I love Chinese & Taiwanese Wuxia RPGs, not only for the cool martial arts setting but also for playing differently from Western & Japanese RPGs.
I often get asked for recommendations. I had a big thread on Twitter, so here's a new one!

If you're looking for kickass but often underlit games, I can recommend looking at game award nominations from different nations and regions. There's always something fun and innovative
This year's Dutch Game Awards has Grunn, Microtopia and RiftRiff as best game nomination. All very indie & great!

Okay, I'd heard good things about wuxia RPG When Winds Meet, but I was not aware it had a goose mount which it describes as the land's 'greatest overlord'..
And as you upgrade it, it increases the number of geese you're balanced on.
