Burning Shaolin
''Burning Shaolin'' is a 2001 role-playing game adventure published by Atlas Games for ''Feng Shui''. Plot summary ''Burning Shaolin'' is an adventure in which the player characters must save the Five Crippled Heroes who have been poisoned by the sorcerer Kan Kuei. Publication history Shannon Appelcline noted that "Unlike many other d20 publishers, Atlas worked to spread that d20 success to their own core lines. They thus established a third d20 line called 'Coriolis' that published dual-statted books, each of which provided game info for both d20 and one of Atlas' existing games. These books included ''Burning Shaolin'' (2001) for ''Feng Shui'', ''The Ascension of Magdalene'' (2002) for ''Unkown Armies'', ''The Black Monks of Glastonbury'' (2002) for ''Ars Magica'' and ''Last Hero in Scandinavia'' (2003) for ''Rune''."

Feng Shui (role-playing Game)
''Feng Shui'' is a martial arts-themed role-playing game, designed by Robin Laws, published first by Daedalus Entertainment and now by Atlas Games. The game shares its setting with the collectible card game '' Shadowfist''. The system is simple, with most detail being in the game's combat system. Combat is made to flow quickly, moving from one action scene to another very quickly. It was inspired and based on Hong Kong style action movies. The characters begin at a high level of skill, as appropriate for protagonists in the source films. After a successful Kickstarter, Atlas Games released a Second Edition of Feng Shui in late 2015, on the eve of the game's 20th anniversary of publication. Overview The name ''Feng Shui'' refers to one of the central themes of the game: those who control places with powerful Feng Shui control the world. These people find that events go in their favour more often than would be explained by chance. The outcomes of all major historical ...

Player Character
A player character (also known as a playable character or PC) is a fictional Character (arts), character in a video game or tabletop role-playing game whose actions are controlled by a player rather than the rules of the game. The characters that are not controlled by a player are called non-player characters (NPCs). The actions of non-player characters are typically handled by the game itself in video games, or according to rules followed by a gamemaster refereeing tabletop role-playing games. The player character functions as a fictional, alternate body for the player controlling the character. Video games typically have one player character for each person playing the game. Some games, such as multiplayer online battle arena, hero shooter, and fighting games, offer a group of player characters for the player to choose from, allowing the player to control one of them at a time. Where more than one player character is available, the characters may have distinctive Attribute (rol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
