Introduction
Legend of the Five Rings, 4th Edition. A game starting pre-Scorpion Clan Coup, the default setting for the 1st edition of the RPG.
This is the wiki page for L5R Distant Thunder, a Play-by-Post that will be run on the rpg.net PbP forum. I'm Waiwode, the GM. We're at barebones right now, but more will be added as things get rolling.
Player Characters
The Empire of Rokugan
Imperial Families
The Great Clans
The Crab
For the past several years the Shadowlands have grown quiet. Although oni still infest lost Hiruma Castle, they rarely approach the Kaiu Wall in great numbers anymore. With warriors idling, the eyes of the Crab Clan now turn north.
The Crane
The Crane have defeated the Lion, but Doji Satsume, Master of the Crane Clan and Emerald Champion, seems unwilling to press the advantage. He has handed his young son, Kuwanan, over to the Akodo as a hostage.
The Dragon
With the death of Mirumoto Satsu in a duel with Hida Yakamo, the Dragon withdrew from the rest of the Empire, hiding behind the diplomatic services of the Dragonfly Clan. Now, it is said, they have emerged again.
The Lion
The Phoenix
The Scorpion
The Unicorn
The Minor Clans
The Badger
The Centipede
The Dragonfly
The Fox
The Hare
The Mantis
Despite being a minor clan, the Mantis control enough wealth to rival any Great Clan. Every year merchants fill the holds of Mantis ships with mainland silk, paid for in fresh silver, and sail it to the islands, returning with spices and the finest teak. (Secret: The Mantis trade with Gaijin merchants, with Imperial blessing. And taxation.)
The Sparrow
The Tortoise
The Wasp

House Rules
1. Spell Scrolls are copies of ancient spirit contracts. Each clan's contract is different. Without the ability to commune with spirits a spell scroll is nothing but paper filled with confusing and often meaningless symbols. Holding the scroll in the caster's hand acts as a "spiritual legal reminder" and provides a free raise to any spell the shugenja has memorized.
2. Anyone with Heavy armour can chose to wear parts of it only, and have it count as Light Armour. This mostly comes into play when time is of the essence.
3. Master of Kyu-jutsu have used a daikyu on foot without penalty to accuracy for centuries. There is no accuracy penalty to using a daikyu while dismounted. Due to it's unique shape, it cannot be used inside single story buildings, however.
