Rokugan D20 Discussion (RECRUITING & OOC Thread)

[Tokiwong]

Here are a few questions that came off the top of my head.
Any possiblity of Scorpion involvement?
Are you looking to run a action adventure (Seven Samurai), a politics/intrigue game (Throne of Blood/Ran), or a mixture of the two (Hidden Fortress) type game. As you can tell, I love samurai movies!

More of a good blend, with politicking, and intrigue, and action, when it is needed, not so much Scoprion, want to keep it between the Unicorn, Crab, and Mantis, and mainly Crab and Mantis characters, Scorpion may be sued later on, as foe or friend...

I would be very interested in joining, however there are three caveats:

1. I've no experience with PbP-games, as this would be my first.

2. No prior experience with Rokugan, though I've access to the main Rokugan book and I read fast.

3. I'm german, thus english isn't my native language.


If you are still willing to put up with me, I would like to play a human samurai, possibly working towards the PrC Iaijutsu Master.

1. That is fine, we all have to start somewhere, once we get a group together, we can figure how often to post.

2. I suggest reading then, knowledge can only benefit you, the player, and it is a great setting.

3. I have a player who is german, I can handle him, i can handle you, just take your time, and I am sure I will understand.

The PrC sounds fine, but keep in mind the characters will be Crab, Mantis, and possibly Unicorn, though a Ronin could possibly achieve the PrC if they can impress the Crane, a hard feat in and of itself

If you want to stay focused on Crab and Mantis, I'd be a Yasuki. Otherwise, Unicorn is my favorite clan, and I'd be more than happy to play a Iuchi Shugenja or an Ide Courtier.
Decide as you see fit.

Douane, I'm italian and I thought language was an issue at first, but with a little practice you'll have no problem. If you're knew to Rokugan (and you read fast ) be sure to check out the History of Rokugan (that you can find e.g. here) so you'll get into feeling of the setting. We'll play at the beginning of the fifth part.

 

[Tokiwong]

Yasuki would sound cool, so far we have a Tentative Courtier, not sure of clan, a Shugenja of the Unicorn would be cool, and well an outlander, though I would like a more Rokugan based game depends on the players, if they don't mind then we go with it

Oops, should have read the description of the PrC before posting, instead of relying on my memories of reading through the OA book.

As this is out, perhaps a Kaiu Samurai of Clan Crab, mainly wielding a naginata?
[Originally, I had thought of a Toritaka Fighter, aiming at the Kensai PrC, also with a naginata.]

Thanks for the encouragement and the reading recommendation! Hmm, a lot of stuff, even for my fast reading skills; perhaps I should persuade my professor to postpone my exams.

Sounds good to me, a Kaiu samurai would be cool

 

[Lichtenhart]

Tokiwong your new avatar is too cool! Samurai Jack rocks!

 

[GWolf]

I am playing as a martial artist monk ala bruce lee or something similar.

 

[Yellow Sign]

Humm, decisions, decisions.
Tokiwong help me out. I want to play a more traditional samurai but I am having a hard time finding one in the Crab, Mantis, and Unicorn clans. We already have a Crab samurai and the Mantis all seem to look down on using the daisho, and Unicorn samurai tend to be battle maiden types. I am leaning towards either a Tsuruschi archer/samurai or a ronin. What do you think? I would not mind playing a Mantis but I want to use the daisho and that would run against the grain with the Mantis.
