The first playtest of Jeph's Universal Roleplaying Kit (or JURK, as all the cool kids use acronyms these days) is this Monday, so I have a lot to do to make it not totally suck by then.

Let's chat for a minute about Legend of the Five Rings. This game/CCG/storyline is a point of contention for me, mostly because I love the world but HATE most of its fanbase. I guess the same could be said for most fanbases with whom I've had dealings, though. It also doesn't help that the Schools have never been balanced against each other and that the system itself has these big blind-spots that I have to finagle around.

I love the story. I love the setting. I love introducing new people to it. So, it's only natural that my first playtest uses JURK to play L5R. I will make the world love me or DIAF. Wait, that may have been too confrontational. :S

It all comes down to having fun. Also mechanical non-suckitude.
