Through Wednesday, July 23 we present the Hearts of Wulin Bundle featuring Hearts of Wulin, the Apocalypse Engine RPG of Chinese wuxia action melodrama from Age of Ravens Games. In fantastic ancient China, your martial-artist hero can defeat massed troops, plot courtly intrigues, and race along walls or float lightly in empty air – but your amazing skills are powerless beside the entanglements of duty, loyalty, thwarted desire, and unrequited longing. Against wicked governors, treacherous rivals, feuding kung fu schools, shapeshifting snakes, and the dictates of your tormented heart, can you hold to your ideals?
Hearts of Wulin adapts the Apocalypse Engine rules system for your own high-flying, high-stakes wuxia epics inspired by Chinese dramas: movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon – TV series like Laughing in the Wind and Legend of the Condor Heroes – and the martial-arts novels of Louis Cha AKA Jin Yong (1924-2018), one of the bestselling authors of the 20th Century. Tell tales filled with monks and peasants, princesses and Taoist priests, warrior-scholars and lone-wolf wanderers – spectacular swordplay, battles that defy gravity, forbidden kung fu styles, and training montages (in those forbidden styles) – chivalry, betrayal, sacrifice, and we already mentioned the dictates of your tormented heart. They’re all part of life in the community of sects, clans, and factions called wulin.
This new Hearts of Wulin Bundle gives you the entire game line for a price within reach of the humblest novice fresh from the Shaolin Temple. Pay just US$7.95 to get all four titles in our Wulin Collection (retail value $33) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the complete Hearts of Wulin core rulebook (previously in our September 2022 Apocalypse Engine 5 offer) and three supplements new to the Bundle of Holding: the Worlds sourcebook of alternate settings, Numberless Secrets (how to run Judge Dee-style mysteries), and the Names & Entanglements print-and-cut card deck. The three new supplements have a combined retail value of $18.
Will your Eight Petals Dancer finally mete out justice for the villainous Iron Prosperity magistrate who ordered the destruction of your Unconquered Sky School? And can you still find happiness with your beloved, the magistrate’s estranged heir who has been compelled, for dark secret reasons, to leave off protecting the orphanage and resume a career as chief assassin of the Deadly Harmony Cult? Well, will you? Find out with this Hearts of Wulin offer before it meets its final heroic and moving fate Wednesday, July 23.
