I loved the Legend of the Five Rings material and reading the "Way of..." clan books was a true joy (despite the often poor editing). I even read the Clan Wars seven-novel series (as well as The Four Winds series) and I generally don't even like RPG related fiction. Overall it was magnificent, too. So, I bought OA and Rokugan as well as several of the d20/L5R supplements as they were released, but I didn't even recognize the place. It was decades later and all these characters I'd come to enjoy and understand were dead or gone. I understand that the Rokugan metaplot was deterimined by the CCG and often I loved every minute of it (despite the fact that I'd never played the game). Still, it seemed like the slate had been wiped clean and the world was an entirely different place all of the sudden. It wasn't the change that bothered me so much as the gap that didn't feel sufficiently filled. The period in Rokugan between 1134 and 1158 is sketchy at best and all my characters from L5R (circa 1120) are either dead or pushing 60 by the time the d20 version picks up. I rather doubt I'll ever catch up at this rate...and I quite frankly stopped trying years ago. And this makes me sad.  :\</blockquote>
