Bansho Kishu was summoned to the scene quickly to investigate. What little there was to investigate. Some workmen with confused accounts of Mindra’s actions against some unseen foe. Assuming there was really an enemy and the monkey was not simply playing a joke. Verick found an invisible...

I understand Isiah Thomas has some free time now.;)

As a GM, I tend to take Favored enemy as a hint of what the player wants to see more of.;)

As Mindra fled from the site of the attack, Yukiyo was in another, less reputable part of town when she was approached by a shady looking figure. A young man who glanced around suspiciously to make sure no one was close enough to listen before saying “I understand you’ve been looking for...

I'll give it a try, I'm a huge basketball fan.

Seeing the group’s confusion at his appearance and the name, the aged ratling lifted his staff, pointing it at Hiruma Toshiro “you may have a new name, but the soul never forgets. Yesterday you were Hida Banuken the great leader who defeated the Shadowlands when the great wall was built...

Actually, a flaming/frost weapon I can see plenty of ways to justify. But using the arrows created by Flame Arrow with a Frost bow, IMHO, is a different thing. The arrow is on fire when it's picked up, then shot. When it's fired, frost is imbued into the arrow. I can easily see these effects...

This question came up in my last game. A PC has a bow with the frost effect that adds 1d6. The new flame arrow lets you create 50 arrows with the fire effect that adds 1d6. Technically, by the letter of the rules, this seems to stack, but would you let it? Common sense seems to suggest the...

Though the Black Russian codpiece used in an early Blackadder episode was truly scary.;)

I know AEG's War has some masscombat rules. I think Quint Fighter does as well. I was told Green Ronin has a book with this, but I've not been ablew to find it so far. Any suggestions on other books that might have something for this? I'm looking for something that would let me simulate the...

It happens, with some characters more than others. and in a human only empire, the Vanara and centaur are plain out of luck. But it's generally the fade to black or offstage variety. Much more likely to RP out the romantic bits. Especially when it comes to things like Toshiro allowing the...

The party didn’t retreat far, however. They found the first defensible spot and then the samurai went to work rallying the Crab warriors retreating from the Kaiu Wall. Mir would have helped, but she was busy guiding her panicked thrush out of the wall. It flew from spot to spot in the utter...

I think every group has a few of these. 3 A.M. Plan - A really bad plan. We once ended a game at 3 in the morning with a plan that at the time we thought was great. Picking up next week, none of us could explain why we thought the stupid idea was a good plan at the time. Trolling for Ambush...

And just a fast comment. First up, this went rather well from my point of view. I have some players familiar with the L5R meta plot and I still managed to surprise them by putting them in the middle of the fall of half of the Kaiu Wall. They expected trouble but not that much trouble. I...

Sure, but in a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen way and probably using Hero 5th edition. Not sure if this will be my next campaign or not but it's definitely one of three on my list.

Verick ducked back down to rejoin the party, shaking his head “At least in this area there’s a heavy attack. This is our best route out of the wall, though.” There was a brief conference with all except Mir, who was still trying to guide her thrush out of the wall and back to the group, though...

I wouldn't feel bad, S'mon, you weren't the only one. For me the setting ranged from 'it doesn't work' all the way to 'really annoying'. The characters were ok, but nothing great. A friend recommended it to me, and I really tried watching it, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Personally, I thought Lexx was great fun most of the time. Very weird and quirky. Also very hit and miss, with some truly bad episodes, especially in the final season. On the other hand, Stanley H. Tweedle was a great character and very well acted. One of my favorite sci-fi characters.

On the wall again I just can’t wait to be on the wall again Going out and killing goblins with my friends I can’t wait to be on the wall again On top of the wall, the heat was oppressive, only made tolerable by a strong wind blowing from the Shadowlands side of the wall. Kaiu Hanshi was a...

The party took a week and a half to travel down to Shiro Kaiu and it wasn’t the pleasant trip they had hoped for. Almost the moment they crossed the border into the lands of the Crab Clan they were attacked by bandits. And to the party’s annoyance, the bandits appeared to have no clue who they...
