Legend of the Five Rings: Imperials Histories Volume I & II

There was a stretch of time when Fantasy Flight Games dominated my playtime. Over a course of time between 2014 and 2020, I believe I was almost continually involved with a campaign involving one of their games, whether it be Dark Heresy, their version of the Star Wars RPG and the core system of Genesys that they spun out of it. And bluntly, I love the more dynamic storytelling that comes from the novel dice systems that FFG developed. So when a Beginner’s Box of Legend of the Five Rings came out for a oneshot, and I saw a Phoenix character sheet I was immediately back to that teenager in the comic store and I knew I had to play it. And right around that time, I was introduced to a play by post group that was playing in a setting I hadn’t heard of, and that has now been six plus years of playing in different shortform L5R campaigns.

Are we in the 1000 years of thunder? #L5RRPG
It's no secret I'm so tired of hackneyed #Dungeons, #Dragons and silly #TTRPG ( #ActualPlays - like #CriticalRole ). I steer well clear of them! IIRC, #Oneshot used to offer some great #L5RRPG #podcasts. #Stories&Lies now offers #DeltaGreen 's #GodsTeeth#horror without bullshit so far! Exciting!

#ChildrenoftheFiveWinds for the #L5RRPG has been released finally?! Great cover! For lunch, there is a glass noodle salad and ramen as well as unsweetened green tea. #L5R #Rokugan #ttrpg
#JohnWick, #L5RRPG #7thSea etc., remains one of the most exciting #ttrpg designers. He deals with the #Daggerheart scene hype, the #Fear problem, in a correspondingly thoughtful way. But he also offers a solution. Fear reminds me of #MutantChronicles #2D20 Doom, which did not work with munchkins.

#JohnWick, #L5RRPG / #7thSea etc., explains nicely the basic #ttrpg #drama / #adventure #formula: protagonists x obstacles x goals Those who don’t grasp this principle can rot in #dungeons next to their #dragons… Just slaughtering and robbing monsters is usually so boring 70/80s. #DnD #OSR

Der beste…? Don’t know, aber #ttrpg mit #ExplodingDice bringen eine wunderbare Unwucht an den Spieltisch! Beispiele: Tunnels & Trolls #Earthdawn #L5RRPG
