"Qi [pronounced ChEE] is the Chinese word for the energy of life. The concept of Qì embodies a dynamic role playing system for the Internet age, always expanding, yet easily accessible for players who have moved beyond the 19th century tools of the printing press, pen, and paper."
--A. C. Chappell (Designer).

Real-time combat tactics meet poker-like strategy.

Qi makes the threat of violence effective and dramatic with maneuvers designed to control the flow of combat, all using a simultaneous one-test system so easy you can do the math on one hand! To see a preview movie for Windows Media Player of our LARP combat click here.

The game you want, the way you want, for a single episode or an entire campaign.

Qi's modular design can be used for table-top, LARP, and online play with one set of rules and can simulate any world or setting with tools that help you create exactly the tone and style you desire, from historical to fantasy to futuristic, while scaling from the realistic to the fantastic all without unbalancing the system and keeping the game fair. Special ablilties, magic, and technology are created using FX, fully customizable abilities that translate a variety of "powers" into terms of "game mechanics". If you don't see what you want, build it! View our Online Rules, Featured Realms, or Preview the Actor's Guide.

Heinlein once postulated that every story ever created occupies a persistent realm in time-space. Some quantum theorists propose that all probabilities do in fact occur as alternate realities. Qi assumes that both are true and that all thoughts and dreams, creativity and probability creates the universe. Any creative endeavor adds to the complexity of a quantum temporal reality where anything which can happen, does occur at a specific quantum temporal location. There is a time and space for every possibility.

Fact or fiction, dream or story all thought and creativity becomes real in Qi. Each new inspiration, causes the creation of a new realm in quantum reality. The point of inspiration shatters into an infinite number of possible directions each spawned from a different choice, a different way things could have gone. Every choice, every possibility, every outcome or effect exists in quantum reality and spider webs outward infinitely through time-space. The course we experience through time-space as individual beings is defined by our own choices and shaped by our perceptions of how we affect reality and how it affects us.

"My mind is made up to start a system of my own - I mean a system of totality, embracing all but yet guided with simplicity. It will concentrate on the root of things - rhythm, timing, distance and embrace the ways of attack.. The whole system will concentrate on the fastest and most efficient way. --Bruce Lee (Feb. 1965)
