[QUOTE="Daiymo, post: 664075, member: 2539"] I'm currently playing a Roku campaign via PbP that been going strong for about a year and a half. I love the setting, which is weird considering its based on a CCG, and influenced by it. But I love that it is low magic, human dominated, and IMHO really encourages roleplaying- theres alot of social customs, manners of honor, and protocol to follow. And with all the clans, there plenty of a political dynamic going on in addition to monster killing. IMHO the main difference between Roku and the standard 3e setting is the goals and motivations of the PC's Theyre not out to adventure just to adventure. Theyre usually out and about at the order of their master, or to right some ancient wrong. They usually following the dictates of honor, not after loot. Dr Strangemonkey really touched on some good points to a campaign: The Special Agency Format, having PCs act as Imperial / Emerald Yoriki or Magistrates is a good way to get memebrs of possibly opposing clans to work together. Conspiracy is always a good stand by. Whether its a traitor in your clan or an external enemy of your liege, plenty of possibilities here. Unusual Clans-I myself play a Unicorn beserker, which is good for a player not too familair with the Rokugan setting. These PCs can get away with a little more on the manners/social customs side of things. There are still quite a bit of old L5R modules and books out there, and they can be quite useful. My FLGS has almost the whole 2ed L5R discounted and still unpurchased. The City of Lies boxed set is very good, from what I can gather.(Our Dm uses it , so Ive sworn not to look at it. I have heard from other sources that it is quite good. Anyway, for some more L5R stuff you may check here. [url]http://www.deathseeker.com/[/url] CCG, fiction, and RPG are all discussed here.
