Every nine years in the Imperial City of Kanraku, the Jade Emperor allows a few elite warriors to enter the House of Seven Dooms, there to compete in the Ikusa-Ko, a grand melee in which the fighters vie among themselves to determine which of them has the mightiest Kung Fu. When an uncontested victor emerges from the field of battle, he is awarded the post of Emerald Champion and the honor of standing at the Emperor's right hand for the next nine years.
But something has gone wrong. Nine years ago, although an impressive group of fighters entered the House of Seven Dooms, no new Emerald Champion emerged. The Emperor's oracles divined that all the fighters died, visited by treachery most foul. Now, as one of this year's contestants, the Emperor asks that you accept the burden of a twofold duty: not only must the a new Emerald Champion be selected, but the Emperor wishes that the dark fate of the previous contestants become known. Could the same peril still be lurking in the shadows for you?
It's a Throne War with Something More!™ Rules will vaguely similar to the Amber DRPG rules, and in-game bonuses will be awarded for admirably cheesy Kung-Fu role-playing. Shout the name of your signature move as you attack, swear vengeance upon your foes in the name of your honored master, whatever – the cheesier, the better. Characters to be generated before the Con, using a system concocted by the GM (Jim Phillips).
