Our last L5R campaign started with FFG, then changed to the Rokugan d20 (the 5e version) and finally reverted back to 3e (with bits of 2e Burning Sand converted on the fly)

Im surprised no one mentioned 7th Sea 2e yet. Most RPG have you roll skills and tests as you go along, with consequences happening as the scene unfurls. 7th Sea 2e does it all backwards. The scene is described, along with goals, consequences, and opportunities. Players then decide on an...

There’s a few editions we played and decided to go back to a previous iteration, but oftentimes, some elements of the new edition were kept. For example, we went back to 7th Sea 1st ed but kept the short, curated skill list of 2e. I like TOR 2e as a system but 1e fit the themes better. If I...

On an individual basis, there is little pertinence (until you decide to make the trip). On a macro scale however, our lives are very much linked to Japan and Tokyo even if we're not aware of it, because Tokyo is a place that can be visited, traded with, corresponded with, influenced by, etc...

I have a hard time getting behind this. True, I have never been to Tokyo, and Japan is one of the least familiar cultures for east-coast North Americans like me. All I know of it is from movies, the odd documentaries and articles I've seen and read, and second-hand knowledge from friends who...

Ah crud, I didn't realize I was replying to a four years old post… thanks for the detailed answer though, I’m gonna give it a good look!

raises hand I left Rolemaster about 25 years ago (something standard system?) What are the highlights in changes/updates/evolution of the game?

Nice! That looks good indeed! But yes, you can use anything in there and use it or modify it to your liking: this is clearly fan material and don’t own anything

She never gave a reason, but I assume it wasn’t more profound than something like « Yuck, they’re so hairy! Gross!».

I have three campaigns ongoing, all three in hiatus… Eberron (D&D14): A Girl Genius adaptation in a minimally modified Eberron. Scion of an infamous but powerful family, heir of the current Empire, and most direct descendant of the last king’s lineage are adventuring across Eberron trying to...

added ship record sheet in OP

Thanks for giving it a try! Truth be told, sometimes it works well, sometimes if feels gimmicky. That was indeed the idea. It has a description in the Resting and Healing section now. Streetwise was the intended as "know who's who" skill that would replace Lore. Reading the description of...

Ironic. If it takes years and years, it’s not really dead isn’t it!

Whoa! I didn’t think anyone payed much attention to this, let alone played it! Thanks for your comments. Work is keeping me busy so I want to take the time to properly reply when I have a day off. Which should come soon. Hopefully…
