If you only want 4 players I'll bow out and let someone else have a crack at this one :)

Cattle die, kinsmen die
You too one day shall die
I know a thing that will never die
Fair fame of one who has earned it.

Ok before people start bowing out.  Does everyone have the Fantasy Flight Games Edition of Legend of the Five Rings?

AndyZ

I have the book and am interested.  I don't know L5R all that well, though, so I need to REALLY think about a lot of these questions.  Here's what I've got so far.

Balls.

It's 5th edition.

I've got 2nd Edition by AEG.

But no 1st Edition.

I yield my spot to HairyHeretic

Unless my count in incorrect it’s Crane that is winning at the moment

Sorry changed my vote from dragon as I saw it was not  on the approved list of clans for the game. So gave another vote to the crane.

Arcanist

My bad everyone.
Crane 4
Phoenix 2
Unicorn 1

It’s from me, muse, Andyz and Marie Reynolds. 7 votes cause Andyz put in only one vote. Anyone else?

It's all good.  I'll catch you on the next one.

There should still be a vote for Scorpion.  Withdrawing my votes would still leave Arcanist's one vote for Scorpion.

AndyZ

Wait, what's with the voting, exactly?  Are we all only going to be one Clan?  Is that normal?

One clan as requested by GM

Multiple clans can lead to party infighting which may lead to butthurt

Arcanist

Especially when you are a scorpion diplomat in a group of varying clans during the coup. Plenty of butt hurt

I chose one Clan to make it easier for everyone to learn without having clashing of party members.  Just easier that is.

AndyZ

Oh, okay.  Hope I didn't mess things up with Crane.  I'm still very new to this game.
