AEG is pleased to announce that the third Winter Court play-by-forum event will run from late 2012 through early 2013, based on the contemporary storyline and set in the Second City. This will be generally similar in conduct to the two previous Winter Court events, but will also incorporate substantial revisions and changes based on what we've learned from those two preceding events. Further details, including deadlines for submissions of player applications will be forthcoming shortly. Those who wish to apply as Game Masters must complete the GM application and return it to wintercourt@alderac.com by July 1, 2012.

PbP L5R RPGers rejoice! AEG is sponsoring Winter Court again this year!

For those of you who are unfamiliar, it is an official play-by-post event run in a subsection of the AEG forums. The first one took place in Kyuden Otomo during the Khan's March; some players were handed established characters and others brought in their own homebrewed characters. When the game was finished, certain parts made canon, and a few of the homebrew characters became canonical in the setting! The second game had more freedom and took place during the Imperial Wedding in Kyuden Gotei. While the events were not made canon this time around, a bunch of homebrewed characters were made canon in a fiction depicting the wedding.

As someone who played in the previous two games and had a great time, I highly recommend applying for this one when applications go live. I had a blast, and I got to meet a ton of RPGers that I never would have met otherwise. Of course, those games had all the typical pbp shenanigans, but if you don't take the game too seriously that stuff doesn't affect your fun. In any case, I'm looking forward to this one!

When player apps?

Asahina Dreamspoiler · « **Reply #3 on:** June 01, 2012, 06:42:29 PM »

I may app for this! Love RPG, but have never played the L5R one. Anything I need to know to play? Or does experience with pbp suffice?

You'll need to know the L5R rules and character creation (ie. have a rulebook

)

Question to those that have already taken part in older winter court editions: could you please tell me how much time you need to play each day without frustrating other players!!!

Faris Kalin · « **Reply #6 on:** June 02, 2012, 02:11:48 AM »

I may look into this as well. It could be fun.

I'm interested in participating. I'd like to represent the Crane as I am an avid role player, fan of the Crane, and missed the first two Winter Court events.

Please post your questions and comments in the thread at http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=124&t=98221#p1296050 so we have them all in one place. We'll be compiling and answering them there (and they WILL be answered, just be patient!)

Somewhat hesitant since it will be in the colonies...not sure I like that.

Kakita Zekkouken · « **Reply #10 on:** June 02, 2012, 11:07:01 AM »

I hope I can join this. the last two sounded like they were a blast.

It's a great chance for Iweko to get assassinated, and that's what everyone wants, right? lol

Asahina Raido · « **Reply #12 on:** June 03, 2012, 02:51:25 AM »

Very interested

even more so that it isn't 1:1 (even one like me with plenty of spare time finds that concept really frightening

)

Can't wait for the player information to go up. Then i can actually pick a clan to consider

Really interested, but I'm so busy with work... I really hope I can do this, just not sure if I can...

Kakita Aki · « **Reply #14 on:** June 24, 2012, 12:31:59 PM »

I would LOVE to do this! When can we apply? I'd love to have Aki go if I may. Or is it only for the card-players who've signed up for the tournament?
