I read through it last night as well. It does look pretty cool but I have to admit that while 60% of me loves it the 40% rules lawyer twitched at the thought. I have an odd imbalance to maintain when it comes to games. )

I just read the Wushu Open rules, and I have to say it does sound like a really cool change of pace from all the other role playing games on my shelves. While I don't typically go in for completely over-the-top amounts of action in my role playing sessions, I may need to make an exception and try this out; seems like it would make for a great exercise of certain role play skills (gone a little rusty) in a more free-form environment.

Interesting. I don’t know if I need to get myself interested in another game right now but I will certainly need to check that out.

If you liked Scion’s Stunt Dice, check out the Wushu RPG. It’s whole mechanic is very much like Stunt Dice, except better. The cooler your description, the more dice you roll, but a bad roll can never screw up your description / action! There’s even a very simple rule to set up how many dice you get, so it’s non-arbitrary and there’s no allegations of favoritism.

I played Wushu about a week ago, and it blew my mind. Such a good game.
