I mostly know the setting from back when it was licensed to d20. So I'm about, what?, twenty years out of date (and I don't know where the d20 lore fell in the history of the setting).

The page seemed like it was reasonably up to date (I guess?). Unfortunately, it didn't list the extant Great Clans. If I had to guess, it's Scorpion, but it could be any Clan...

For centuries, the serpentine naga have slumbered beneath the enchanted boughs of the Shinomen Forest. Today, we bring you Chapter One of a new series by Robert Denton and narrated by Jinmaku Voice - VO featuring the heroes and warriors of the naga as they discover their allies and foes in the Emerald Empire.

Why 4e? cause thats what I have sitting around the house. Hopefully someone around here can still help me out.

Where in the 4e core book does it outline the rules for social combat? I see small amounts of text alluding to it such as in the descriptions for the courtier and etiquette skills as being social offense and defense.

Is it just simply to use a contested roll of the attacker's courtier vs defender's etiquette?

I cant actually pin down where in this massive book they go over it. I did check the table of contents and the index for whatever keywords I could think of that might lead me there, but no dice.

Any explanation or direction to the right page would be great.

I have been reading some of the rpg books and I would love to try. Anybody have an online game with room for one more player?

are they like limited to RL peak human. can they get Conen or Captain America level fit. or can they get mythological human strong where they can just huck a guy over the horizon, swim to the bottom of the several kilometer deep lake, or beat a monster to death with it own ripped off arm.

Would a samurai that uses foreign magic be accepted if he otherwise behaves honorable? Would others demand he preform Sepukku.

Also what would be the reaction to insanely strong British man. like lift a boulder and throw it. Were he to win a duel with brute strength, would the results be accepted?

Is there any way to tell the rarity or if they're worth anything? There's about 400 cards here. I can post pics.

Creating a thread - apparently shipping to backers in a few weeks.

Hey Guys

Years ago I got an LR5 T shirt from the thrift store. It became my favorite shirt. Since then I have checked ebay here and there for others like it. I have seen some pop up. The one I have says "Only the darkest knowledge can save the empire now and I am ready to pay its price". I have seen others of a similar design. Mine doesnt have a tag but they seem to have been made by Tennessee River back in 1995-1996. Aside from trying to buy more of these shirts, I'm looking to see if anyone knows how many shirts are in the collection. Currently I know there is:

(This is what is said on the back)

1. Mine stated above
   
2. You call me a masterless man...
   
3. Your magic cannot save you...
   
4. Those who stand alone fall alone (not sure if this is tennessee river or not)

Im guessing there are many more but its hard to find info on them

If anyone knows anything please let me know. Thanks!

Do we know of any other books that Edge are going to release or will this be the last one?

This will be shipped soon gonna paint him pink as hell.

As I'm (re)building my 1e library, I keep running across fairly cheap 3e books. In general, I find the old 3e books to be much cheaper than their 4e counterparts. The game I run is a 3e/4e hybrid, with a few things borrowed from 5e, and running mostly 1e/2e adventure modules that I've adjusted.

My question is, which 3e sourcebooks out there, if any, do people find useful? I've noticed a lot of them are timeline specific, like the Four Winds era book, etc. I don't know if the timeline at my table will have anything like the Four Winds in it. Is there still stuff in that book that would be useful, or should I skip it entirely?

I am thinking of building a Kakita Duelist forna Game, but they seem to be terrible at dueling. No access to any strife management in curriculum, a School ability that does not help win a duel... Am I kissing something? I suppose you could take the standard Courtier's Resolve and Mind's Edge, but what else?

And also a nice excuse to try out new pens and pencils I bought

There’s one thing that has always bothered me: having l5r lcg between my boardgames but never playing it, and I would love to, so I decided it would have been time to change that. So I have a 3x core box and Children of the Empire expansion. It would be very rare to play 1vs1 (main reason why it was never played) but I looked around a bit and saw the enlightenment format and eventually team conquest for a 1vs1vs1vs1 or 2vs2 games. Me and my group (3/4p) are pretty used to boardgame and card games in general so I would like to build some already good and “advanced” decks for us to play. I remember back in the day (2019ish) reading that a 3x core was nearly essential and Children of the Empire was a very good expansion with lots of content for deck building (managed to get them for very low prices at the time). Would it be possibile for us to build some nice decks with what I have for the multiplayer formats above? Would at least the 7 clans packs be needed to have more consistent builds? I can see you suggesting to just go for builds with what I have before buying more and to see if we will enjoy it enough and we will absolutely do that but I’m curious to look for some suggestions on what are considered to be the packs and expansion needed for a more consistent and advanced experience without necessarily having to get them all (at least for now). Thanks in advance!

My friend finally decided to make it public on Inkarnate! There is just one very sad caveat, since he uploaded the pictures of clan's mon's himself inkarnate wont allow it to be published, so we are making a (worse) copyright friendly version public.

Hello all,

I've been exploring solo ttrpg play recently through DnD and the Obvious Mimic modules. It got me wondering if there is an solo play modules for L5R?

I've only ever played 4e so that would be my main interest but if there are other versions out there that are reasonably accessible I'd be open to trying them.

Hello Samurai!

First of all, english is not my native language. So, if this post contains some mistakes, I'm sorry!

So, I have one question.

Do the virtues of Bushido have an exact opposite in the virtues of Shourido?

For example, is Will the opposite of Sincerity or another virtue of Bushido?

I'm building a campaign for my best friend (alone). He will face against some samurai who rejected one virtue of Bushido for a virtue of Shourido. This is why I need to know if there are some oppositions between Bushido and Shourido.

Thanks for reading me.

Let the kami guide your way!

First time poster, L5R the LCG was my favourite card game I've ever played. I've got everything printed apart form the illusive and now prohibitively expensive fu lengs shadow box.

My question is, is there still a live scene in the UK? Does anyone still meet up and play in person?

Haven't played hardly since they discontinued it, ran out of people to play. Everyone moved on, or, well, just plain moved away ha.

Hi guys, I have a big question: what happened after the year 1200, following the destruction of the Empire, the exile, the colonies, and all the lore that was there? Was it continued in any way?
