The other night me and my partner were talking about how characters from the show we were watching would fit into l5r and I started thinking about how one could just run the story of a show as a L5R campaign.
Have any of you thought about doing the same?
One idea was Silver Fang. Have the characters be ronin from a small unaligned village. One of the characters will be Gin, the son of the former leader who died fighting a Lost Bandit or some Ogre called Akakabuto. After a few years of peace the village is once again under attack and Gin and frinds need to search Rokugan for warriors who will join them in their quest to vanquish Akakabuto once and for all!
Instead of having the characters gather up an entire army, have them just meet with the named characters to persuade them into the joining the party. Or you could have them act as mentors to teach the characters certainknowledge needed to defeat their enemy.
What shows or movies would you adapt into a l5r campaign?
