Hearts of Wulin, a PbtA game of wuxia romance and melodrama is now at Age of Ravens Games. Written by Joyce Ch*ng and Lowell Francis (me). This game and its expansion, Hearts of Wulin Worlds, offers a range of playstyles by focusing on the powerful heroes trapped by a web of obligations and personal desires.
It’s pretty awesome IMHO. It draws on the literature of writers like Jin Yong and Gu Long, in particular adaptations of those stories in dozens and dozens of TV series (Laughing in the Wind, The Proud Twins). It also works to include things like more recent web novels and their adaptations, with rules for xianxia and the fantastic. The core book includes ideas for various genres, narrating fight scenes, building entanglements, and handling historical/courtly games.
Hearts of Wulin: Worlds includes several settings:
Shadow of Joseon, set during the Korean Joseon Dynasty. (Yeonsoo Julian Kim)
1905: San Francisco, presents a Chinatown just emerging from the shadow of the Chinese Exclusion Act. (Banana Chan)
Cour de l'Eppee transports Hearts of Wulin to swashbuckling France. (Cat Evans)
Academy of the Blade offers a dueling academy inspired by Revolutionary Girl Utena. (Alison Tam)
Fight Me IRL is a unique take on cyberpunk. (James Mendez Hodes)
Silk & Steam gives you a wondrous silkpunk setting. (Kienna Shaw)
It also includes two major rules add-ons:
The Villain, a new playbook. Not all wulin "Heroes" are heroes with a capital H. Some start in a darker place...
Numberless Secrets, a new set of rules for telling mystery/investigation stories in Hearts of Wulin.
These can be found on Drivethrurpg– both are part of the ongoing GMs Day sale happening right now.
Personally I’m really excited about the future for Hearts of Wulin. Though I never learned the print run, I do know that the last of the physical copies recently sold out at Indie Press Revolution. I have a short list of things I’m hoping to accomplish.
Get it up on itch.io. I know some folks prefer to get their ttrpg pdfs via that site.
Figure out how to get Print-on-Demand versions up on Drivethru. I’ve been told this is a challenging process to get right, so I’m hoping to talk to some folks who have done it before.
Publish the Names & Entanglements deck. This was a self-print add-on for Hearts of Wulin. It's a useful resource for character creation and I’m hoping to have physical copy available for sale.
I’ve always said folks should feel free to hack and rework Hearts of Wulin as they wish. But I’d like to get a clear Creative Commons license out there for everyone and encourage folks to play around with the system.
Eventually I might do a 1.5 version bringing some of the HoW: Worlds material over into the main book, as well as a couple of rules updates.
I want to publish a collection of Numberless Secrets mysteries along with guidance for running detective wuxia games. I love the series Ancient Detective and this is the best way I get to play out those kinds of stories.
Get an online keeper which has easy to use set ups for all of the expansion worlds. We have a solid one– newly automated thanks to Agatha– but it doesn’t have all the expansions.
Some folks have done from amazing things with HoW so far (inspired by media like Scott Pilgrim, Cobra Kai, Star Wars and beyond). It would be great if I could assemble a collection of new hacks and settings, maybe with some additional play options.
Finalize the one translation agreement I’ve been offered.
I want to thank everyone who has read and/or played Hearts of Wulin. It remains a game I love to run and it would be amazing to have more people try it out.

KIM JINSEO is back in New York City for New York Fashion Week.
On February 9, Legacy Agency confirmed that the model will be opening the show for Victor De Souza.
The model’s sudden return to America has recently been the talk of the internet ever since he was spotted at Incheon International Airport on February 7. Days leading up to the trip, JINSEO was seen interacting online with renowned personalities based in New York City. Speculations were fueled even further when the model was spotted meeting up with designers Peter Do and Josh J. Holm upon his arrival to New York City.
KIM JINSEO was last seen as Kim Yong-san in the hit tvN drama “Start-Up”. Elysium’s latest fragrances collection, inspired by the judgment of paris, is now available online and in leading department stores.
[ + / - ] new york fashion week must really love jinseo! i’m surprised that he’ll be a part of the victor de souza show, but i know he’ll do well!!
[ + / - ] how in the world did they get him as the model??? there are so many other models they could have picked, but they picked this guy........
