What can I say, I suck at being...

[SCN_ Grey_fox]

... patient. I state that due to other than the L5R games(sorry guys, I am completely lost on it) there isn't any campaigns to lurk or play at the moment. With that said, I am offering to GM a game, if there is any one who wants to play.

The two options are; restart/continue Bridgepuddle(4e), or start a Savage Worlds (Super)Heroes game.

I have been watching a lot of CW's hero shows and MCU's movies as of late. So, I want to run the SW, but I can understand if a few wish to restart,or even continue Bridgepuddle more.

(I know it will come up, The Fallout game has been placed on the back burner due to a creative block.)Either way, I can only do one or the other, So I am going to wait until I have at least 2, before posting in earnest.

That's more or less the reason I got stuck as captain. I kept getting impatient on others and just kept going, "Frack it, I'LL JUST RUN ANOTHER GAME WHAT'S THE WORSE THAT COULD HAPPEN!"

Then the captain disappeared and everyone felt I should replace them because I put in more effort than anyone else. sweatdrop

Those were the days where I worked 7:30-3:30 and was usually home by 4. These days, I'm generally working 8-6:00 or later. This is actually the earliest I've gotten home so far this August, since I got out only at 5:25. My shift normally ends at 5 sweatdrop

I am afraid to admit I don't remember anything about Bridgepuddle ninja How far did we get in it?

(And sorry about Legend of the Five Rings ninja )

I remember the change over, we had to have a Gaian admin to over ride the usual path. sweatdrop

From my memory, I am sure I could just look it up; but where's€™the fun in that? You played Acorn(Shifter), Kow played Seraphina(Blue Half-dragon) and Rag played a rogue (Kobold, and can't€™remember it's€™s name). I can't€™remember the fourth player.

After entering the underground mausoleum, and killing a elf swordmage, the group found a long dead dragon mother, who's€™s eggs were stolen from her and she was tortured for turning against Tiamut. They also learned of a prophesy, that said the mother would rise again, when her child hatched and with her the dead would follow.

Not long afterwards, Acorn tried to save a person(who knew the elf) from a ghoul who was trying to give him a lesson on how to breathe in water. All and all not too far, but it wouldn't€™t be so hard to build a new campaigned on the same idea€¦ it was once considered a prime idea to play both 4e and 5e on the same board.

(Don't worry about it, if I really wanted to not be confused I would read the book cover to cover, that is how I learned of 5e, SW, and a few other things. I just don't want to read a 400 page book and all those posts, just yet.)

Oh! It's the Acorn game! That's all I needed to know. 4laugh

I would say if you were to be introduced to Legend of the Five Rings, Cartographers would be a better fit sweatdrop Or another game if one were to be created. The ideal choice to show someone the ropes is to do a Crab samurai clan-centered game where it's pretty much samurai vs monsters & demons, because the Crab don't really care what the other samurai clans think or want; they just want to be left alone to kill demons.

they just want to be left alone to kill demons.

Sounds a lot like Court Squad 11 off of Bleach.

Anyway, Cartographers; is that a setting? something akin to Dark Sun, Forgotten Realms, or Eberron in D&D.  

[Rain Yupa]

A task, not a setting sweatdrop Basically, "explore the empire and update some maps". An excuse to go adventuring, since "adventuring" isn't something a samurai normally does.

If it helps, here's my best shot at bleach squad captain comparison to the great clans in L5R (7 original clans, 1 disappeared for about 600 years on a journey to seek and defeat enemies outside the empire then came back; 1 created around the start of the metaplot/1st edition in year ~1130; and 1 added towards the end of the metaplot before property rights changed hands, in year ~1173). I'll also use 3 keywords for each.

Crab Clan - Military; Defensive; Monster-hunters - Kenpachi
Crane Clan - Duels; Honor; Court - Byakuya
Dragon Clan - Duels; Mysticism; Enlightened - Sajin
Lion Clan - Military; Honor; Military - Toshiro
Mantis Clan - Pirates; Archers; Cutthroat - Hardest to say, since it's actually several smaller clans merged, but probably Shinji
Phoenix Clan - Magic; Pacifists; Defensive - Jushiro
Scorpion Clan - Secrets; Dishonor; Court - Gin
Spider Clan - Dishonor; Military; Evil?? - Mayuri
Unicorn Clan - Military; Cavalry; Different - Shunsui

Are you asking if I would like to join? If so, I blame lack of sleep for not piecing it together earlier. If not, then I blame the aforementioned patience for reading into something that isn't there.

But, you succeeded on peeking enough interest to gain a copy of the core book. And want rewatch my Bleach and samurai themed dvd's... sweatdrop

I was worried you'd be curious about what L5R is like, and Unity (the major game going on) is diving a bit into the deep end. sweatdrop

And if it makes people more likely to post in Cartographers, I'd be down with another player!

Unity drowned me.
Like ... water = politics and I was the wicked witch from Oz, and I was all like, "This is fine ..."

Well, just this last week I got my household goods and just finished (mostly) setting up my house. Alphabetfish and I finally have our desktops computers back. I still plan on starting the next Arc of my campaign in September. I will get a recruitment thread for one ore two more players started here in the next week or so.

As for Bridgepuddle I would prefer to start over and potentially pick up some new players. I might want to play a different character myself that wouldn't clash so much with Acorns personality(if Rain still wanted to play that character.) I'm not sure Seraphina was a good fit for that group ,though it was kind of fun with her being a blue half-dragon and having strong feelings towards the blue dragon egg and the events that were taking place in that campaign.

Just keep in mind Arc 3 will be starting in two weeks or so, so don't be too antsy.

Fox, I don't know how well we'll thrive with how we're doing.
