Index of Clans / Families / Schools / Titles

By sndwurks, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Roleplaying Game

Posted at

This thread / post is to provide a one stop index of currently published Clans, Families, and Schools so that people know where to pick them up. Please do not include actually published rules in this thread, so we are not infringing on FFG's sales / access and stuff. If something is a free online DLC, however, please feel free to embed the link. A lot of these are going to have "Pg XX" references at present as I do not have the Core Rules in front of me. I will be correcting them as I have those. Special Thanks to @DangerBob for writing up several of these!

Best person to ask that would be @FFGDerek , our forum moderator.

Thanks @sndwurks for updating these. This is such useful tool!

Thanks! This is very useful. Hope they make someday a pdf so we could download like a game aid :)

As a note, since the Path of the Waves book is promising to be the same size as the Emerald Empire book and I am not sure how its Mechanics are going to be organized, I have not added any of the previewed material up yet. Once the book is in my hands, I will get it up there. Thank you for your patience.

Is there a published L5R book that covers how to design your own minor clan (for GM use)?

Posted at

Yes, Secrets of the Empire, however was part of 4 Edition. Still you can use part of the fluff and ideas to do yours.

@Nheko has one of the sources I would recommend. The L5R 2nd Edition supplement Way of the Daimyo also had an appendix about creating Minor Clans.

Honestly, if they ever make an L5R Foundry for the RPG, I would totally write up a supplement to make a "20 Questions to Create a Minor Clan" guided play module for campaigns who want to have founding a new Minor Clan as a central theme.

I think the “Crow Clan” would be a good minor clan. Rokugan midlands region. Inland plains.

I know copies of Path of Waves have already been spotted in the wild, and that people who direct pre-ordered it from FFG have already received their copies. I will be buying mine from my FLGS (SUPPORT YOUR FLGS!) on Friday, and I will hopefully be able to get this Index updated over the weekend.

I have mine since Wednesday but had no time to make a feedback since.

Lots of "foreign" schools in this supplement.

I picked up my copy late last night. Taking a turn through it, it's going to be interesting getting it up on here, but I definitely like how it handles things.

I would consider Path of Waves a must-buy for the new Trinket table alone, but the list of Rokugani and non-Rokugani names is incredibly helpful for all games. The new Kata and Shuji I want to take a look at. And I like the new 20 Questions for Character Creation. I would say that that this is the most accessible "Ronin" L5R ever, and I am looking forward to digging deeper.