I guess Yong Yea got lunch with David Hayter (or something along those lines) and people were speculating they were in the booth together and so Kiryu and Kashiwagi'd get to meet? But taking that at face value, I'm not sure which of the games this would be. Honestly I think it would be pretty funny if they met and pretended not to recognize each other the whole time though
Kiryu having his own party has been driving me insane since it was first announced lol, but not going to do too much good to speculate when we know less than nothing, I guess. All I can really predict is that it'll be smaller than Ichiban's (since they don't share equal screen-time and Kiryu is ultimately a deuteragonist). But Ichiban's party only really "needs" to have the core four, so perhaps Ichi's could be smaller to compensate for having two parties. If not, I'd expect to see a proper replacement for Eri, at least.
I will say there are a number of interesting routes to be taken. Totally agree we're (probably) not gonna be seeing past major characters from the Kiryu Saga in Kiryu's party, but then... is it gonna be past characters of another kind? Entirely new characters, like most of Gaiden's cast so far (though admittedly, most have ties to past characters)? People Ichi knows, but not necessarily Kiryu? It's all so AUGH
Huh. I wonder what that was about. If it really is a sign they’ll meet (which would be CRAZY if Kiryu got to interact with revived characters) or if it’s just Hayter giving Yea a welcome to the team. God imagine them meeting again in 8 and being like haha idk who this old gray fart is :)
Oh? Kiryu’s part will be smaller?
I wonder what Kim and Zhao will be doing. I want to see my annoying moaning catboy again
This could go any which way right now and it’s got me by the neck if I think too much about it 💀 Uh Daigo is an optional party member and you have to bring him to Mine as a twisted surprise substory. RGG Studio appeared in my room last night to tell me that. Yup.
Speaking of that though, I wonder if even Daigo and Mine would get to meet again if a revival actually happened. He was such a big part of his story before— sexuality and all that. It’d be weird to not see them meet up someway. It’d be sooooo funny if Mine called him Daigo-san and bowed out of habit.

I really enjoyed the first couple arcs in the show, but there was a real drop in interest by the end of it. I'm sure the pandemic was part of the problem, but the biggest problem was the same thing that plagues so many of these workplace rom-coms — The dreaded LOVE TRIANGLE!
The premise actually worked for the most part. The writers kept me guessing enough at the beginning that I couldn't decide what was going to happen with the relationships. I especially liked the underdog story at the beginning. But they kept the resolution to the stupid love triangle going to 6 episodes too long. And I just stopped caring about most of the story. Especially for the last three episodes. The only thing that kept me going really was the performances.
The Performances
Bae Suzy (as Seo Dal-mi) did a pretty good job as the main romantic interest and really the main character. The writing at the end (which may have been a casualty of the pandemic) really let her down in the last 6-8 episodes. What I think the writers were trying for in her arc was having her go from under-confident to over-confident and then finding a balance at the end.
They kind of painted themselves in a corner as they wanted her to do something dumb enough to have consequences, but not so dumb that she washed up and ruined the company. But there aren't very many real life cases of that to choose from so you got something that could have been easily avoided if she had talked to anyone in the industry for 5 minutes. It was dumb and felt contrived, and it took the character to a less interesting place in the last few episodes.
Nam Joo-hyuk (as Nam Do-san), did a good but fairly forgettable job. The writers could have done alot more to make his character interesting, but his real problem was that he was playing opposite Kim Seon-ho—who would go on to play a better version of the same character in Hometown Cha x3—and so he ended up looking like a boring kid until maybe the very end of the show.
Kim Seon-ho (as Kim Sang-ho) was one of the standout players here. He had the most interesting backstory, and the grumpy cynic with a heart of gold character was by far the most interesting of the cast. He also had great banter and chemistry with everyone which was just fun to watch.
Kim Hae-sook (as the grandmother, Choi Won-deok) was also fun to watch. Every scene with her and Kim Seon-ho was pretty good. Even when they were just sitting and talking and eating street food.
Kang Han-na (as Won In-jae / Seo In-jae) was probably the most underused main character. Kang Han-na did a good job with what she was given, but her role was mostly just to provide motivation for the other characters. The writers could have given her story more attention and had a much more interesting show. For various reason, they didn't.
Stephanie Lee (as Jung Sa-ha) did a pretty good job with what she was given. I didn't buy the romance arc the writers did with her character, but it was cute enough that I sort of liked it anyways. Once the writers gave the guy she was dating an actual personality, anyway. Overall, it was a decent role, but much less interesting role than in Yong-pal.
TL; DR:
There's a severe dropoff in quality in the last 8 episodes. This could be due to the pandemic, but in any case there was alot of wheel spinning and I nearly lost interest.
