    I am not even half way through yet and I feel the need to make two points. First, I have been playing since 1st edition and can remember the supplement guides in 2nd edition regarding many subjects and Drow was one of them. I thought these were priceless and still use them today. Second, as a white male in my 50's, I would welcome any person that wants to play the game, just so that I could play again and because I have always found that the more different the players the better the game.

    Definitely prefer the combat and social in the l5r 5e.

    • @TheCrimsonSky
      @TheCrimsonSky 17 днів тому

      I'd agree to disagree. Playing the beta when it was being tested, and then the full version after it came out, I found the strife and success system to be a little too busy. Yes, it let's characters feel usefull in more situations and gives non combat characters a place in combat, but in many ways that isint what L5R is about. That said, it may juat be my bias and familiarity with 4th talking. There are a few things from 5th that I would have loved to cannibalize given the chance.

    • @thetyrantofsyracuse
      @thetyrantofsyracuse 17 днів тому

      @TheCrimsonSky If you get a chance, give it another swing. I haven't noticed it being any more busy than 4th, but 5th does flow a lot quicker both in combat and social checks. (Except when you have unprepared players who don't know what they want to do with their opportunity rolls, but unprepared players are the bane of any rpg) 5th manages to be easier to run, but doesn't sacrifice any of the tension, lethality, or roleplaying that makes every version of L5R a joy to play.

    I think one could still have all the different random encounters and terrains in an urban campaign. A mega city could encompass all the different potentials, and smaller city's could easily have a couple terrain types etcetera. I grew up in the country, have lived in major city's, and many different terrains. A village encounter could translate as a neighborhood, borough, or ethinic territory, or gang or political stronghold (or toe-hold if tenuous?). I've seen city culverts and drainage ditches and fresh water channels and canals the size of rivers. Desert wastes? Sure! Tropic Jungle? Check out parts of San Antonio lol. Jus' sharing random ideas.

    Love L5R but never played it. Thinking of DMing for a group of fellow newbies. Although we have alm read the l5r clan novels, our collective experience is limited to 5e. Is it possible to “adapt” one of the L5R modules to 5e rules? If not (or alternatively) is there a L5R adventure that you would recommend a group like ours begin with?
