Hearts of Wulin is now on Kickstarter!

Hey folks! 

We wanted to let you know that Hearts of Wulin is currently being crowdfunded on Kickstarter. The project smashed through its initial funding goal in just 42 minutes and is now unlocking stretch goals at a good clip.

Hearts of Wulin is a tabletop roleplaying game of wuxia melodrama by Agatha Cheng and Lowell Francis. In Hearts of Wulin, players take the role of skilled martial artists in a world of rival clans, conspiracies, and obligations. The game emulates films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Chinese wuxia TV series like The Smiling Proud Wanderer and Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain, and Chinese martial arts novels from the second half of the twentieth century. In these tales, romance is as dangerous as a blade. Everyone has ties to factions, loves they can’t quite express, and secrets which will shake them to their core. As in the source material, stories in Hearts of Wulin are driven by the characters’ duties, romantic desires, and entanglements with other characters.

So, why are we telling you, our Patrons, about it? Simple: it's a project being published by The Gauntlet. The game has been extensively play tested in our spaces over the last year or so, and Agatha and Lowell are active, valuable members of The Gauntlet community. Part of the reason we're able to help Agatha and Lowell get the game off the ground in the first place is because of the resources and skills we have gained from publishing Codex, which, of course, you all are a vital part of making happen every month. 

Take a look at the Kickstarter page, linked below. There you'll find a link to the playtest packet, which is an early version of the game. If it looks like something you'd like to support, by all means, please do so.
