Hehe :D. I get the feeling that things are going to get very interesting very quickly.

What are the cultural implications in Rokugan about crazy people? Are they revered or reviled?

If Shisumo says it's ok:

Spoiler:

While there are certain clans for which some sort of eugenics wouldn't be at all surprising *cough*Lion*cough*, generally speaking, the mentally infirm are given over to the Brotherhood for care. This is usually out of a combination of respect for one who has been 'touched by the kami,' but also as a way for a respected family to save face.

Though the Dragon Orders do have a reputation for being... eccentric. Especially the Hitomi.


Sorry for my lack of posting over the last few days - had a really busy weekend :(. I'll try to catch up with everything tomorrow.

Shisumo's been having some connectivity issues of late, FYI.

I'm a bit sick right now, and with a lot of work to be done, won't risk really falling ill. Bottom line: me -> bed, instead of sticking around for PbPs tonight.

Hope you start feeling better soon TerraNova!

Get better soon, TN. Trust me, there's been slow posting enough to go around!


At 2:12 AM this morning another potential gamer was brought into the world. Jeremiah Martin (Mini-Arc) was born 9 lbs, mother and baby are doing fine. I won't be around for anywhere from a few days to a week.

WHOA!

That's awesome!

I'll start making room at the table. ;)

Congrats, man!

Wow! Congratulations Arcmagik! Mini-arc would have been a cool name but Jeremiah Martin is much cooler :P

A huge round of applause goes out to your Illustrious DM-Shisumo, who had a module he wrote for Heroes of Rokugan released for play by the campaign.

The module is called 'Border Conflict' and was released for play in early May, after being modified for the current state of the storyline by the Campaign Admin.

UTZ!
UTZ!
UTZ!

If ya'll survive long enough, and ask nicely, perhaps he will run it for you.. ;)

As an aside - are any of you going to be attending GenCon Indy this summer? I know that it is quite a journey for some of you, but one never knows...

Honorable Samurai and pious Shugenja of Rokugan, I bring news of a most unfortunate nature.

Due to continued issues with maintaining a steady internet connection, as well as starting a new job, Shisumo has asked me to let you know that he will be unable to continue GM-ing this game.

If you wish to continue with this adventure, he did give me permission to finish in his stead, and I am willing to step in, if you'll have me.

Please let me know how (or if) you would like to proceed, and I will spend the next couple of days preparing to pick up where Shisumo left off.

Thank you for your time,

Ferret

I am greatly saddened by this news but would be up for continuing (thank you Shiba Utsuro). Tell him congatz on the module from me. I hope things go well for him and maybe he'll return to us someday to run it for us.

:( :( To Shisumo-sama not being able to continue. It was a lot of fun, I'd definitely jump on the chance to play with him again!

I am still interested in continuing Utsuro. I'm sad Shisumo won't be able to continue but uber-excited that you are willing to step up for us! The last module got me hooked on L5R and I needs my fix :P Thanks a lot for the offer!

PS. Great news on getting your module approved Shisumo! I didn't see the news until today.


I see. Very well...good to go!


I am up for it but saddened by the news because that means his LBS games is dead. *sniffle sniffle*


Sad to hear that Shisumo can't continue :(. I wish him the best of luck in his new job though and congrats on his module!

Thanks for offering to take up the mantle, Utsuro! I'd be more than happy to continue if you're up for it :)


Shisumo tells me that Matsu Ume has been having posting issues, so I'll wait until Sunday afternoon (Central time, US) to start the take-ov.. uh.. resuming the game.

Thank you all for your willingness to continue after the unfortunate loss of your glorious leader. You each have shown you are truly Souls of Bushido.

See ya Sunday!

I'm still here, but I've had to cut back on posting massively. I can no longer guarantee my previous track record. If you'll still have me, I'd much like to remain in the game.

No worries, sir!


It has been a time for computer issues. The last few weeks I been struggling with my computer to the point that I have reinstalled windows and linux a good half-dozen times. Things should be getting back to normal, now I only need to figure out what the heck is going on in the game.

Has anyone seen GM-Edonichi around these parts the past few days? Our poor gaming thread is dying a slow, terrible death with no recourse to seppuku! Kakita Megumi is a sad panda :( What should we do?

PS. This is probably just me overreacting because I'm not used to PbP games.

