Jianghu Hustle 32: Asian Martial Arts Jam Panel!
Eric and Eli welcome a whopping SIX special guests, all of whom were involved with the Asian Martial Arts by Asian Creators Jam on Itch.io. Over the course of two panels, we explore the reasons behind the jam, the people who joined it, and of course… the games themselves! The audio is a little more raw then you're used to and there's more swearing in this episode than usual but trust us: the conversation more than makes up for it!
Thanks to all our listeners who submitted questions!

Customer Reviews
The perfect blend...
The show offers a finely-tuned mix of analysis, criticism, and sincere deconstruction of the wuxia genre. It managed to walk all the right lines: deeply respectful of the material without being either didactic or cynical, easy-going without snark or self-indulgence, and a really fine ratio of recap to analysis to practical RPG discussion. It’s clearly modeled heavily after ‘200 a day’, which is a pretty great foundation to start from.
Great for fans of wuxia and newbies alike
Eli Kurtz and Eric Farmer have begun their training for the task of making a tabletop role playing game that captures the excitement and melodrama of wuxia cinema. They approach the topic with both humility and great insight and curiosity. The result is a very enjoyable podcast that somehow manages to be both exhilarating and cerebral. Give it a listen! Episode 10 is a great jumping on point for new listeners.
