So, I was in the bookstore the other day and I picked up a copy of L5R, 3rd edition. (not the cancer version) I haven't really had a chance to play with it yet, but I was just wondering if anyone who'd played it would care to share their thoughts/impressions/etc of the game.
The only thing I've done is cobbled together a quick character, put him up against one of the sample NPCs in the back, and had a little mock fight. From that, my only impression is, "Holy sh*t, this game is more deadly than Shadowrun!" Thoughts? |
