Re: The Left Hand's Path - Crane Story Paths

I think you will agree that the Crane are at a point where adhering to spirit as well as letter of the Imperial Law has clearly proven ineffective in bringing them closer to the - Dragon occupied! - throne. And as the Daigotsu have conclusively proven, the only language the Iweko understand is bully...

Re: Inauguration of The Legend of the Five Rings Hall of Fam

L5R Staff seems to be missing currently. I'm thinking that those that designed the setting in the first place should definitely have a place in the hall of fame. Off the top of my head:

Re: Shogun

The first time it was a megagame result of an entire season, the second time it was a Gencon prize IIRC.

Re: 2015 Fall Kotei Season: The Embrace of Oblivion

Is this where I post bounties? Because there's a bill burning money in my pockets itching to go into the Kakita-Kae-revenge fund.

$50 for a Crane murderkilling Hida Kozan, to be specific.

Re: 2015 Fall Kotei Season: The Embrace of Oblivion

You know, killing people because reasons is what honorable samurai do sometimes. I am sure the Crane wouldn't just murder them, they would be perfectly justified. Seiken needs a reminder that he can't treat us like he treated Kanpeki, an object lesson in realpolitik, if you like. Call it deterrence,...

Re: 2015 Fall Kotei Season: The Embrace of Oblivion

What's the downside? Will it weaken our connection to the throne? Will it agitate the political gnomes? Again, this is strictly my personal opinion - we need to remind the playerbase at large (and AEG) that this is our sandbox they are letting these kids play in, and that we want that damn shovel ev...

Re: The Bride of the Emperor Storyline Tournament - Crane Bo

Get over it? Never! The mother of every Emperor has to be a Crane. This is the way it should be, you know it is! And yeah, you don't see the Crab and the Phoenix fight over these central elements to their identity the way we have been made to. That's precisely my point. And while I understand that w...

Re: The Bride of the Emperor Storyline Tournament - Crane Bo

That would be the sane position. My position is pretty much holding an insane grudge against the principle of Worfing the Crane by means of prizes. ;) Why should we give up on this as long as the Crab still defend their wall and the Phoenix still have their council? Why not have a tournament around ...

Re: 2015 Fall Kotei Season: The Embrace of Oblivion

Mitohime and Dainagon, agreed. The others are non-entities in fiction, why should we care about them at all? As far as I'm concerned, they only grace the list as corruption bait. But we have this really fun game of Kill, Marry, F... - I mean Kill, Save and Corrupt. Fun! Hida Kozan: Kill (10% chance ...

Re: The Bride of the Emperor Storyline Tournament - Crane Bo

As much as I admire your grace in defeat, I still think the Crane shouldn't have had to compete in this. Now we'll have another story of "yeah, the Crane really wanted this and if they were really as well-connected as they say they would probably have got it, but hey, the Crab beat them in the ...