Dark Archive

I am a bit concerned myself. No recent posts anywhere for him. I really enjoy the depth each of you put into your character persona in this game. Lots of awesome roleplaying!

Scarab Sages

/sigh...
yup it's a bummer!

Male Human Commoner 3

I've really been enjoying all the characters in the game also, some great personalities to be found!

Maybe our good GM is having connection issues and the Fortunes will favour him soon? One can hope! I would hate to see our game go down the tubes :(

Well, we got through the Intro Module - by far the longest and most satisfying L5R experience I ever had

Guys - I'm going to kick Ferret and make him get back into gear here. If he can't/doesn't, I won't leave you hanging (again). Remember, a samurai never gives in to despair!

Yay! Kicking around Ferret sounds fun! I mean, err, nothing! I'm a good Samurai.

Hai! Never give up. All you can lose is your life, and you gain to stand with your ancestors.

I really am sorry about the delay, folks. With all the work strangeness, a couple of days turned into a month before I really noticed. Things should be smoother from here on.

No worries, I'm just happy we're back! I loved playing the last module and am enjoying the current one. It's always sad to see a game die out :( so it's good this one didn't! :)

Sovereign Court RPG Superstar 2009 Top 32

Hmm, anything I can do right now? Sorry to be obnoxious, but it's been almost a month of "stumbling through the mist" for me.


Heya gang!

I just wanted to let you all know that I may be slow at posting over the next few days, as I will be running Mods for HoR and PFS at GenCon.

Also, I was wondering if any of you were interested in continuing on with the next module once Treacherous Terrain is complete? At the current rate, I expect to be finishing up in 4-6 weeks.

Scarab Sages

Up for more modules, just wish we gained XP faster...but I know it's a pre-determined xp track.

Sounds like a lot of fun Ferret, I'd be up for more modules once Treacherous Terrain ends. This game has got me hooked on L5R and I think without it I might go into withdrawal or worse!


I am in for more modules. I'd like to get some of them done before I have to eat them in a tabletop campaign I am starting at my local shop.

Dark Archive

I too am interested in continuing. I am very fond of how this group has turned out with all their various conflicts and world views.

I've been feeling a bit as a "fish out of water" for most of this scenario, first trapped in a fog cloud, and now being tested by abilities I just don't have. So I'm a little frustrated right now.

I would be willing to give another scenario a go with Ume, though.


I'd definitely be up for more. :) Hope GenCon goes well!

Hopefully you won't get too frustrated Terra. It might not seem it from the surface but I am looking forward to seeing where Nagatsuna's and Ume's relationship takes them. His skills served him about as well in that damnable fog. Probably in line with Ume's thinking, he is looking for some payback.

Daichi wasn't able to do much good in the fog either. He just sat there calling out "What is happening?" the entire time. So you aren't the only one that couldn't do anything in the fog!

Haha, that fog was bane to all. Remember that you can use Void to minimise the lack of skills for Ume. Be like me, wantonly spend Void left and right until you find yourself in a situation where you really need it but are out :P

Yeah, I am out of void also. Spent it all on just staying standing while unseen adversaries cast spells on me.

Oops, just noticed this now! Sorry. Hmm well you could always do the Crab dance and celebrate good times. Maybe?

Imagina Heihachi's frustrations at the Tournament!! LOL...

At least I got to do something major against the bloodspeaker...that was pretty cool.


Heya Gang. Apologies for PbP Limbo. I've been kinda busy on the work front (Retail + Holidays = fleh). I was also waiting for responses to the previous scene, but hadn't heard from everyone.

Essentially, there is one RP scene left, which I had actually typed up and posted, but apparently Oni-no-Forum ate it (or I messed up the button pressing). As things are running currently, I won't be able to take a second pass at the wrap-up scene until after the first of January.

As this game has kinda been dragging for several months, I am also willing to go ahead and write up a Finale post and award XP and such, so that y'all can take this off your radars, if you wish.

Lemme know,
Ferret

Dark Archive

I am good with the finale wrap up since we have not heard from a few of the others. Somehow I feel like we missed some things during this scenario. Not sure how it was supposed to end up but alot of questions remain.


Sounds fine, I understand the rush.

ALWAYS CTRL+C before you post....after 10 minutes, it's iffy if it's going to post, after 30 minutes you can almost guarantee it's going to be eaten.
