I had hoped I would be able to keep updating to this new blog without slowing down or missing opportunities, or not having much to say. Sadly, it seems I'm not in the most creative mood recently. I'm moving house in the next couple of weeks, so maybe the fresh scenery will encourage me. Hopefully … Continue reading For lack of a better post

L5R 4E Topaz Championship session 1
I think that went rather well. So last night we all sat down, finished off some character creation issues (mostly the shugenja's spells), and set off for Tsuma! We didn't get much further than the gates of the town, but on the way the characters ran into Megumi and brewed some lovely tea (although not … Continue reading L5R 4E Topaz Championship session 1
Brainstorming
Whilst I'm obviously very busy working in the dungeon of the local hospital, I'm also busy brainstorming the road to Tsuma for the start of the Topaz Championship tonight. Not sure what my three young Crab samurai will make of Megumi, but hopefully they'll enjoy it.

On Beastkin
Beastkin live in the wild places of the world, finding themselves most at home in the heart of nature, and rarely stray too far from the spirits of their ancestral homes.

The Rookery
The Rookery is the home of the Circle, a vicious gang of thieves and killers. The various ward marshals of Queenstown would like nothing more than to infiltrate the gang, especially so that they can locate the Rookery. How long it will take them to look above the city streets has become the basis of … Continue reading The Rookery

On the Fall of the Drakashi
The fall of the Drakashi Empire was one of the major causes of instability amongst the warring Istani kingdoms, but they also fought over dwindling supplies of silver and, after the Ascension of the Storm, water supplies.

Condensing my blogs
OK, I'm trying to be determined to be good and actually get back into the habit of blogging again. Of course, having a regular connection to the internet would help, as would Blogger not crashing my phone when I try and write something. But I've been feeling ill and sorry for myself today, despite it … Continue reading Condensing my blogs

Forming an idea for L5R
In the last week and a bit, I've been messing with some ideas for a Legend of the 5 Rings game.My old 1st edition Unicorn character managed to pick up an ancient Crab katana whilst adventuring in the Shadowlands.

Ser Coranth School for the Furtherance of Knowledge and Wisardry
Following my idea the other day, here's what I've piled together so far.First of all, apologies to Patrick Rothfuss for some of the more blatant plagiarism homage. It is well meaning, I'm sure you'll understand. As I'm working this, it's becoming a little less Rothfuss - there's a Goblin warren beneath the school, so it's … Continue reading Ser Coranth School for the Furtherance of Knowledge and Wisardry
