Title: Legend of the 5 Rings + Sorcerer = S5R
Post by: Bankuei on June 04, 2003, 06:44:04 PM
Hi folks,

I'll let it speak for itself:

Sorcerer of the 5 Rings...

QuoteWhat is S5R?

S5R is my personal conversion of AEG's wonderful setting of Rokugan in their Legend of the 5 Rings roleplaying and card game to another rpg system, Ron Edward's Sorcerer.  Why?  Because while L5R is rich and filled with great stories of drama, betrayal and sacrifice, the rules are somewhat limited in making that happen.  You pretty much have to push that sort of agenda, otherwise you just get samurai hack and slash.  Sorcerer, on the other hand, is all about the drama.  So I figured I'd merge the two things I like.  I love both games, and would love to see support for them both, enjoy.

Since my L5R collection is across the country, I'll leave stuff like statting up each individual sword school and nasty Shadowlands minion to the more zealous amongst you.

Hey, neat.  I sort of liked L5R... but the metaplot and the mechanics didn't grab me at all.  I'll read it and then perhaps have something useful to say on it.
