I don't think it's a secret that I love Feng Shui. It's one of the most fun and mechanically simple RPGs out there. I was very excited to see this file tweeted by Atlas Games this morning. The Dragon's Heirs. This is a free PDF that compiles all of the different Archtypes that have been published over the years for Feng Shui. Not only does it gather them in one place it also presents them in a rather nice summary format. atlas-games.com/pdf_storage/FSDragonsHeirs.pdf

Thank you for making the file! It's been a bit since I have delved into the Secret War but the next time I run a game there I will definately be using this file!

Thanks for making a mention of the file and the kind words. Although I did it for free and certainly didn't do it by myself, it is nice to see one's own name attached to something associated with a product that is "up there", even if it is still recognized as a fan work - still, Atlas had me put THEIR copyright on it, so essentially myself and my collaborator wrote a PDF for them for free, which they own; but for no more than it is, and the first-time experience, I consider it well worth it.
I never got into the Secret War stuff myself - I just wanted to compile a list of all the types I found, official and fan-made, and actually started off with that, and have the non-Atlas types sitting, if I ever decide to have a second go and do the fan version, as I already got permission from basically everyone that ever created a type that you can currently find on the net.
I just enjoyed the over the top capability of FS characters, the fast pace, the super-competence of being able to make 3-5 attacks on average per turn, etc.
PS - I hope it was ok to make an account here even though I'm in Oklahoma, nowhere near Canada or Michigan.

Welcome to the WGR officially Jason.
We focus on gamers in the Windsor/Detroit area but aren't exclusive to them so you are more then welcome here.
I actually really dug the time travel and secret war aspect of Feng Shui. It was great springing that on a group of players the first time who thought they were playing a Modern RPG and had no idea the full scope of the game. I actually see it as pretty much a Generic System where you can run almost anything.
