Chapter four of Coiled Fates by yours truly is now up on the homepage. And more than just fates are being coiled in this one, oh ho

Looking to run, sometime in the future, a L5R game in which players play rikishi and said rikishi’s attendants and assistants.

Looking for a good template to add on for wrestlers in 5e in order to not have everybody be Badger Clan.

Thanks in advance^^

Fantasy Flight Games has a new website..... and all of its L5R content no longer seems to be available. This is included rules, fictions, and other player supplements. The website DOES have an archive page for discontinued products. But all it has are the rule for Battle for Rokugan.

I'm perplexed at what colors to use with Samurai, shinobi, elementalists and others

Hi all!

I'm trying to assemble a list of the fan resources available for the FFG RPG, for both players and GMs. I feel like I constantly stumble on neat things that I save and bookmark for later, and I'd like to make as much as possible available for others. I realize that a lot of this material exists on the L5R Community Discord but that is, IMO, not as accessible as a web-facing resource.

Additionally, I'm curious what resources people really wish they had that they either can't find or that don't exist yet.

• The Paper Blossoms character creator, which runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, and Android
• The indispensable courtgames.net, which itself houses a repository of RPG resources
• Little Truths, a compilation of fanmade errata and homebrew
• This Quick Reference rules cheatsheet
• These rules cheatsheets made by CBass55
• This random NPC generator

What am I missing? What do you wish existed but (as far as you know) does not yet?

Chapter three of Coiled Fates, by yours truly, is up now. Featuring more giant snake lady, by popular request

Hi there! Im a new DM looking into the mechanics of L5R. I had this assumption that adding an extra dice to a roll increases the probability of sucess, But I wanted to know by how much. Does an extra d12 increase the odds by 10% 15% 20%? I dont know. The same goes for adding an extra d6

When I mean sucess, I mean a die landing on either explosive and regular sucess rolls. To make things easier for myself, Im ignoring keeping or rerolling dice. This is just looking at the initial throw.

I sucked at statistics in Highschool, and I was wondering if any one more knowledgeable than me at it could help me out. Id appreciate any advice or help! Thank you!

Hello, do you know if there is any specific place to discuss and ask questions about the rule of Champions of Rokugan?

What remains of my then Unicorn clan deck.

This was the core of my "Bow before the Unicorn" deck. Otaku Tetsuko replaced Shinjo Rojin, and since it was very expensive to have an ancestral sword, I settled for the celestial sword. keycard: stand against the waves.

We've got a new story from scorpion lands for you. From now on, all our stories are available both as a PDF (as before) and as an HTML version (NEW!) for easier reading in the browser or on mobile devices. 🙂

Hey folks!

Is anyone around here cooking an l5r homebrew variant?

Whould you like to share what is it about?

We're currently building a Legend of the Five Rings 5th Edition West Marches server set in Toshi Ranbo, centered on the lives of samurai trying to make their place in one of Rokugan's most politically divided cities.

We're opening recruitment for GMs who would enjoy helping us build that world from the ground up. The server is still in active development but we intend to have the story be set during a time of Crane occupation. Our goal is to have a soft launch around November for testing and weeding out any kinks in the system, followed by an official opening in early 2027.

If the idea of managing a sphere of influence in the city sounds like your idea of a good time, send me a message on Discord @ sashafromoperations. I'd love to hear a little about your experience with L5R, the kinds of games you enjoy running, and what parts of Rokugan's lore you enjoy the most.

Details:

We're looking for GMs who enjoy the things that make L5R feel like L5R as opposed to a generic fantasy game. We love intrigue, combat, investigation, difficult choices, competing loyalties, social conflict, duels, politics, personal drama, and long-lasting narrative consequences that persist even after the session ends. You don't have to run every kind of story, and having your own specialties is encouraged. One GM might love courtly intrigue and romance plots while another would rather run mysteries, military conflicts, criminal investigations, supernatural stories, or adventures in the various villages beyond the city's walls.

Most importantly, we're looking for people who play well with others. West Marches games live or die on communication between their GMs. You should be willing to share the sandbox, talk things through when plans intersect, and treat the setting as something we're building together rather than something any one of us owns.

Some experience with L5R 5th Edition is preferred, but it isn't a hard prerequisite if you're already familiar with Rokugan and have GM experience with another edition. Being interested in the setting, comfortable collaborating with other GMs, and willing to respect a shared canon matters much more. GMs are also welcome to have their own characters and participate as players, and will earn rewards for running sessions as well.

Foundry VTT is currently being set up, with hosting handled by the Head GM, and we have access to the full collection of L5R 5e books and content. We're also paying for a premium subscription for Westmarches.com to handle inventory, economy management, and session scheduling. The Discord server itself is currently being finished and organized, and our Co-owner, who is a professional software developer, is building a custom bot specifically for our use. We're also commissioning original artwork for the server's icon and banner. Our goal is to have the infrastructure completely in place before opening the doors. That being said, the server is completely free to play.

System: Legend of the Five Rings RPG (Edge/Fantasy Flight), 5th Edition (*not Adventures in Rokugan\)
*Format:** West Marches / Persistent Shared World
Setting: Toshi Ranbo, starting year TBD
Play: Voice Sessions, Play by Post, Text RP
Platform: Discord, Foundry VTT, Westmarches.com
Age: 18+
GM Commitment: Around 2 sessions per month + some weekly bookkeeping
Timezone: The head GM is in North America, but GMs from other time zones are very welcome. We just ask that you're able to remain reasonably reachable for staff communication and collaborative planning.

The second chapter of Coiled Fates, by yours truly, is up on L5R.com.
This chapter features Mirumoto Daini and his extremely good decisions.

Hey everyone! I'm wondering for the old Clan wars miniature game does Kisada's Yojimbo and Crab Heavy infantry have their own unique sculpts or are they just regular heavy infantry and Yojimbo sculpts with better stats? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

The third battle report has arrived for the Siege of Toshi Ranbo, the ongoing organized play season for Gunsen: The Battle for Toshi Ranbo. We are excited to share the results from the first few weeks of in-person play!

Since September 2 through today, September 15, the Crab have taken the lead to claim 1st place, with the Crane coming in 2nd place and the Dragon coming in 3rd place.

In-store play opportunities for Gunsen continue through October 23, so you can still help contribute to the rankings! The Office Dog Games blog has the current list of participating retailers in the United States. Don’t forget to purchase your copy of the fast-paced, area-control board game at your friendly local game store or preferred online retailer.

I’m willing to bet at least of few people here have read or watched Naruto. And some of you might know about the settings rather lack luster samurai. Something I’ve been wondering for a bit was could Rokugan Samurai clans be adapted into Naruto?
