"1 for All" question ...
What level(s) would you approximate our heroes at?
Hard to tell...they definitely using 5th ed rules. But with the use of fireball I would guess 6th

So last night went over to my friend's place and got to be me. It was nice to be myself especially during pride month.
:)
In your vast gaming experience, do smaller parties/player groups lead to better roleplaying?

Most definitely.
Though it is not as important as the quality of the people.
Mom Update: we found out that my has least aggressive version of pulmonary fibrosis. Which means it is probably not fatal...usually it takes a long time to work up so something else tends to kill the person. So she should be around for while yet.
Floyd Update: took him to the vet last Thursday. He has a thyroid issue. He is going on medicine. Fingers crossed...
I am finding that I am falling further and further out of step with the community here. I am seeing this a lot on this thread.
For Example ...
Yikes, some not so great social media stuff coming out of this...
Sorry, the Twitterverse is not reality.
8 guys (all male, all white; mostly middle-aged+) are making a LARP system.
Given who these "8 guys" are, this is a selling point.
So, what's the best way to be BANNED from Paizo?

Having watched the podcast...I tend to agree with the other guys in that thread.
And I am not that easily outraged and detest cancel culture.
If it is that bad for just leave don't get banned.
Though I will miss you :(
So...anymore questions for me?
Okay. I do not recant my words …
But, I may still be wrong … very wrong.
Ernie Gygax's inital statements in the interview were bad. His (Giantlands' Twitter) statements after this interview were far worse. Calling transgender people "Disgusting" is offensive!
Yes, "the Twitterverse is not reality," as the comic, movie, and gaming industries are finding out the hard way. None the less, not being actively "woke" is not a license to be insulting.
As to the "8 guys (all male, all white; mostly middle-aged+)," this is not as much as it sounds. Anyone who did work for the project, at any point, has their name attached to the marketing. For example, Larry Elmore did the artwork being used for the game's cover. Just because he painted a picture on commission does not actually mean he is involved with the project.
So, I hate "cancel culture," and some of the comments on the other thread inflamed my passions (), but …
May I apologize for getting so (out of proportion) upset?

What are the difference between Elf and Gnome Waffles?
I have no idea...must research!
@Lord Fyre: No need to apologize.
The one bad side of knee jerk reactionary statements from Cancel Culture is that people with common sense will automatically dismiss it even if it is deserved or as at least some backing in reality.
It is kind of like the boy who cried wolf situation. Though with a more vicious witch hunting side.

In any event, this new "TSR" is already disintegrating.

We need to move to happier subjects.

We could talk movies, TV shows, novels, etc.
I am playing a L5R game with the assets from V-Space which has been fun and I get to play my character without GM douchebaggery...love to talk about that...
RPG stuff always....

Do you have a favorite Disney Princess?
UPDATE:I should have searched before asking …

What is "V-Space"?

I don't know. That kind of got me into trouble.

@Lord Fyre:
1) Elsa
2) V-Space is the gaming community thing my friend started where I got victimized in that L5R game and ignored when I complained about it.
Realizing also autocorrect might have made that confusing...replace 'assets' with 'away'.
A friend from there wanted to learn how to GM so I created a discord channel to teach him. He is currently running a L5R game bi-weekly on Sats. I am playing the same character (with slight alterations) without a GMs being a dick.
He has run one session which he did a very good job considering it was his first time.

I can feel the sense of relief even through your typing.
Yes it is definitely a plus in my life.

No problem. This wasn't meant to be stressful. :)
Speaking about stress...
I was stuck in traffic for 2 hours yesterday on my way home from work due Elsa(tropical storm).
Rt 17 was a flooded parking lot. I have gotten home in blizzard conditions faster.
But I did see Black Widow in the movie theater. Ot is a great movie(in full disclosure though I an a MCU fangirl).
My only complaint is I like the comic book version of Taskmaster better. Though what they did make sense within the movie.
Also it looses some dramatic stakes because it takes place in the past.

Okay so as promised here is the info about My L5R character.
Bayushi Amieko is a Scorpion clan samurai who is a bushi/shinobi. Her duties is to gather information for the clan and make allies...and deal with threats to the Empire and clan.
She is also a Emerald Magistrate. Which is a law enforcement body severing the Empire directly (think FBI).
Her duties often has her to do things that are dishonorable and bad. She is okay with Doing bad things to bad people but still it can weigh on her. So she will help people if she can to counter balance it. Her compassion which is one of her strongest virtues also helps.
She suffers from feeling of loneliness so she often cherishes those she would call friends and lovers going to great lengths to protect them.
She is blessed with great beauty and will use it to her advantages. She also loves designing fashions for herself which she usually challenges traditions. Though she also loves designing for others and design to suit their personality trying to bring out their best.

That is just a snippet what I could write about her. I tend to go to great depth with my characters so if there is any questions feel free to ask...
So anymore questions for me about anything?

One can tell that the writers really wanted to do more then imply, but that would have caused Frozen II to be banned in China and several other important markets. :(

L5R 5th edition was made to be inclusive.
How can any "game system/setting" be inclusive?
Based on both your recent experience, and some posts elsewhere on these boards, any table is exactly as inclusive as the participants want it to be and no more.

A game system can be inclusive by not having Stat caps based on gender(1st Ed D&D)
L5R became more inclusive by calling out same sex marriages happen in the setting. A lot gamers will say it not allow due there being no children thus no heirs...so they don't happen BS. When there is a lot more behind marriages than that.
And very true it depends who you play with. But it is nice to get some support.
And wow that is a old thread...
How much magic is in L5R, and how is it viewed in-game?

How much magic is in L5R, and how is it viewed in-game?
It would be considered a low type setting.
With magic items being rare (like you might get one)
There is two different main types of magic.
1) is magic from the kami which is what available to the PCs. It is priestly in nature and looked upon favorably.
2) than there is maho-tsuki...aka blood magic which is a evil magic. And generally feared and outlawed.
And wow that is a old thread...
But does that invalidate my point?

Nope, but it does not invalidate my point that system and setting can support a more accepting game.
Anymore questions for this wonderful hostess that is me?

What are the limits and capabilities of both?
