I might. My collection sits in a box. It's not the new release, 2 core sets, capsules for tokens, the original boxes are gone, and it's all sleeved and organized into a painter box. It's very heavy so shipping would be a killer. I know things are worth as much as I think they are but the trade would need to be something(s) I really, really wanted. If you look at my collection, you'll see what I have.

My problem with this question is that I do not know that much about the details of the various martial arts systems and the differences between them, but I do have a few thoughts all the same:

Dungeons & Dragons as Professional Wrestling! It has the glamor and the glitz, name recognition and splashing advertising, but many consider it to not be a real martial art and unworthy of respect but it is still th one that people think of.

Runequest as Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), trying to rebuild (and build) a system on the foundations of older ways.

I don't know very much about martial arts styles so my ability to use them as metaphors for RPG systems is particularly dubious but I try every question of the day so I'll give it a shot. If my cliched understanding of a particular martial arts system is inaccurate or offensive, you have my apologies beforehand.

Boxing = D&D (most likely to be known by those who don't participate; Straightforward aggressive combat-based)

Kickboxing = Pathfinder (another aggressive striking system clearly based on its predecessor but has some flashier mechanics)

Karate = Call of Cthulhu (a more cerebral alternative to the ones mentioned above; mind and body are both quite important; prone to becoming suddenly deadly)

Kung Fu = Traveller (popular older system that operates quite differently than the most famous examples; has a very devoted following of adherents who know its ins and outs extremely well; peak popularity (in the West at least)' in the 1970s

Judo = Vampire The Masquerade (inverts the typical aggressive combat based RPG system by focusing on more social/interpersonal interactions; flips the script in which players grapple with their own inner monsters)

Taekwando = OSR Games (Old school mechanics with a dynamic style; can unexpectedly hit you with a roundhouse to the head)

Brazilian Ju Jitsu = PbtA games (size and bloat can be a vulnerability to be used against an opponent; a modern reworking of a traditional premise)

We’ve now cleared over 100 items, I think. 20 pages down to 9?

Yeah, writing the synopsis drew my attention for the first time to how similar the core concept is to Gilligan's Island. It's not Suite Life on Deck.

New Synopsis: A mishap turns a relatively short pleasure cruise into a much much much longer one.

Clue: Key characters--captain and crew, the ship's owner, a particularly pushy passenger--endeavor to find a way to get home sooner.
