I like running vassal family games, as it gives the players their choice of school within the Clan, whilst giving them a common cause.

I'm introducing a new group to L5R by running a Topaz Championship game for them. It lets them pick from all the Clans, introduces them to the setting and puts a lot of mechanics out there. I've made 3 pre-gens for each Clan for them to choose from. They pick this Friday!

Lion or Unicorn! Judging from the conversations we've had, I suspect there's going to be a Mirumoto, an Isawa and a Shosuro. The other two haven't indicated a preference yet.
I've set up most of the pre-gens with their classic family/school combinations, but I've also slipped in a few surprises, like a Hida Pragmatist, a Daidoji Scout, a Mantis Brawler and an Ikoma Lion's Shadow!

My gang picked their characters for the Topaz Championship today. We have a Shosuro Infiltrator (natch), a Shiba Bushi, an Utaku Battle Maiden and a Kuni Shugenja. I have another player who couldn't make it, but it sounds like he's a Dragon (he's interested in the Kitsuki method).

Where's the Mantis love?! Where it should be... in the toilet.

These words you speak.
They mean one thing.
War.

True, you are warmongers with little ability for much else

We don't start wars, we end them. We are the Lion, the sons and daughters of the kami Akodo. We are not an upstart who begged to be included with the big boys and girls.

I'm running the Topaz Championship for one group, and a second game where the players are Yoritomo vassals. I'm an equal opportunity GM.

Begged? Begged?! Perhaps we should have seen how long you would have actually lasted against the Gaijin without our much needed Navy to turn them back.

A Kuni Shugenja would be frightening.
Hide the children.

As the Topaz gang are all noobs, I created character packs for them. Each pre-gen had a coversheet with the Clan & family Mon, a rundown of the school in question, and the character sheet. I think the Kuni player likes being feared!
