>>5338718Actually I have noticed several really well-written quests, I mentioned Local Lord, but the dnd Forgotten Realms quests, the KismetQM Jade Sworn Quest xianxia mmorpg are all really intricate too! I am really impressed by the art effort finding all the pictures, and I am actually very intimidated by all the xianxia mmorpg knowledge lol. Are anons just using some wuxia or xianxia glossaries? Or have you actually all read Zhuangzi and knowledge has entered your minds as quickened mountain-splitting thunder, mounting clouds, riding the sun and moon and rambling the four seas at ease ( 疾雷破山 see end below etc)
I really like glossaries for rpgs. Whether they are Old English Anglo saxon Beowulf, Shakespearean Elizabethan, occult Daoist literature, or even cyberpunk hacking vulns or a database like MITRE ATT&CK

I have already found the typical googl search stuff and those wordpress xianxia blog posts. I wonder if there is some more historical glossary though (referencing say historical texts, not mmorpgs or xianxia novels)
I guess you could also construct wuxia or xianxia magic names from anime or videogame combo moveset names as well, for example the PSX Last Blade fighting game, Bakumatsu Rouman: Gekka no Kenshi gamefaqs movelist is easily adaptable with Chinese characters
