Beyond the Gates of Kunlun
A role-playing game of cultivation and the Strange.
You are a Seeker, awakened to the Strange — the guài that moves beneath the surface of the world.
Your path is cultivation: refining body, energy, and spirit, one trial at a time. Every choice marks your soul, drawing you toward clarity and immortality — or toward corruption, and something else.
A world drawn from Taoist and Buddhist tradition: mystical, gothic, morally uncertain. You'll cross haunted temples, forgotten tombs, and fractured realms, and meet the Strange in each.
There is more to reality than we know. Always more.
One game. Two ways through the gate.
The tabletop game
Pen, paper, and dice — built to be run at your table.
The living game
Kunlun as a living world, run by AI. The same rules as the table, the whole game underneath — say what you do, and the world answers.
Dragon Gate Studio is a small group, building this now.
Its founder is a scholar-practitioner in the Dragon Gate lineage of Daoism — the tradition the game grows from.
