Blood of the Valiant (1e)
 |
69AD-Juncture und Magie¸ leider wohl nicht nach Deutschland gesehen gekommen¸ Daedalus. Erste Version war von Ronin Publishing.
Blood of the Valiant is proceeding smoothly now¸ though it's had its setbacks. The book's new material by Keith Baker has come in right on schedule and looks good. I'm presently neck deep in layout¸ but expect the book will make it out to the printer early next week. I'm going to have an urgent need to see Once Upon a Time in China III again right after that¸ though¸ for the White Lotus ceremony therein. Then it's on to the next big Feng Shui project¸ which is still too secret for me to mention. The book deftly intertwines the Secret War into real Chinese history¸ but not in the same way that a White Wolf book does. The two are kept separate; it's trivial to determine what is and in not fictional.
"Your kung fu is very good¸ young dragon¸ but try my Shaolin Fist!"
The year is 1850. Western Imperialists are encroaching upon China...and so are threats from other times¸ spilling through Netherworld portals¸ plotting to control the powerful feng shui of this juncture. Standing up against them are the toughest Shaolin monks of all the ages: The Guiding Hand.
- Meet Quan Lo¸ the Perfect Master; his Six Principles give purpose to the Guiding Hand¸ but don't let that serene demeanor fool you.
- Meet Wong Fei Hong¸ Fong Sai Yuk¸ and other kung fu heroes of legend.
- Learn about the history¸ philosophy¸ and organization of the Guiding Hand.
- Discover Quan Lo's plans¸ and the part your corpse can play in them.
- Thrill to six new character types¸ three new fu paths¸ and lots of guns native to the 1850 juncture.
- As if that weren't enough¸ we've got an adventure to take you into the heart of the Darkness Pagoda itself.
Blood of the Valiant originally appeared in 1998¸ produced by Ronin Publishing. This new edition from Atlas Games is published in hardcover format¸ and features a bonus new chapter and new artwork. It's a book no Feng Shui player will want to miss!
