What are the best rulesets for playing wuxia/xianxia/cultivation games?

>>95917532 (OP)
You do realize that these three are differently things right?
>Wuxia
I don't know of any mainstream system that doesn't allow you to play a magic king fu man.
>Xianxia
Exalted, maybe?
>Cultivation
No official system I know that handles ths pill eating & hunting autism and the "cultivated in a cave for 100 years" shtick. I've seen a few homebrew attempts though.

You don't understand the genre.
>Exalted
Can't even run wuxia with that shit.

I've been trying to get a group to play pic related, but the closest I've been able to get is a very low-powered Exalted game.

Art of Wuxia
Wandering Heroes of Orge Gate
Weapons of the Gods
Legends of the Wulin
Feng Shui 2 (to a degree, it's more hong kong action movies as a whole)
Righteous Blood Ruthless Blades.
A lot of people are mentioning Outgunned but I'm not familiar with that game.

being 13 or Chinese

Savage worlds has
Of Breath and Flow (fanmade supplement)
Legend of Ghost Mountain (official content, a setting book but really it can be used as a wuxia toolbox too).

Good list. Any particular recommendations from those? I'm mostly familiar with Feng Shui 2, but it is definitely more on the pulpy end, but I've had fun running it.

As someone else who knows nothing about Wuxia outside of memes: Why can’t you run ‘even Wuxia’ in Exalted? I always thought it was made for high-powered East Asian action.

The rules are autistic and dysfunctional. There's nothing kung fu about it.

>some people still think Shou is around the same ballpark as SPK when SPK was getting injured by random mooks

>>95919572
It’s essentially the same.

> autistic and dysfunctional
Sounds like Fung-fu

There must be proper laws against sexual violence to ensure proper legal rape exists.
