About damned time we got some gun-fu in this column! I like it!

My playtest game ended up running like a western set to jazz music, like a low-tech Cowboy Bebop, which is just about right
I didn't get to try out my Hac Tao Millionaire, tho. Still looking forward to that...

Man, now you've got me thinking about Kung-Fu Scientists again! First, and Incan space elevator, Hindu monster-hunters, and something for April Fool's Day. Remind me in April

Incan space elevator sounds awesome--does it have anything to do with that Wushu skidoo you did way back at the beginning?
And kung fu scientists sound awWwWsome... the only thing I can think of is the kung-fu calligraphers from HERO. But Steampunk and wuxia seem so opposite on the surface, I'd love to see how you'd combine the two.
FYI - I'm writing some fiction based on Dustbowl Wuxia. I've been posted bits and pieces for public comment, in no particular order. If you'd like to read along, and hopefully provide some valuable feedback, here's the link...
