L5R 5E: Emerald Dreams [ EDIT ]

In Rokugan, it is said that honor is stronger than steel. While even the finest blade can bend and break under the heat of the forge, the Emerald Empire?s society has been folded in the forges of politics and war for more than a thousand years, and it has not yet broken. The society of Rokugan follows a divinely ordered pattern set down by the eight Kami, who shared their celestial blessings with the mortal realm. Rokugan is a land of strict social stratification, where an improper look at the wrong time can mean death.

This is an era of sudden change and upheaval, however. Mortal schemes, natural calamities, and celestial turmoil alike have disrupted the political, military, and spiritual equilibrium of the land. Long-simmering rivalries and fresh betrayals ripple through the courts and on the battlefield. The Chrysanthemum Throne is beset by threats from without and within, and the honor of the seven Great Clans?the families descended from the heroes of legend and sworn to rule their lands in the Emperor's name?shall be put to the test.

This game will be a run through the L5R 5e Beginner Set with everyone playing young samurai competing in the Topaz Championship.

One of the aims of this will be to assess how well the proprietary dice system works in a PbP game but if it goes well I will intend to run things beyond the adventure in the starter set.
