The first featured One-Shot will be based on L5R Rokugani mythos, and players will be dropped in the middle of the Shadowlands with three NPCs, a tattooed monk, a Kuni witch hunter, and a Moto avenger. The current mission at hand, which all PCs are a part of, is a deep recon in Shadowlands territory. Your job is to identify the flora and fauna, significant terrain changes, and possibly even pick up on Shadow plots.
Ideal spread of PCs = 3-5. I may accept only 2, but not 6+.
This game will also be a demonstration on how to set up One-Shots for ambitious gamers who want to give it a try (hint, hint).
For this game, my recommendation is that you make your character based on yourself and not based on stats/abilities/whatever. I promise you that this one-shot will be survivable and you won't need to munchkin all five of your levels.
Provisions will definitely include several fingers of jade apiece as well as sufficient food and drink for a two-week journey. PCs may choose from PH1 & 2 for their classes, feats, etc. Though they may look through my L5R books if they wish. I will try to make them available, but you will most likely need to contact me on Wednesdays. Most of the things offered in these books will be out of your reach at 5th level, but if you need inspiration for your storyline or mode of combat, it may help.
I will offer up my books for all of Wednesday 22nd for character-making. Classes that will simply not make sense include: Druid/Ranger, Wizards/Spelltheives (see Wu Gen), Bards (see Courtier), Paladins. Extra classes include Samurai, Shugenja, and Ninja (L5R style).
Well, that should be enough for people to get started. Best 'o' luck!
