Over a thousand years has passed since the Day of Thunder, when the dark Kami Fu Leng was brought low by the seven Thunders. While it has seldom been peaceful, Rokugan has prospered. Now, though, whispers have issued forth; of the decline of the Hantei...of the influence of dark powers on the Empire. For ages before human history began, mortal champions have blunted the evil of Jigoku, and fate has selected you...

Welcome to a recruitment for a Legend of the Five Rings game! Here's all the info you need to get started;

Setting:
The game is set in Rokugan, of course. The year is 1122. Those that are familiar with L5R's history will find this to be an extremely alternate version of the history they might be familiar with!

The game will start in Kyuden Seppun, during winter court. Your characters will be there as members of your clan's entourage, for one reason or another.

Allowed Material:
Any official 4th Edition material.

Character Creation:
Standard, as described in the book. Fluff wise, I would like a background from everybody. It can be as detailed as you like, but at minimum, I expect to know who your character is (and aspires to be) in Samurai society, her views on the Emperor and her views on the Empire.

I will be assigning everyone I select an extra Advantage and Disadvantage that I will base on your background.

I will require at least one shugenja, bushi, and courtier. Clan diversity is preferred. I would prefer no Ronin, but if you really want to play one, send me a PM and we can talk. Monks are perfectly acceptable.

I will be recruiting at least SEVEN players.

Posting Expectations:
I will try to post once a day, but I have a very busy job and personal life so that will not always be possible. Accordingly, I would like you all to be able to post every day, but will understand if sometimes that doesn't happen. If you don't post every day, I will bot you.

Recruitment will run until August 23. I'll be on vacation the 19-22, so will make my final selections that evening.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey all! I'm new to the boards but I'm interested in running a game. I currently have a course of ideas rattling around. I'm thinking of;

An L5R 4th Ed game that's set around the time of the Scorpion Clan Coup but with heavily altered history.

A homebrew sandbox Dungeon World campaign with heavy emphasis on player choice.

A Saga Edition game, likely Clone War era exploring the effects of the war on the players as they go through it.

A Pathfinder Adventure Path, likely Strange Aeons.

A heavily added onto version of the Ragnarok campaign from Scion.

If anyone is interested in ANY of these games, please indicate so here! If I get enough interest, I'll go ahead and put it to a vote.

A bit about me;
I'm 32, a lifetime gamer and GM. I'm not new to PBP but I am new to the Paizo boards. I will post at least once a day and expect the same from others. I'm pretty open to just about any official material though will have preferences with race/class in certain situations.

Hope to game with you all!
