A Wushu Guide to Gun-Fu

Wushu: A game you get or don't get... A game you'll love or hate!

The entire range of Wushu books and suppliments comes with my highest recommendation. Though none of the suppliments are in any way essential, they all add a little to the game's concept and prove its versitility time and again. I use Wire-Fu as my core rules, with Pulp-Fu as the secondary set the players tend to peruse (the difference is minimal of course) and both car-fu and cut-fu are mainstays for their excellent ideas.

The Game In short: It's NOT a role-playing game in the usual sense... More an action movie (or whatever tpye you like) that flies by with everyone putting in ideas, making it up frame-by-frame, kick-by-kick and one witty line at a time. It needs good players we can share the limelight and work together, and a GM who can keep track of a story while adapting to the (considerable) amount of player control.

Rules-wise, there's not much. A clear, simple and workable D6 mechanic that gives you big bonuses for being creative, clever and playing to theme, while offering nothing to players who say 'I hit it' every round. Like I say, not for everyone.

I'm especially keen on the fact that if you use EVERY suppliment and rule, it's still no more complex or difficult that just using one book! A rare and wonderful thing in rpgs.

Gun-Fu goes well with Pulp-Fu and Wire-Fu. It throws in a lot of ideas and suggestions for making gunfights that extra bit cool! While it offers the usual range of characters, I didn't find them so inspiring as other wushu books. Not to say they're bad, and it's more than made up for by the examples of play and settings, which are up to Bayn's usual standard of kicking arse!<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Another great Wushu product that adds flavor to any campaign involving gunplay. Good source of descriptive ideas, even if your players are too lazy to play Wushu.

If you need a little help with your Wushu game you can't go wrong buying this and the other Fu guides, all for a few pennies/cents.

Simular in style and design to Wushu's Guide to cutfu, this book is a must for any gunnbunny's totebag. After reading this slim tome you will feel more "guntuitive" and be able to think more like your character, as well as invision cool new stunts.

Not a lot of game mechanics in this book, more of a collection of "descriptors" of how to run a Wushu gun fight. If you're heavy into describing every action your character takes, and have never seen a Jet Li film, this might be for you. Otherwise, save your $2.50.

An excellent suppliment for the Wushu system. Like the other Wushu sups, it runs extremely light on mechanics, but there are several ideas within that make it more than worth the low cover price. In particular, the bit about running running sniper fights is significantly worthwhile.
