Burden your armor. Grasp your daisho. The Emerald Empire has need of you! ~~~ This is an introductory adventure to Legend of the Five Rings 5th Edition, individuals from whole range of experience (beginner to experienced) are welcome to join.

About me
Storytelling has always been a passion of mine. Caught within the stirrings of a narrative, one can lose themselves and be spirited away to worlds beyond one's own imagination. Within my 20+ years of engaging TTRPGs I have had the pleasure and enjoyment of being audience to the captivating stories told by my fellow players. It is of little surprise that it is for that very reason that I have come to love being a GM. As a GM I am patient with players; both newcomers and the experienced. I always do my best to provide as much support to the players as I am able. It is a means to facilitate their needs and requirments making them as comfortable as possible to enjoy the gaming experience. Being hospitable breeds comfort and comfort is a key component to an enjoyable evening enagaging a TTRPG. I enagage the players with a means to immerse them within the scene. This will often be done via: emphasizing the tone of the scene with vivid depictions, impersonating the various NPCs which players encounter, delving into the setting that the players may be better acquainted, etc. Thus, if you'd like to sit at my table for an immersive experience please let me know.
