I have dedicated myself to better learning the background and rules for L5R going into the next adventure. I realize that it bothered some folks that we were losing some things especially with our spaced out games and needing to refresh ourselves constantly. I'm thinking that I should have time to get through a book or two over the Thanksgiving week to put myself in the better informed camp! Now I'm just faced with getting back into playing a samurai that ISN'T Nikoma-san. It will be a fun challenge! Nah, at first I was a bit hot under the collar because to me you guys missed a lot of obvious things. Then I realized that you guys are playing YOUR Rokugan and not mine, and that's ok. I like your Rokugan too. And besides, I love me some K'Dave, I can't stay mad at you. Just look at that face... d'awwwwwww....

Yeah. SirGuido beat me to it. Anyone who says that you're not playing the setting "correctly" can go fuck themselves. As soon as a group picks up a game, it is their game. No one else has any right to say otherwise.

Yeah I am impressed that Stu and crew took on an established setting like Rokugan. There is just SO much history to it and the "aficionados" can sometimes drive me bonkers. As soon as someone starts telling another group that " X Clan would NEVER do that..." I start reaching for my katana. I get the desire to play in an established IP, there's connection with the setting. But if I run a Rokugani game I would quickly find a way to tear down the carpenters wall, smash some cities, wipe out some clans, and proceed to royally fuck shit up and make it my own. But that's just me, I like knocking over sand castles...

I specifically wouldn't vote Dave's character because of the Scorpion connection. Not knowing the background too well, i have heard that Scorpions are manipulative and strike when the time is right. Who is to say that is not 2-3 generations down the line where they take over a profitable minor clan.
If anyone were to take over, I think it would be Stork's mom. She has the most experience at court and is the still high enough in the family. I can see where Renjiro may call her back to solidify his power base in light of Junichiro's son possibly wanting revenge.
