I've been a @makapatag.bsky.social fan for a minute but I wanted to wait until I had some time to set aside to really give this its due. Having finally done so I can say that this, friends, in my professional opinion, might have The Juice more than anything else has ever had The Juice.

the mechanics are semi-simulationist from an NSR perspective (so not deeply rules-heavy) with a kinetic violence system for doing gritty skull-on-pavement high flying kung fu itch: makapatag.itch.io/10000-swords... drivethrurpg: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

despite the technoccultic aesthetic of the setting, 10,000 swords against heaven is still deeply rooted in southeast asian spirituality and esotericism (which itself is interpenetrated by both foreign and immanent beliefs) which shows in the sects inspired by Seasian symbols

pictured here is a photo of Exalted 1e's quickstart. ever since i discovered it a few years ago i'd been obsessed with it. it was a d6 dice pool system w 5 attributes and essence is used to double dice pool. that was it. i love my crunch but this sort of elegance inspired me

hell fucking yeah from 10,000 SWORDS AGAINST HEAVEN makapatag.itch.io/10000-swords...

Ultraviolence Is REAL VIOLENCE. WHILE NORMAL VIOLENCES ARE MEANS-TO-AN-END, IN THE SENSE THAT SOME VIOLENCES ARE DONE TO INSTALL A RULING CLASS, OR TO PRESERVE THE RULING CLASS, OR TO PRESERVE SOME LAWS, ULTRAVIOLENCES ARE PURE VIOLENCES. IT IS VIOLENCE THAT ARISES ONLY WHEN THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE LEFT.

ULTRAVIOLENCE IS VIOLENCE THAT DOES NOT TURN THE WHEEL OF LAW-MAKING AND LAW-PRESERVING. IT IS DESTRUCTIVE, ANNIHILATIVE, AND ATONING.

AS IT IS PURE, SO DOES IT MAKE THE VIOLENCER PURE. AS ULTRAVIOLENCE DESTROYS THE OBJECT, SO DOES IT DESTROY THE SUBJECT.

THE COLONIZED COMMITTING ULTRAVIOLENCE ON THE COLONIZER MUST DESTROY THE VERY INSTITUTION OF COLONIALISM. DESTROYING THE VERY INSTITUTION OF COLONIALISM MEANS THAT WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF THE COLONIZER ALSO MEANS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE COLONIZED.

THE OPPRESSED CLASS COMMITTING
ULTRAVIOLENCE ON THE RULING CLASS MUST DESTROY THE VERY INSTUTITION OF OPPRESSION.

THIS MEANS THAT DESTROYING THE RULING CLASS MEANS ALSO THE DESTRUCTION OF THE OPPRESSED CLASS.

IT IS UNALLOYED, PURE VIOLENCE OUTSIDE OF IDEOLOGY. IT IS THE ONLY SOVEREIGN VIOLENCE BECAUSE IT IS NOT COMPELLED BY LAW OR RESTRICTED BY LAW. IT IS THE TRAUMATIC RUPTURE AND ANNIHILATION OF THE PRESENT STATE OF THINGS.

IT IS THE COMPLETE AND UTTER ABOLISHMENT. THE NEGATION THAT CREATES A NEW SUBJECT.

IT IS BY NECESSITY AND IN ITS NATURE, UNBOUND BY HUMAN MORALITY. A REAL EVENT WHERE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IS CHANGED FOREVER.

ONLY IN ANNIHILATION CAN THE WHEEL BE BROKEN.
