Hong Kong Action Theatre!

A cinematic action role-playing game inspired by Hong Kong films, featuring blazing guns, kung fu, flying fists, flashing blades, explosions, and elaborate stunts. Players create actors and characters for fast-paced stories, with star power and importance to the plot often mattering more than weapons or skills. The game includes rules for simulating action-film conventions, source material on Hong Kong and China, profiles of filmmakers and performers, and over a hundred entries on notable Hong Kong action films. It is intended for mature players and contains stylized violence.
