Game Summary

Hearts of Wulin: Worlds is an alternate setting book for Hearts of Wulin, the game of wuxia melodrama. It features six new settings for the game, a new playbook for the core game, rules for telling mystery stories, and setting generation tables.

More details about what you'll find inside:

Shadow of Joseon is set during the Joseon Dynasty when tensions between the aristocracy and the citizens they abuse are at a peak, but hope glimmers on the horizon in the form of outlaws, outsiders, and nobles willing to use their privilege for the greater good.

1905: San Francisco sets the game in a Chinatown just emerging from the shadow of the Chinese Exclusion Act. Join a Tong and fight for your place in this new land.

Cour de l'Eppee transports Hearts of Wulin to swashbuckling France, in and around the court of King Louis the Golden.

Academy of the Blade is an expansive new setting inspired by Revolutionary Girl Utena and other dueling academy anime series.

Fight Me IRL is a setting that imagines a cyberpunk future where weapons have been outlawed by the corporate powers-that-be, and regular people must use martial arts traditions to make their way in the world.

Silk & Steam is a silkpunk setting for Hearts of Wulin. The Lord of Iron has united the five kingdoms and technological breakthroughs are changing the landscape, but some are ready to use innovations from the elements themselves to reclaim their cultural identity.

The Villain is a new playbook for Hearts of Wulin. Not all wulin "Heroes" are heroes with a capital H. Some start in a darker place...

Numberless Secrets is a new set of rules for telling mystery/investigation stories in Hearts of Wulin. It uses an adaptation of the innovative mystery system found in Brindlewood Bay.

Additional Setting Material for the core game, including wulin heroes, facdtions, and 10 setting generation tables.
