Description

The second edition of Hong Kong Action Theatre! uses the Tri-Stat System.

In the damage system from Hong Kong Action Theatre!, the margin of success of both attacker and defender determines whether the attack deals 100% damage, 50% damage, or completely misses.

Publication history

The small-press company Event Horizon Productions published Gareth-Michael Skarka's Hong Kong Action Theatre! in 1996. In 2000, Guardians of Order acquired Event Horizon Productions, and published a Tri-Stat conversion of Hong Kong Action Theatre! in 2001, which expanded the Tri-Stat system in ways appropriate for its genre. The White Wolf imprint ArtHaus acquired some of the assets of Guardians or Order during the latter company's 2006 bankruptcy, and held the rights to Hong Kong Action Theatre among other games.