They had a decent love triangle which only worked because the third corner was played by Kim Seon-ho. If you were in the know, you could figure out who the writers were going to end it with (the ages, the marketing posters, etc. made that pretty clear), but Seon-ho did such a good job with a cool character, that you still kind of wanted Sang-ho and Seo Dal-mi to ride off into the sunset. But there's always Hometown Cha x3 instead.
Sun Myung Moon visited Elder Na’s retreat and was chased away. Moon was exposed as a dangerous heretic.
Sun Myung Moon:
“Around that time, [probably 1953, possibly early 1954] I visited Elder Na's retreat and was chased away. From there, I came back up to Seoul and established the Unification Church.”
Na Oon Moung (나운몽, 1914–2009), who used to be an elder of Supyo Methodist church in Seoul, operated the group of Yong Moon San Prayer Mountain (용문산 기도원) in 1954. There he taught that Hananim (하나님, the Korean God) is the Yahweh of the Bible.
In 1947, Na Oon Moung founded Aeyangsuk (애향숙 愛鄕熟) which used to play a part in popular movement such as faith movement and poverty eradication. It became the mother of the Korean Protestant prayer movement.
In the 1950s indigenous Christian spiritual movements appeared on the scene: Un-Mong Na from 1952, Moon Seon-Myeong in 1954, and Park Tae-Seon in 1955. The two latter groups were soon exposed as dangerous heretics, but Na’s campaigns, which were accompanied by pentecostal phenomena like tongues and healings, paved the way for other churches to touch the approaching Sunbogeum movement, even though Na’s prayer house was deep in the Yongmun Mountain and his theologically untrained exegeses aroused the suspicion of the Korean Church.

What a good k-drama! Once again, I was not expecting too much but was very gladly surprised. It is one of those styles of writing that kdrama writers are having in the last couple of years where they really try to make different stories and realistic plots. Suzy had as much chemistry as always. She never fails to deliver.
I am not even sure where to start...Seo Dal Mi wanted to be an entrepreneur and prove her sister, mother, and previous bosses/colleages that she is capable of standing on her own even if she does not have an outstanding academic career. Nam Do San is really good at coding but very insecure because of a time he cheated and got mistakenly considered a child prodigy. The character growth of both is incredible, from unsure and inexperienced youth to self-sufficient and confident adults. I think that is one of the things I enjoyed the most, to see how we change throughout our twenties/thirties.
For me, that was even more impressive than the very unusual love triangle the writers were able to come up with. Even so, it is so peculiar that it is definitely worth commenting. Dal Mi’s grandma was able to convince a random kid she met and was helping to write love letters to her granddaughter to keep her from feeling lonely after the father passed away. They borrowed the name of a kid they found on the newspaper. It worked, the illusion helped Dal Mi through her teenage years, but obviously once she met the real Nam Do San, she could quickly figure out he was not the same guy who wrote her the letters. I liked how she dealt with the situation. She was the CEO and could not be dramatic or emotional when the company depended on her.
In general, all of the characters made many decisions that were not correct and had to pay for the consequences. I really liked that. The team in general was great! The situations they went through were realistic, winning and losing, learning from their mistakes. When they messed up with the contract with 2STO I kind of expected the show to somehow find a magical solution, as these shows usually do. But no, they fucked up and had to deal with the consequences. The team had to be several years apart and the girls figured out on their own what to do. I liked that Dal Mi was able to develop the ideas she had in mind and was not set back by this.
Han Ji Pyung was also a great character. Funny and his story was also so interesting! How he finds himself tangled with such a complicated story and how deeply he cares for Dal Mi’s grandma was amazing. The hand scene was hilarious. I also liked how Kim Yong San said he wanted revenge but what he meant was to ruin Ji Pyung’s record of having none of the companies he does not invest in succeed.
I also really enjoyed seeing Lee Cheol San and Jung Sa Ha. They were a cute and funny couple! He earned her respect and therefore her heart and it was funny to see them apart and how she would go through so many boyfriends so quickly because no one would measure up to him. I laughed so hard at the end, he did have to shave and they made their relationship known.
I also must write a bit about In Jae because she was so cool. She had to learn to survive on her own. She was able to thrive and become a great boss and show her stepfather that she did not depend on him to be successful. She looked beautiful with short hair. The scene where she cried and look like a panda was so funny. The sister relationship was funny and I liked that Dal Mi swallowed her pride and went to In Jae. They worked really welll together and I loved that the family was reunited.
