*Wouldn't you like to buy
a role-playing game and not have to collect all the supplements,
source books, and expansions to have all the rules and information?
Qi: The Universal Cinematic Roleplaying Game
Qi challenges the conventional model of RPG
publishing. It replaces stacks of supplements with online tools
and a support community that responds to players. Scaling opponents
and tracking character development are automatically handled,
saving maintenance time.
Qi [pronounced ChEE] is the Chinese
word for the energy of life. The concept of Qì embodies
all that we want the system to be. A dynamic system that grows
and diversifies as it is played and where those who use the
system can freely exchange ideas. Qì is a role playing
system for the Internet age, always expanding yet easily accessible
for a world of players who have moved beyond the 19th century
tools of the printing press, pen, and paper.
--A. Christopher Chappell (Designer)
Qi focuses on better role-playing and the fastest gameplay
around. With systems for managing reputation, infamy, personal
honor, and character development, Qi inspires character
growth and promotes role play. Skill use is setup to keep a low
profile during gameplay that does not interfere with the acting.
Checking for success is handled by a fast, one test system. The
combat system is instinctive and simultaneous, so even large scale
combats can be handled quickly. Maneuvers and mechanics are designed
to control the flow of combat or stop it before it starts. Grappling
or covering an opponent makes the threat of violence as effective
and dramatic as charging in guns blazing.
Qi is a unique concept in role-playing games. It adapts
to any style, genre, or format using one set of rules for tabletop,
online, and live action. It is can simulate any worlds or settings
with tools that help you create exactly the tone and style you
wish. Qì can change from fantasy to historical to futuristic.
Its modular design is easily modified without unbalancing the
system. Qì keeps the game fair while scaling from realistic
to fantastic.
