(IRR) The Rokugan IR (Recruiting Players)

[Sollir Furryfoot]

The semi-recently published Rokugan, Magic of Rokugan, and Creatures of Rokugan are for the DnD 3e system, you may wish to take a look at those.

As for a map, look a few pages near the front, there is one, hope that helps.

Also, you can look at AEG's site for some history and clan letters from. There may be a timeline on that site.

I am hoping all the major clans get taken. As it will make an interesting game. There is a mess of minor clans still available.
Though, you will have to figure out what your doing.

 

[Macbrea]

I would suggest the following be added to the list of available groups. This faction should allow a person to play a whole group without a problem.



Nezumi
Crippled Bone Nezumi Tribe (bezerkers/bushi) PL 30 IR 20
Grasping Paw Nezumi Tribe (rogue) PL 20 IR 25
Tattered Ear Nezumi Tribe (Bushi/rogue/ranger) PL 25 IR 20
Third Whisker Nezumi Tribe (Sorcerors) PL 25 IR 20


Those number could be changed to change the innocent.

But that is the 4 nezumi tribes.

Nezumi should be immune to corruption.

I have a proposed artifact, but I'm not sure if it will be allowed. Just tell me what you think. Basically I want this artifact since the idea of my PC is he is a great warrior, and especially a great general and leader in combat. Thus:

Lord Benjarmons Banner Of The Mantis:

This Banner is worn on Lord Benjarmons back any time he enters a battle. It flares with an inner magic, and projects a symbol of the Mantis above the entire battlefield. Any of the troops under his command that can see the symbol feel a wave of strength, speed and power come over them

The bonus this gives his troops happens any time Lord Benjarmon enters a battle with his troops. If he does not have the Banner, the effect is lost. Furthermore, if the Banner is destroyed or stolen during a battle, his troops suffer penalties for the rest of the battle.

I'd like the item to, as the description states, give a bonus to all the troops in a battle if Lord Benjarmon is present. Just give me something that is an appropiate bonus and I'll use that. This costs 10 PL, and I will be dropping the Sameisa and Buhan Provinces in order to obtain this artifact.

Actually...the ancestral katana's were broken by Shinjo. New Celestrial Katanas were forged for the Clans by the Fortune of Steel.

Why? She pissed that Hitomi kill her father?

There is also the matter of the Test of the Shiba Champion, or is that no more :-( Many, many neat things have been sacrificed into the story, I think the Wish is one of the last few truly amazing things that has not yet been abused by the storyline.

And that's ending as we speak...

Did anyone else who just played the RPG open up the OA map and wonder what the hell it was?

Kuni Wastes behind the Wall, Shiro Shiba not touching Mori Isawa, no way around the other side of the Shininomen, Earthquake fish bay and Dragon Heart Plain all unrecognizeable, the secret path to Shiro Togashi is now a ROAD, no more Beiden Pass, now the Great Crater...

Fortunately, the map in the Rokugan book is sane by comparison, and even fixes issues with earlier maps. Though I fear a hell of a lot of continuity has been sacrificed to the Card Game Gods :-/

 

[Macbrea]

Must make first act as scorpion lord..... get peasant to dig out Beiden pass.

Here is a quick write-up of what the Magic of Rokugan book says about the ancestral swords.

The Celestial Swords
Just before the death of Onnotangu, the Kami Shinjo took the seven ancestral swords of the Great Clans to the heavens with her on her departure from Rokugan. Claiming that the inhabitants of the Empire that warred against her brothers were not worthy of the weapons of her siblings, she threw them up into the heavens to become Kamoko's Constellation.

After the War against the Spirits ended, a weaponsmith by the name of Tsi Xing Guo ascended to the heavens as the Fortune of Steel. At the behest of Lord Sun and Lady Moon, he forged eight Celestial Swords for the Great Clans. Made from the purest steel found in Tengoku, and created to replace the lost ancestral swords of the clans, Tsi Xing Guo gave these swords to the Champions of the Great Clans.

 

[Darkwolf]

Oh well, I'm in...worked some deals to get some previously claimed territory as stated below in Sollir's post.

My Claims:
Kyoso no Oni (Powerful Oni Lord) Exiled to Jigoku, Rokugani Hell, by Daigotsu. PL 2
Shadowlands Horde (Ruled by A variety of Bakemono, Oni and other tainted creatures based in the Shadowlands.) PL 50 : IR 0
Daigotsu's Personal Guard (A group of Oni and other tainted creatures sworn to protecting Daigotsu.) PL 20 : IR 0
Horde of Kyoso no Oni (A Rogue group of Oni, loyal to Kyoso no Oni, and pledged to the destruction of Daigotsu) PL 20 : IR 0
The Festering Pit of Fu Leng (Sinkhole) PL 24 : IR 8
4 Oni Lords (NPCs) 1 PL each : PL 4

Daigotsu freed me from my own personal hell in return for service so I and my personal guard are no longer out for his blood..........

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

I relinquish my bodyguards, the shadowlands horde, and the festering pit to Darkwolf, who will play as my general, for some of the PL missing I will have an artifact similar to that in stature of one from the 3rd IR, which will be 100 PL worth, what exactly, it is, will be decided soon enough.
