Rokugan group of PC qüestion

Konnichiwa

In a few days i will start like a DM in OA/Rokugan, what is the better to start, anyone makes a PC of a favourite clan and i create a NPC Mastermind (Rokugan CS) of high level that requires the services of the group to make missions; or all PC of the same clan?

Please i need proposals for the group; domo arigato for all.

Of the same clan will work best if you really are going to roleplay the clan politics. A mastermind isn't necessary, just their Lord or someone who is of higher status in their clan is all that is needed. They are sworn to serve, after all. Failure is death.

Ok but what is best for players, they decide the clan, i decide for them or i allow a group of mixed clans?
 

I ran a Rokugan game, and my players created characters from each of the major clans and one from the Brotherhood of Shinsei. The players loved it as each one got involved in the courtly drama from the perspective of their own clans, dealing with courtiers and other members of the small court. They were banded together as the small gathering was taken siege by a tainted Phoenix shugenja trying to kill off several courtiers and samurai of respected noble families.

This allowed the players to truly look at the events through their character's eyes in a much more dramatic fashion. If this is the first time you are DM'ng and your players are playing a Rokugan game, I would recommend doing a mixed clan party first, although your players may want to be all from the same clan and that would work just as well too.
