I haven't played L5R in about 10 years, so when I saw the new edition I picked it up along with Enemies of the Empire. I really like the way the books are set up and would recommend them to a beginner, having never played or seen the 3rd edition books myself.

I like the "era neutral" setting, but I do wish there was some more detail on Rokugan's history. I'm familiar with the Coup and the Clan War era, but over the past decade a lot of my knowledge has slipped away from me. Are there any decent resources for that sort of thing? I use the L5R Wiki sometimes but it feels really incomplete.

Yeah, all the stuff about the Spider Clan is completely new to me--I read the L5R wiki article but it wasn't all that helpful. Is the Spider Clan considered part of Rokugani society, or are they treated as enemies by the Great Clans?

It makes me sad to see Yakamo's fate. His story arc during the Clan Wars was my favorite.
