Personally, I am very excited to see the new 20 Questions format and potentially run a "deniable assets" kind of game, if my table is interested -- maybe one (disgraced) great clan samurai leading a mixture of ronin, gaijin, and peasants on a dangerous, morally ruinous mission with the promise of redemption, riches, and status for anybody who returns.

And when they do return, whoever hired them will of course try to have them killed, because they were never supposed to survive the attempt. That could be fun.

I mean, sure, it's been done, but there's a particular kind of joy that comes from playing one of those classic story archetypes. If my players are interested in playing around in that side of Rokugan, this is the kind of story that would really work for them.
