Heh.
I remember the time I had a bad guy martial artist show up against the PC 
martial artist.  I started getting descriptive on the attacks and the 
player, also a Feng Shui fan, picked up with it and rolled with it.
We had missed shots smashing buildings, mid air fists of fury while both 
were leaping from rooftop to rooftop, super slo-mo, glowing hands, all of 
it - even the dreaded Flying Guillotine.

It was a blast, and when it all settled down the other players at the table 
(who had really only ever been of the old school DnD attitude - I roll, I 
hit, I do X damage.  Next turn, I roll, I miss. . . I roll, I hit, I do X 
damage is it dead yet) were just sitting there slack jawed.  The silence 
was broken with a single "daaaammnn. . . "

Feng Shui. . . just such a conceptually beautiful idea.

We tried to find the mayor. His secretary said he was at home. His wife 
said he was at the office. In Italy or France this would mean His Honor was 
having an affair. In Chabarovice it probably meant he'd run off to be a 
busboy in Stuttgart.
