Aslanii76:
Sounds like the RPG came from the card game, which was called "Shadowfist." I thought it was the other way around.
You are right. The RPG originated from the card game. And it's now at its 2nd edition.

Perhaps Dimsumpizza could further describe this RPG further ?? It sounds like a very niche type RPG.
Feng Shui RPG is a tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) that blends martial arts, supernatural elements, and cyberpunk aesthetics. Can you imagine a world where chi flows through the city, ancient spirits haunt neon-drenched streets, and technology augments the human body? That's it!
Here's a breakdown:
Core Concept: Feng Shui revolves around the concept of Chi, a life force that permeates everything. Players embody "Shadowfists," martial artists who manipulate Chi to perform extraordinary feats. This could involve superhuman agility, enhanced senses, or even the ability to manipulate the environment.
Gameplay:
Action-Oriented: Feng Shui emphasizes fast-paced, cinematic combat. Players use a unique dice system (+1d6-1d6+ modifier/stats) and a focus on style to determine the outcome of actions.
Storytelling: While combat is central, Feng Shui encourages creative storytelling. Players can weave narratives of intrigue, betrayal, and redemption within the vibrant and dangerous cyberpunk setting.
Character Creation: Players design unique Shadowfists with distinct fighting styles, supernatural abilities, and personal backstories.
Key Features:
Chi Manipulation: A core mechanic where players spend "Chi Points" to enhance their actions, unleash devastating attacks, or perform supernatural feats.
Style Points: Awarded for creative and cinematic actions, allowing players to gain advantages in combat or even alter the flow of the story.
Cyberpunk Setting: A blend of gritty realism and futuristic technology, creating a unique and visually striking backdrop for your adventures.
In essence, Feng Shui RPG offers a thrilling blend of martial arts action, supernatural powers, and cyberpunk flair. If you enjoy games like Shadowrun, Vampire: The Masquerade, or any system that emphasizes cinematic action and character-driven storytelling, Feng Shui might be the perfect game for you.
