From the introduction:
In this Codex the deep and varied culture(s) and mythology of Ancient China are explored and adapted for gameplay using the Castles and Crusades Siege Engine system. In Chapter One From the Age of Ancestors, the mythical and historical accounts of China’s past are interwoven into a narrative covering the creation of the universe through to the Mongol invasion of China. Chapter Two In the Lands of Legend and Power provides the locales of Chinese myth and history, in which reader and player may situate themselves alike. Chapters Three through Six–Walk Mighty Beasts & Beings Alike, Of Gods Benign & Maleficent Who Gaze Upon All, Enchanted Wizards and Wise Hermits, and Warriors Swift of Limb and Blade – populate this mythic history with gods, beasts, wizards and warriors. Walk Mighty and Of Gods Benign provide extensive lists of the beings of Chinese mythology and should be treated as reference material for the adventurer’s world, whereas Enchanted Wizards and Warriors Swift detail the nature of both physical and supernatural styles of combat, and how they might be used to enrich those most dynamic of gaming moments.
