SirPhoebos posted:So what is going to be in Imperial Histories anyway? Basically, it's "How to play" in ten parts of Rokugan's history, including when the Kami fell to earth (including what Rokugan might be like if any of the OTHER Kami instead of Hantei had won), The Gozoku (Basically, they wanted to make the Emperor a figurehead and let the clans run things how they wanted, etcetera). Amongst all the various time frames includes two "non-canonical" time frames, the Heroes of Rokugan setting (the Toturi dynasty never fell.. based on the long running RPGA-like convention series of adventures in Living Campaign format), and the Thousand Years of Darkness (Fu Leng won the Day of Thunder.... now what?)

Thankfully, one of the amazon sellers had a copy of the Book of Air. Going to be an interesting read.

So, wonder how much things are going to be distracted while the Story Team leader does his big pathfinder kickstarter roll out that just finished. (a remake of an old computer game, too)

The year (according to the Isawa Calendar) is 3,122. It is the reign of the 112th Iweko Emperor. The Phoenix have discovered a ritual that enables faster than light travel. The Clans are triumphant on Rokugan, as the remaining gaijin nations are forcibly resettled to other worlds. The Great Clans have built spaceships, and have armed them against each other. The Emperor permits skirmishes to happen on other worlds, as long as the conflict stays off Rokugan. However, by edict of the Emperor, clans cannot claim full worlds for themselves, but instead must share them with their fellow clans. Twenty years ago, a new Emperor took the throne, and relaxed the rules on interclan conflict, as long as it didn't unduly affect the Empire's trading. This has caused some problems as the more aggressive Clans seek to expand their holdings. Mantis pirates are raiding Lion ships, and the Lion are not only hunting the pirates with an army of ships, but also are punishing the Mantis for what is believed to be covert support. A masked ronin named Nazo won the Emerald Championship (still settled in the traditional manner, via iaijutsu duels), and the woman he defeated (the daughter of the former Emerald Champion) seeks to discover the ronin's identity and discredit him (causing strife) The Spider and Dragon are preparing for war over the Dragon defending a member of an alien race that destroyed a Spider outpost. (The Crane and Spider actually ally over the Nazo-Crane feud) The Empire is under threat from a race of creatures called Scarabs, (basically like Chrysalids from Xcom, they infect living creatures and turn them into more creatures like themselves.. a single hidden Scarab can be enough to take over a whole ship)

They do classify planets based on the realm it's based on.

RIP 4th edition, the last product for the L5R RPG by AEG will be Atlas of Rokugan. Fantasy Flight Games has acquired the L5R Property from AEG https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2015/9/11/a-new-emperor-rises/ The CCG is going on a nearly two year hiatus.. to be reborn as a Living Card Game apparently at GenCon 2017. The RPG? They're going to do SOMETHING, but no one knows what.
