it's a totally different story line for me, and I'd like to see it played out. I just want to get some of the weapons correct. my son and daughter are excited about playing . I've got a ton of work to do yet. we also love , LOVE the movie Forbidden Kingdom, set in China with Gung Fu and Magical Chi , so many ways I can run with this. but afraid it will be piecemeal -just combat for right now, until I can write out the world story.

That sounds like a fun game.

You might need to invent more spells for your magical feel. I stole spells from other games that looked interesting, and just put them where I felt they belonged on the IQ scale while giving them costs appropriate to the effect. I also tweaked some spells and increased the IQ requirement for the new version. One thing ITL lacks is 'mundane' spells with little or no use in combat.
