Game Synopsis: Gathered by the Imperial Herald, Miya Chiroku, you serve as Shikken, arbiters of the Empire. Those tasked as ambassadors of peace, serving in the empress' name, seeking non-violent resolutions between hostile and willful daimyo. With spring coming to a close, tensions are high, and the air in court is like an over-tuned biwa, whose melodies are sharp, and shrill. A flurry of late season correspondences dance back and forth between courtiers, exchanging strokes in the ancient game of letters, but whether they mean trade, peace, or the marching of honorable samurai to war... only time will tell. One thing is certain, when the heat of summer rises, and samurai tempers flare, there is always need for the empress' Shikken, to ensure the empire does not descend into the chaos of war. Details: This game is being played using Legend of the Five Rings, 4th Edition. We presently have 3 players and a GM, and are looking for 2 more to round out the party. We are going to be playing on Monday nights, from 9pm to Midnight. This is set prior to the Destroyer war, so the Spider clan are not part of the empire in this campaign. If you are interested, send me a message. The game will start on October 1st 2018.
