    Raising a minor clan to great clan status is a huge hairy deal, so if the PCs are seriously influencing it, rather than simply trying to survive the event, they'll need to be veteran samurai - the 50xp-plus-a-title package, which will give you rank 2 or rank 3 characters who are daimyo, magistrates and so on rather than irrelevant little squits fresh out of gempukku.

    I would definitely suggest - maybe even compel - them to take at least one advantage or disadvantage related to their parent's conduct at winter court. Obvious ones are Blackmail on/Blackmailed by, Sworn Enemy/Ally, Betrothal (if you play The Scroll or the Blade at the same time, Shika Yuki is there as a matchmaker for the original PCs children), Support/Scorn of, and similar.

    I would always generally let my PCs take a choice of heritage rather than a random one.

     

    I was not thinking about Daimyo, but some title like magistrate.

    Hmm, you mean add one advantages or disavantage? Or still with just the base ones, and one of them selected from the "event"?

    I mean, the only “hole” I see there is that Winter’s Embrace is supposed to be what? Winter of 1122? So, playing the parents of the actual characters would put the characters at least in 1142? If your players are okay with that, I don’t see a problem in fixed disadvantages or advantages nor fixed heritage table (in fact, I prefer it this way).

    I was thinking to pu the Winter's Embrance in the past. So no 1122, but much before. And be able to start with the character in the 1123

    If you want to know when events occur relative to each other in time, you can find it here, at my New 5r Timeline.
     

    102 - The Shadow of Glory

    103 - Duty's Cost

     

     

    I was chekingin the Overall Timeline, and the two fiction I left in the quote (Shadow of Glory and Duty cost) are not in that timeline.

    Anyway, very great work

    Hello everyone.

    So my English is really not that good, but I would like to ask some suggestions.

    So I will start a new campaign as GM soon. The campaign will narrate how the Mantis clan (could) become a great clan. The players will be able to choose if and how they can help the Mantis clan or be their antagonist and try to stop their rise.

    My idea is to let the players make their character, but for the first part of the campaign, as a prologue, play their parents or other member of the family during the event of Winters Embrace (so, yeah, play the module). The players will be aware of this, and I will explain that before they will create their characters.

    After that they will start after some time, with the event happened in the Winters Embrace that will influence the story.

    Now my question is: Could it be a good idea to give to the characters one advantages or disadvantages, or choose without letting them roll their Heritage based on what happened in Winters Embrace? And if yes, there are any suggestion (like specific advantages or Heritage)?

    Thank you everyone

    That wouldn't hurt, but there is plenty of possibility of multiple flashbacks in one page, or a story that alternates between flashback and present throughout.  In either case the distinction would be meaningless. I figure if you were really concerned, you can go back and read the story. I may make the stories active links for ease of use at some point though.

     

    I will check and see if I can do.

    How about Gaze Into Darkness? it is also before the timeline?

    These are all examples of one story with a time skip in them mid story.  Since this list that is trying to place each story in a chronological order and assign rough dates as to when things are occurring to establish a timeline for events they have been given major story beats separate entries.

    Hmm, in that case it could be helpful to write the pages of that event?

    Like Court games: Yoshi and Toshimoko last meet (Flashback) - PAG 1 to 3 & Court games: A new edict is made so no laws will be passed until after the Emerald Championship - PAG 3 to 7 (just example)

    hmm, I can't find some novella:

    Court games: Yoshi and Toshimoko last meet (Flashback) & Court games: A new edict is made so no laws will be passed until after the Emerald Championship. I have only the first one, but are you sure that the second does not have another name?

    Heart of the Garden 1: Shahai in the Garden & Heart of the Garden 1: Shahai in the Garden.  I have only the first one, but are you sure that the second does not have another name?

    Repentance Does not come first: Tadaka challenges his Sensei & Repentance Does not come first: Tadaka becomes Elemental Master of Earth.  I have only the first one, but are you sure that the second does not have another name?

     

    Well, always the same problem anyway.

    I love how Sotorii is still being a giant **** like in the original story, and Daisetsu, who is currently "the nice one", is Daigotsu.  I am just waiting for the reveal that Daisetsu is a follower of Fu Leng, and this time around he'll be the one who turns Sotorii into the vessel of the Dark God.

    Or maybe the choose to change everything, and Daisetsu is not a follower.

    Maybe he will see how Rokugan betrayed him and so choose to fight it again. And we have a new faction!

    The difference is that Shameful Display can either honor or dishonor its targets. So, when you choose targets for it, the question "can this ability affect this target?" becomes "can I either honor or dishonor this character?". And when you choose targets for Kiku Matsuri, that question becomes "can I honor this character?". The answer to those questions is different for an honored character.

    "Can I either honor or dishonor this character?" The answer can be yes, but if later I honor a character again, it nullifying the answer. Because in that case the questions would be: "Can I either honor or dishonor it? Yes. So Can I honor it again? No".

    So, you use both Toturi and Chags.

    I found myself to have great time with Crane splash: using Admit Defeat and now The Spear Rushes Forth really helps me to win many conflict, or create problem to other.

    Not totally swarm, but it works very well (for me).

    Just one thing: I really like our Champion, and she helps me with my strategy (take people out of the way). So for now I am still using her.
