Feng Shui
2nd EditionCore Mechanic
Roll a positive d6 and a negative d6, subtract the negative die from the positive, and add the Swerve to an Action Value. Meeting or beating the Difficulty succeeds, while open-ended sixes create extreme results.
Best For
Groups that want fast Hong Kong action, tactical shot-by-shot fights, melodramatic hooks, and time-traveling campaigns that mix genres
Highlights
A descending shot countdown makes every action and interrupt change when a character acts again. One-hit mooks support crowd-clearing spectacle, while featured foes and bosses use deeper wound rules for climactic fights. Feng shui sites link faction victories to changes in history across four connected eras.
Considerations
Combat requires tracking shots, interrupts, wound thresholds, and different enemy tiers. Starting characters use prebuilt archetypes and follow curated advancement tracks. The rules assume proactive cinematic fights and melodrama instead of grounded realism or cautious procedural play.
