[L5R 4e] Running a game inspired by Ghost of Tsushima
I'm pretty excited to be running an L5R game this week. And as the thread title says, I'm basing it at least loosely on the plot of Ghost of Tsushima. In this particular case, instead of an island, the players are all ronin samurai living in a remote province (I'm using a modified version of...- Thread

Legends of the Five Rings- 4e vs 5e? Or two great tastes that go together?
I'm hearing some interesting things about the newer edition, but I'm kinda in love with 4e, at least from a sheer reading perspective. Do the 5e mechanics lend themselves to any 4e source material? I hear the Imperial Histories are good for it due their focus more on fluff and flavor than...- Thread

L5r 4th Edition Character Creation Free
Hello everyone
That's been a while since the last time I posted here .
I plan to run an emerald magistrates campaign next year. But as this kind of campaign is a classic L5R So.. I admit I never run one before ^^.
So i wonder if newly created characters can be Emerald Magistrates just after character creation or should they begin yorikis then becomes magistrates ?
Second question: i have poured over Imperial Histories 1 and 2 to find the most interesting era to play Emerald Magistrates, what's your take on it ?
