[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9251755, member: 4534"] I honestly don't remember what happened to it. But I no longer own it nor the many, many splat books I purchased for 1st edition L5R. I don't remember specifically what I didn't like about 2nd edition because it's been more than twenty years since I last read it. From what I can remember, they changed the way the roll and keep method worked in regards to attributes and skills. Third edition wasn't horrible, but there were some balance issues and I remember banning a minor clan's archery school because it was too good. But I could dust it off and use it again. I don't think I ever owned fourth edition, I thought the AEG version was 4th, but it turns out it's 5th. And for 5th edition the rules for using skills are a bit odd. Depending on how you're trying to hit someone with your katana you might use your Water, Earth, or Fire ring when rolling to hit. Plus, it might not be that there's anything wrong with L5R. It might be nice to have a game with a different setting. [/QUOTE]
