A downloadable game

This book serves as a companion to various old-school RPG systems, such as BECMI, OSR, and Scarlet Heroes, focusing specifically on the creation of Cultivator classes that incorporate Chinese elemental affinities and Qi abilities. It introduces the Art of Cultivation and Cultivation Points, enhancing character development with optional skill system rules. Though not a complete ruleset, these specialized rules seamlessly integrate with existing mechanics to enrich the gameplay experience with unique cultural and mystical elements. Unlike the simplicity typically found in BECMI and OSR systems, this book offers more structured and comprehensive rules to help non-Chinese audiences grasp the nuances of the genre. Additionally, solo gamers may find it beneficial to use Kevin Crawford's Scarlet Heroes to improve their chances of survival while exploring concepts of immortality.
