Who's up for L5R? I hear there's a new edition brewing, but why wait? I'm looking for any number of players, and preferably a GM, for a game set in cannon Rokugan, timeline currently undetermined.
Applications should include:
If we don't find a GM, we can try something I've been planning for a while (ten minutes or so, now); A small village is growing as a bumper crop has made the local rice fields more influential, so all the clans have sent a representative to the no-longer insignificant court. The location is vague, there will be no overarching metaplot (locally, anyway). Anything that happens will happen based on player action. I'll adjudicate as GM if necessary, but I'd like to keep that to a minimum.
EDIT: There are openings for many characters still. Every clan could send a detachment of samurai including a diplomat, one or more aids, and yojimbo. The Winds would also have reason to send representatives, and other factions might be present in secret. I would like to see many characters present, and use as few NPCs as possible!
The Scorpion delegation is well-represented. Additional Scorpion PCs will require innovative concepts and strong backstory/motivation.
Dragon, Crab, Phoenix, and possibly Tortoise clans have some representation, but their delegations still have space.
Other clans, and all four winds, are desperately in need of representation!
Game Description:
Legend of the Five Rings is a beloved game with a loyal following.
Bold Samurai, Devout Shugenja and Wily Courtiers match wits in an empire where honor is a blade sharper than steel.
The village of Kasetsu Mura has grown significantly in the last few years, and the clans are beginning to notice the prosperity of the province of which it is capital. The governor has opened his humble castle to the samurai of all clans, and you have come to display your family's honor.

My first obvious response is yes, I am horribly interested. Unfortunately, there seems to be a curse on L5R games here.
Secondly is that I am getting married this weekend as well I will be on "honeymoon" the first two weeks of July so I would not be able to commit to anything those days.
Anyway...
Preferred clan: Scorpion above all else, Crab if people have problems with Scorpions.
Pre-clan war would be ideal era. Clan war next. I don't like Hidden Emperor and barely ok with Gold. Lotus I am iffy about. Anything after, I don't care.
Secrets of, and the Way of series as well as Art of the Duel and any conversion errata/rules.
Good sir, you shit me! An old friend of mine is also getting married this Saturday! I wish you well as I do him!
I will look forward to seeing you in a few weeks! A question for you when you return, as well as for everybody else: How do you feel about a high-politics low-plot game?
