After the Cthulhu one shot last Saturday (thank you again Siobhan, you were great!) I want to announce the next one-shot: [size=150]Legend of the Five Rings - Legacy of Disaster[/size]
It’s a fairly short one shot set in the world of Rokugan, an Asian themed setting, heavily focused on samurai castes, where honor and etiquette are more important than how much damage you can dish out or how much gold you will loot. There, only the advancement of your clan is important to you, even if it means you have to die for it.You are a samurai after all - which literally means “one who serves”. But not everyone is an idealist, we are human after all…
In this one-shot you will be able to play a bushi (warrior) or a shugenja (priest) from the crab, crane, dragon, lion, mantis, scorpion or unicorn clans.
Who is interested? When do you have time to play? I can offer the 8th, 14th or the 15th of this month.
I can tentatively put us down for the 14-15 (preference on the 15), but Noel just went to bed, so I can’t ask him. The 8th is right out, I have the burger day – excuse me, Democrats Abroad celebrates Independence Day – event.
ok, just found out I have an immigration class to go to on the 14th. So I could play AFTER that (say, 5pm), or Sunday the 15th. Noel will be with me, so that changes his times, too. If enough people want to play on Saturday afternoon, by all means play without us.
I just got off the phone with AmLash. We are looking firmly at 5pm on the 15th. Players who have expressed interest so far are me, Noel, Frazzlerunning, and -H-.
Simon, is it ok if we play without you? If you really want to try this one, we can do something else next weekend.
AmLash says we should look over the clans and pick one, it’s each character not everyone agrees on a clan. Here’s the link again: l5r.com/the-clans/
Shugenjas are the Mage-ish/Cleric-ish class, and he thinks it’s a bad idea to have more than 2. I can tell without looking that I will NOT be interested in playing one, I like classes where I can hit people with things.
He wanted me to stress that if you have ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL you should ask him. I am going to set limits on that, and say he probably just meant questions about the game.
15th, 5pm? Will be a bit late for my taste. (I got a bit of a way home after the game and work on Monday…)
May I tell you tomorrow if I can do that time?
As for character, I’d thought of playing a crab warrior.
I can’t believe I went through all that so carefully and still screwed it up. I cannot brain today.[/quote]
Well, that changes everything. Even the clan my character belongs to.
Cancel that crab, I’m going to be a lion. Still a warrior, but rather to travel the empire of Rokugan than sit on that wall, waiting to be picked by an Oni.
