[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 7719008, member: 6776288"] If you're spending more than five minutes discussing what your advantages or threats or despairs or triumphs do, sure, it can get annoying. I've been in a FFG Star Wars game that my group has played in (not every week) for over two years. Usually the GM comes up with the idea of what those do, sometimes we the players ask "Can I have it mean this?" and the GM goes along with that. Granted, three of us have been the core of the group and playing rpgs every Sunday for over a decade so we get usually get back to the game quickly. Yeah, I've been holding out hope that they would be using that system as well. However, all the stuff I saw about the deal between FFG and AEG two years ago kept mentioning the sale of [B][I][U]IP[/U][/I][/B] for Legend of the Five Rings. This would greatly explain why the card game mechanics - while quite similar - are different from what fans knew. If they had acquired the mechanics used for the card game, I'm sure they wouldn't have taken two years get the new product out. Developing, playtesting, and tweaking a whole new system for a card game would explain the two year gap, and I doubt a game company would do all that if they had acquired the mechanics as well; that would be money spent unnecessarily. With that in mind, it would mean that they also didn't acquire the Roll & Keep system for the rpg. While it's nice to see FFG making use of the system present in their Star Wars game (I quite like it) as a generic system, I am strongly against it being used for L5R. It would not have the same feel of impact that combat did in the R&K system. That said, the non-combat stuff in L5R could work well with narrative dice. I'll be sticking with the last iteration of L5R for now and keep Star Wars separate. But if FFG ever puts out an L5R rpg, I'll likely buy it regardless of the system. [/QUOTE]
