Hi :)
I am interested in starting a role play of the Wuxia or eastern fantasy adventure genre with a small group of around three to five max.
The world would be in an alternate universe, so there is no need for historical accuracy nor realism. For example, combat could consist of fancy Martial Arts, elemental magic (wood-water-fire-earth-metal), or enhancement via alchemy pills. Yaoguai, or monsters, would roam the vast continent containing lush forests, mountains, rivers, temples, city-states, ancient city ruins, and dungeons.
Names, landscapes, and culture would be Chinese-based, meaning concepts like Taoism (Ying-Yang and cultivation) and internal alchemy are commonly known. Depending on feedback, this could be more or less strict.
The main focus of the role play would be a journey undertaken by students of a certain school located in an isolated mountain temple, the Shenshan School of Alchemy and Medicine. It is a famous school known for being the closest to reaching the secret of divine immortality. However, for the past decade, Barbarians have been invading the civilized world, making it very unsafe to continue teaching the secrets of the school, lest an invasion result in the secrets being stolen. When it became clear that the Barbarian invasion was an ongoing threat, the Shenshan Elders transported all the school's secrets to a faraway, secret location. While the secrets were safe, the school faced the looming risk of losing any suitable teacher of such secrets, because all the elders were nearing death.
At the beginning of the role play, the main invading force of the Barbarians would have been repelled by an alliance of previously independent city-states, and the Shenshan school, led by the last remaining elder, would quickly send its best students along with some reputable mercenaries to retrieve the secrets. The journey would probably take months and would involve meeting yaoguai, bandits, lingering barbarians, as well as visiting many city-states and other wonders along the way.
For logistics, I would prefer to run a slower-paced, more detailed role play. Please let me know of your interest and/or if you have any questions/feedback, thanks~
