Wait.

@Dovahsith
Were the Hantei on the table?

"And I intend to play the Crane as not biggest assholes in the setting if I get in :V"

Just means there's a little less for Tsuko to kick.

Yes, yes they are.

By the way what map of Rokugan are we using? The map you posted is a bit too small to analyze? I think this is more or less is accurate as well except for the Mantis who likely haven't colonized all the islands yet.

All maps are right. Because the Emperor says so.

If this gets enough players, can I be the Sparrow clan and like, really, really poor, but very adamant about MUCH HONORABORU POVERTY?

Yes.

I listed the Crane and Mantis as 2 and 1 but I honestly can't decide if I want to be the biggest assholes in the setting or the Ironborn children of Kaimetsu-Uo.

Sounds like a challenge to me.


Also accepting Map and Secondary Mods.

Do you intend to be active in this NG?
Because you have had a habit of joining and never posting.
If so, great but i'd prefer a little heads up if someone else wants to be Phoenix.

Okay, I kinda deserve that :oops:
but yes there shouldn't be any reason for me to be inactive this game, and if one comes up I'll let everyone know as soon as possible.

(Does Actual Research On The Time Period)
@Dovahsith I want to vacate my initial three claims.

1. The Emperor (Daigotsu's daddy, "Let me trust this Bayushi lady this will surely end well, I can just ignore Hida Kisada, what could possibly go wrong?")

2. The Dragon (Hitomi "If you meet Lord Moon, murder him and take his place in the Heavens" Mirumoto? YES PLEASE.)

3. The Dothraki White Scars Nadir Unicorn

I've never actually done something like this before. But I am ridiculously hyped for it.
So uh, fingers crossed.

@bookwyrm
If no-one takes it you can be Crab, if not, i'll let you take Badger, dependent on further applicants. Just need to fill the Major clan slots first.

Does that mean I get to play Fu Leng once Mina & Maugen Ra are done with their respective "Look at me, I'm saving Rokugan, I'm helping!" Great Decisions and Hantei 39 is so fed up with all this bullshit that becoming the earthly vessel of the Dark Kami and Lord of the End Times seems like a better option than another day of dealing with all his helpful vassals?

No, you have to deal with me being poor first.
 
*Stares at game*

So any suggestions for someone new to this setting? Cause I really like Dovah games.

or if Dovah needs a mod to help, I am willing to help also.

How do you know DM won't consider you falling to the Dark Kami as a bad ending and simply give the role to someone else given that you've failed as Emperor? :rofl:

Generally the Crab Clan is the Newbie Friendly RP Option, since all you have to remember is that tetsubos and muscles are good and the Shadowlands suck, and if you completely absolutely cannot into Rokugan etiquette and tradition not even a little bit IC everyone just shrugs and goes "Crab gonna Crab."
 
I can take Crab, as I understand it they are very brusque and direct. They have a strong sense of honor, both personal and as a group, and believe nothing should come before defending the wall. It is almost dishonorable to grow so old you retire and... become a monk?

I am not familiar with the setting too much, I have read some, like there have a sort of group of auxilieriers that come from beyond the wall Crab sometimes employs?

I just saw that Crab was needed and they seem easiest.

Their enemy is I think Crane and don't get too involved in most major politics.

You're also perpetually poor and under appreciated by everyone else with a huge chip on your shoulder over having to beg others for the supplies and privilege of protecting their ungrateful asses.

Let me think.
There is the only unfilled Major Clan, the Crab.
Think Samurai Sumo wrestler sized Nights Watch guarding the Great Wall against a constant invasion from Hell. They get looked down on for not spending time learning poetry when they have to defend all of civilisation from a Oni the size of a mountain with fanged mouths for eyes. Tend to be no nonsense, respect strength etc. basically the ASOIAF North except Japanese and located on the southern border.

Other than that you have the minor clans, the main ones that are active currently being the Wasp and the Fox/Kitsune. They are currently in an alliance with the Sparrow, a collection of impoverished samurai who are proud of their poverty.

The Wasp are odd due to refusing to use Katana's viewing it as a weapon dishonored by hypocrites, instead following the Clan Champion (a half Lion/Scorpion with grudges against both) as effectively becoming expert bowmen and bounty hunters.

The Kitsune are the descendents of the Unicorn who remained in the Empire when they wandered off to explore the world, considered the oldest officially mandated clan and have a strong relationship with the Crane and a reputation for marrying mysterious fox women. They can also talk to animals and are rather mystical.
