    What do you mean lost license for the mechanic?

    The mechanics for this game most closely resembled the Game of Thrones Board Game, which is also FFG's. As L5R LCG content continues to pump out it's pretty clear they still have the L5R license. I'd venture it was most likely cancelled based on money.

    I think "yes" is a safe bet. It is still available through sites like Amazon for relatively cheap. I got to play it once at the full 5-player count and if you can make that happen I would say it is worth it. Even smaller player number games will be fun. Some of us were hoping for an expansion to boost the player count to 7 plus who knows what else but I think it's safe to say that will not be happening.

    I was hoping for a add-on too. That's sad 😕

    I am not familiar with roll20 that much. I tried GMing my campaign there but in the end gave up and I am just using discord with the L5R bot. I don’t think a compendium will ever exist because that would need approval from Edge Studio or Asmodée or roll20 could be considered in breach of copyright. And finally, considering how their digital footprint is lacking I would not hold my breath if I were you.

    Seems like Excel will be usefull for very long time and I already know how I should improve my DataBase

    There is a L5R bot ?

    I tried GMing the game on roll 20 with friends lately.

    I found a character sheet for 5ed I was wondering if it was an official one or some kind. The NPC version lacks the possibility to roll as GM (every roll is public) and I think that a compendium would be welcome or Roll 20. Do you know if there is or will be something official for Roll20 ? I have my own Excel that references where I can find dis/advantages and techniques but it is a bit limited ^^

    Take care

    Hello,
    I was wondering what kind of source do you use in order to name your characters. On my side I use the 3rd edition list of name, but there must be a more complete source ?
    FFG Fortunes might provide this one day, do they ? 🙏

     

     

    I know there is also a web site that can generate those names ( and for multiple univers top)

    On Shadowlands it seems like the Crabe is open to any innovative way to repeal threat from beyond the wall. I would not be surprised that some prototype canon might be used against big Oni. However, since that Shadowlands forces are not just brainless armies, I guess that using it against them would mean that at some point it could fall in the hand of Shadowlands forces and might be an event bigger danger to Crab forces.

     

    The actual setting sounds different from previous one and I would not be surprised to discover that Firearms weaponry is already in use in Rokugan, maybe in an experimental scale. However, since the Emerald Empire is a highly spiritual society I can imagine how blasphemous and unhonourable it would be to just gun down an holy shugenja.

     

    The Idea of every one having a firearm is more of a modern concept. Especially in the US (where L5R comes from). Black powder weapon can be kept as a nobility symbol and forbidden to heimin population. FFG's Rokugan sounds more like smart pragmatic than obtuse conservative from AEG.

     

    Anyway, as far as I am concerned L5R with guns is no longer L5R. And remember that being over the top with technologies is a choice so is to be contempt with what you already have (and Hotei would be contempt with that :3 )
