I am accepting new players at this time!

Ok... you want to play in this game. Cool!

Here's the deal: The players will be the heroes (I stress this) of More Trouble in Little China. Like the protagonists of the first movie, you'll all be people who, while maybe a little muddy on the edges, are generally decent people at heart who won't stand by while evil things are happening around them.

I am looking for 4 to (gulp) 12 players to start the game.

The game (hopefully) will be run in a series of chapters, or mini adventures. I forsee each chapter taking a month or so to run. I'm planning on running three chapters, with more if the experiment is a hit. I will accept new players in between chapers.

Here's the Character Sheet for the game. Fill it out, then send it back to me for consideration.
 

Character Construction

Each character gets a combat skill, a professional skill, a conversation skill, and a quirk. They must also select why they are in Chinatown and some psychological disadvantage/ego trait that distinguishes their character from the pack.

No character can be a felon or a criminal. At least not a mean one.

Characters must be human, not spirit or ghost or half human.

No character should have a personality or disadvantage that would make them want to pummel the other heroes.
 

You'll play a character that has some reason to be in or near San Francisco Chinatown at the beginning of the game.

• You live in Chinatown.
• You work in Chinatown.
• You have relatives in Chinatown you have to visit periodically.
• You are a tourist visiting Chinatown (prefered for single chapter characters).
• You are attending the Amberama convention. That means your 'character' is an actor in an Amberama (i.e. an Amber character, projected as a shadow(?) into this world).

I will get you into the campaign from there.
 

You get to pick one Combat Skill:
 

Kung Fu	Wang Chi
Western fighting	Jack Burton
Actor fu	Looks good... can actually defend themselves a bit
British Actor Fu	Same as actor fu, but can hold a sword
Martial Art Star	Jackie Chan
or...
Lucky klutz	Gracie Law
Helpless bystander	Miao Yin

The helpless bystander is never badly hurt, just captured if they are engaged in combat and not protected.

Note: players cannot select anything that usually kills/stuns in one hit/shot. No Guns!
 

You get to pick a Professional Skill for your character:
 

Truck driver	Jack Burton
Lawyer	Gracie Law
Reporter	Margo
Restaurant Owner	Wang Chi
Tour Guide	Egg-Shen
Actor

Waiter
etc...

 

You get a Conversation Skill for your characer:

(Think something that can be used in under a minute...)
 

Sincere	can convince a skeptic of something
Chattermouth	blabs, distracting people
Profound	has a chance of saying something incredible insightful
Sarcastic	Can use a retort to deflect a conversation effect
Sweet talker	Can persuade a neutral/hostile into considering something
Fixer	"You see, officer... it was like this..."
etc.

 

A Quirk for your character... something that makes them stand out in a crowd:
 

Magic	Knows magic (not available to players... Sorry.)
Psychic	Feels evil
Lucky	Gets lucky breaks
Fortune teller	Can sense the Wa (Feng Shui, Tao, etc...)
Street smart	Can find out the hot stuff on the street
Sage	Knows strange mystical stuff
Reflexes	"It's all in the reflexes..."
Observant	"Don't you have a spare key?"

 

And a Disadvantage to set your character apart:
 

"Monumentally naive"

"Always putting my nose in where it doesn't belong..."

"I was Born ready"

"You don't think you can waltz in and out like the wind?!"

(you have to pick a tag line for this.... heh )
