	I had a very specific style of game in mind: something fast and loose, freeform, with rapid advancement, with player creativity encouraged and opportunities for the players to discover new secrets as the game progressed. I wanted to be able to let imagination run free, without any baggage of established setting or pre-existent "internet wisdom" on "best builds".		I had a very specific style of game in mind: something fast and loose, freeform, with rapid advancement, with player creativity encouraged and opportunities for the players to discover new secrets as the game progressed.

	As to the word '''"Xia"''' itself... Partially this is a reference to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xia_Dynasty Xia Dynasty]], which is the near-legendary period of early Chinese history that may or ~~mat~~ not have actually existed. Partially its a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuxia Wuxia]], the martial literary form of adventure stories popularised in the West by such films as ''Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'' and ''Hero''. This genre gives an idea of the style of the setting - explosive kung fu, devestating chi powers, angst about sword-honour and the spiritual and magical trappings of Chinese mythology.

	But enough talk! This game system is designed simply enough so you can use it however you wish, in whatever kung fu setting you wish! Let's move on!		But enough talk!

	*[[Xia: Wushu Secrets\|Wushu Secrets]] - Martial arts to assist you in kicking ass within physical conflict. Let's face it - this is the main reason you're playing this game. Its probably sensible for most new players to take at least one Wushu Secret at character generation, as a Xia game without wushu battles isn't a Xia game at all.		*[[Xia: Wushu Secrets\|Wushu Secrets]] - Martial arts to assist you in kicking ass within physical conflict.
