New Member looking for a New Game

I started that 5e game. You should recieve an invite by email.

I am turning over a few ideas for the first chapter. Which family would your character like to join if you could pick any of the Crab families?

My original idea was that they were Kaiu, based upon the mon. Perhaps they were instead a vassal family, such as Ishi.

No Kaiu will be fine. Did you want to provide the reason your father was run out of the Clan or would you like to leave that to me?

Ooooh, difficult; the trust-a-stranger-on-the-internet game, haha. I'm in, if you want to, go for it.

I will need to do some reading. It will be as honourable a reason for banishment as I can make it though.

I know I would love to give L5R a try.... last time I even read about it was 3E, so might have some catching up... lol

Well the more the merrier as far as I am concerned and this will be my first L5R game. I think the best way to do this will be for everyone to have a short origin chapter before arriving in Crab lands in the first "proper" chapter. I have some ideas for Qralloq based on what they have told me so far. What about yourself? Any ideas jumping out at you?

I’d love to get in on an L5R game. I have a ridiculous amount of ideas for a character that it’ll be hard narrowing things down lol

Sure why not? Ill say Im comfortable with one more person joining. Tell me more about these ideas.

Hey, mcneil5! Great addition.

Ronin + Shadowlands... I can see an Unbroken campaign in the future...

Well that entirely depends on what happens in game :)

Wasn't there a Vassal family specifically created to accept the ronins who succeeded on a 20 goblin winter hunt?

Indeed there was but I found that a bit limiting for players so have happiky binned it.

Just posted a new 5E game... old school flashback for those interested. Ket Onwall's Gigantic Adventure. :)

Man, there are sooo many, the two that most come to mind are a Crane courtier who is making quite a name for himself with his paintings but finds the art utterly boring/unfulfilling but faces pressure from his family/clan to keep excelling at the finer arts or a Dragon Bushi spiritual warrior type....

Okay well for anyone that is interested in my L5R game, I have posted a board here. Just keep in mind that the characters need to start out as Ronin that have decided to take part in the Twenty Goblin Winter. What clan they were before they became Ronin and why they became one, I leave up to you. We will be using 5e rules but since I dont have the rulebook quite yet (I pick it up next week sometime), it will be a couple of weeks before we kick into the game itself.

Sweet! Applied :)

Cool, I have approved you.

@Qralloq: I have sent you an invite to the game mate!
