I love Chinese & Taiwanese Wuxia RPGs, not only for the cool martial arts setting but also for playing differently from Western & Japanese RPGs.
I often get asked for recommendations. I had a big thread on Twitter, so here's a new one!

My new single Your Sound with @splendiferachie.xyz has a music video! It's full of yuri longing and the pain of separation anxiety, and features many wonderful Kumikos drawn by pancakealezs.

psst, no one is struggling with this - we are trying to create singular things that resonate with a huge audience or resonate hugely with a specific audience. We "struggle" with how tech and VC funding has broken almost every creative economy we have. So thanks but no thanks
