This is one of the great RPGs in a long lineage of great RPGs. Any aspiring RPG creator would do well to study its design, as it does an excellent job of integrating the setting into interesting pieces and chunks that player characters can incorporate into their characters. The magic system is not distinct and separate from the rest of the mechanics, but integrated as a sort of metaphysics that undergirds the setting. As is appropriate for a martial arts game, this integrates deep and balanced (though hardcore veterans will debate how well balanced) martial arts, both "external" and "internal" martial arts.

This is the successor to Weapons of the Gods and builds on it, and attempts to improve on it. The result creates a somewhat unwieldy dice system that can result in analysis paralysis and extremely focused and intense fights, but I had really great experience with this game. It has its flaws, but I heartily recommend it anyway.

I previously posted a poor review as I erroneously believed that DriveThru was providing the old, un-errata'd version with incorrect information. I was very tired at the time and apparently I am a dummy head.

This RPG is great, and this is the correct version. It isn't ~70mb because it lacks bookmarks.

A worthy successor to Weapons of the Gods, ironing out the many small kinks of that previous edition and increasing the level of accessibility for all players.

Absolutely buy this game. No excuses. Slogging through the occasionally clunky prose is more than worth it for the elegant core mechanic, simple and versatile combat system, and downright delightful character-advancement system. Seriously. Shut up and get your credit card out.
