This month, we are bringing to you the tasty " The Chinese Feast", a Hong Kong production from 1995 directed by Tsui Hark. To do so, I am joined by two most excellent guests:

BananaChan, co-author of "Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall" and co-founder of Game and a Curry Games;
Yvonne H. (Sen.H.H.S) freelance TTRPG writer from Taiwan, author of "The Land of Pan-gu 盤古之地" and assistant lore designer for "Cities of Myth (5e): Atlantis Divided".

As usual, we review this film and discuss ways it could inspire tabletop RPG adventures, characters or practices.
