What's your favourite Hong Kong themed adventure? Time and setting doesn't matter
>>93175748It's not exactly Hong Kong but I've always wanted to run or play a game like Black Lagoon in a Roanapur kind of setting.
>>93175748It doesn't matter.
>>93175748>hong kong themedWhat does this mean? Like 1990s british ruled hong kong or modern she pingping steps on necks hong kong?>adventureSo you want like a module/scenario response?>captcha TXAS>what's your favorite texas themed adventure OP
>>93176199oh I'll take any of that. That's what makes Hong Kong such an interesting setting, it has such a rich and unique history. Any adventure will doNow someone should make another thread so you can get a good Texan adventure as I haven't played any yet xD
>>93175926Yeah that sounds awesome! The real way to do it is first you torture your players through a mindless corporate job for hours and then you let them become pirates for the authentic feeling xD
>>93176226Anything Feng Shui, I would probably do Seed of the New Flesh and run both adventures set in the Hong Kong underbelly.Shadowrun would also work well, there's a whole game set in China you could steal adventure ideas from
>>93176296Yeah, Feng Shui. Four Bastards is a lovely adventure and it starts in Hong Kong.
Kowloon dungeon crawl
>>93175748I barely remember it now but there was a Unisystem thing we did. The GM might’ve made it from whole cloth. It was dual wielding pistols and Hong Kong detective stuff. I didn’t Feng Shui but feel (with little justification) that there’s no way in hell it doesn’t hit close to that. For all I know it has junks, opium, and pirates swishing about. Were I to revisit fictional HK, it’d probably be the ‘heavenly’ Under City, the stomping grounds of Dog Brother #1. Barely any information about it, so it’s free real estate…Or what Black Lagoon anon said, for a more staunchly modern take.>>93176234Lol.
>>93175748Not Hong Kong, but close enough: Shanghai Bullets from Stunning Eldrich Tales for Trail of Cthulhu. It's set in 1930s Shanghai, a.k.a. the Berlin of the East, back when you had French, British, Japanese, and German intelligence running around along with tons of different gangs. Which is sort of the same vibe I get from Hong Kong a bit later in history.>>93176199Hell in Texas from The Things We Leave Behind for Call of Cthulhu
>>93176234The wrath of the salarymen could be a fun campaign idea
>>93176848Thank you very much kind anon, that's exactly the kind of adventure I'm looking for, I'll just replace the supernatural stuff with drugs and it's a wrap!
>>93175748Bloodsport
>>93179305It might actually be a good framework for that, as far as cthulhu scenarios go: the main plot is essentially an item chase/keepaway game. It could probably work with drugs, but if you want to de-supernatural it, I might suggest something more unique, like incriminating photos of someone, or some sort of bird statue filled with money...
I'm racking my mind, but surely there were some Shadowrun adventures set in HK, right?
>>93187785I did expect this thread to be stuffed with shadowrun adventures xD
>>93176226>>93188914>xD>xDYou have to be 18 to be on 4chan.
I haven't gotten around to tabling it yet, but OP might be interested in Hong Kong Action Theater. Super low budget 90s RPG that's clearly a product of love. There are adventures throughout their books (at least the 1st edition ones, I've never touched the even shorter-lived BESM tri-stat 2nd edition), but they made an entire adventure book called Film Festival #1picrel
>>93175748I wish I could find a module that plays like The Raid, except it's in Kowloon.
>>93194872Sounds like you need to make it yourself anon.
>>93189292People have been using xD on this website for the last twenty years my dude.>>93194872I mean The Raid/Dread are basically just dungeoncrawls with aggresive timers. I think you could do it
>>93198190Huh, a timer system. Sounds like an idea. I'll look up how those work.
>>93203717Check out Index Card RPG, not sure if they invented it but that's where I saw it first
>>93207502Thanks, I'll check it out.>>93197048>>93198190Speaking of, any systems you can recommend? I hear Shadowrun is cancerous and atm Ops and Tactics feels sloggy and too rocket tag-y for a prolonged encounter like that.
>>93213751Systems to recommend for what? For running a game set in Hong Kong? If so, what kind of game are we talking about here?If you are going for a Golden Age HK action flick theme then >>93191058 was my recommendation.
