L5R - End of the Topaz Championship
Ok, so, finally getting a chance to post. We'll see if I can finish this.
Seannittner should have a good, comprehensive lj post on the subject. Check it out when it gets up.
New Mechanics
Introed a new mechanic I've been thinking of for awhile: Honor targets. The game has a sliding scale of honor that moves from 0.0 to 5.0. I had the PCs choose a .5 range for their honor, and if it gets in that range, they receive a bonus on all rolls.
Act 2 cards! Introed them, got some new ones. As always, I need another batch before it's done. sigh.
What Rocked
The whole party got together by the end and worked together against the scorpion.
Having a mystery plot that actually made sense at each progressive moment, and I didn't let it get too curvy!
On the same note, fooling all the PCs was fun.
What Didn't
Screwed up cards make me sad.
2 of the players seemed to be taking a backseat. Maybe that was just because they were tired or whatever, but that kind of thing always makes me nervous that they aren't having a fun time.
