It's possible that these have been posted elsewhere (and if so I apologize for the duplication), but anyone running an L5R game should have access to the Challenge,Focus,Strike Plot-Hook Anthologies. Originally written by a long-time player of the game for use in his weekly campaigns, Scott Stockton posted his Plot-Hooks on the L5R community forum where they were refined and added to by suggestions from other veterans of the game. These forum threads were later collected and anthologized by a fellow forum-goer for easy reference by GMs. Each Hook is broken down into three parts: the Challenge (setup information, including suggested names and locations), the Focus (which explains the conflict or problem that the PCs will be expected to face and solve) and the Strike (which reveals the secrets behind each plots, and suggests twists or unexpected angles the GM can take to make the adventure more exciting). These documents are a fantastic resource for L5R players specifically, but also for GMs in general. I highly, highly recommend them. Volume 1: www.kazenoshiro.com/forge/4/Adventure-%20Challenge,%20Focus,%20Strike!%20Volume%20I.pdf Volume 2: www.kazenoshiro.com/forge/4/Adventure-%20Challenge,%20Focus,%20Strike!%20Volume%20II.pdf Volume 3: www.kazenoshiro.com/forge/4/Adventure-%20Challenge,%20Focus,%20Strike!%20Volume%20III.pdf Volume 4: www.kazenoshiro.com/forge/4/Adventure-%20Challenge,%20Focus,%20Strike!%20Volume%20IV.pdf

They really are.
(I especially like the holiday-themed events he includes, both for Western and Japanese holidays.)

I, personally, like Musha Shugyo. Lots of great info. Also, I was a writer and editor.

I haven't read these yet. I'll do so as soon as I get a few moments.
(Which is a little surprising actually, since I know at least a couple of people on that staff list. People are holding out on me!)
