I don't know how long ago a Legend of the 5 Rings thread was made. So here one is.The 30 Year Celebration: https://www.licenseglobal.com/entertainment/-legend-of-the-five-rings-celebrates-30-yearsThe Unicorn supplement Children of the Five Winds has been released! They're also working on some new games since apparently the River of Gold boardgame did very well.They're currently working on the Scorpion supplement book. (No news at the moment)Site: https://www.legendofthefiverings.com/ Is anyone in any campaigns? How are the cardgames? I've been running my group for years. They're now closing in on the Hiruma Castle "arc" and potentially the end of the game. They just have to deal with the issue of the Knotted Tail nezumi first. My Doji character also needs to figure out how to get his family's ancestral armor back from said tribe. He doesn't yet realize it's a nemuranai. Thread question: The Unicorn Daimyo's youngest son, Shinjo Shono, returns to Rokugan with his new Quamarist bride, Saadiyah. You and your party are somehow put in charge of the celebration. What do you do? Will you try to ruin it for them? Would you want to properly support them? How would you provide security?
>>97902272I've been reading a lot about l5r lately, it seems cool as fuck but I don't think I could ever get either of my groups into the samurai mindset.
>>97902272I hope the Scopion book gets done.It would be the end of the game line either war but it sucks a good version ends because EDGE went through a buy out.
I'm the anon who posted his story in what I think was the last thread, I can post it again if there's interest, but honestly I think it's better not, it's not that great and doesn't deserve to become some posting ritual every time there's a thread.Anyway, >Is anyone in any campaigns?To my surprise, yes. After a rather long hiatus we started playing again and are now 3 sessions in. I was planning on running exalted, but I had to wait for some books to arrive and we had some new blood in the group, so in order not to overwhelm the new players and start playing right away L5R was quickly mentioned. 5e is rather good to start because the action flows well and the system is rather simple, so I jumped at the opportunity.I already had hooks for the future from the end of the previous campaign so it was quite easy to get it all down, I spent most of my "prep" time studying rules to refresh my memory, and now basically run with little to no prep.I can put together a summary if anyone is interested.
>>97902548I don’t see a reason not to. I’m doing a solo game myself, and still personally hoping to run a group game in the future with my friends.
>>97902364Doing the voice is key.
>>97902576I will start working on it, it's also a chance to rework my session notes. For now the quick summary is:>first campaign starts at funeral of the lord's firstborn>stranger from the mainland arrives>the lord wants his only son left back but he is hostage of the rival family>rivalry has been going on for a while, imperial court wants it to end>marriage is proposed and arranged>future bride is not that happy, wants a duel, wins, but still accepts the marriage to honor her father>now one of the pcs is technically daimyo but has the two fathers in law still "counselling"The second campaign >stranger from the mainland introduces one of his shinobi assistants, saying he's going back to the mainland and leaving her here as a test>start at the docks, pcs have been called to check on an unidentified crate>shugenjas explicitly called, so the other new player is involved>turns out there's something going on with the monks, will explain better>oni are roaming inside the forest, a kirin must be foundThe players wanted more supernatural stuff compared to the diplomacy and intrigue or mortals of the first one, and boy am I gonna give it to them.
