Meanwhile, I'm running a guy with essentially no hobbies and a rather... stolid approach to most strangers.
Consequently, there are whole swathes of the playerbase he's barely interacted with

Re: OOC Chatter
Well, I mean, he DOES spend a lot of time with Narumi, Aimi, and Koi, and he rode off into the woods with one Moto and sparred with another...Wait, are you talking about that horrifying shriek at the inn?
Oh, you mean that wasn't Shiba Raizo and his latest conquest?
Clearly, he's the greatest Casanova here

Re: OOC Chatter
So I have read the duelling rules. Several times.
I would like to profess my absolute hate for all designers of duelling rules in L5R, all editions included. Rarely have I seen such enthusiasm and consistency at not only attempting to reach maximum useless complexity, but also at blatantly ignoring everything your colleagues have designed for the rest of the book and build a completely alien set of rules just for the purpose of that single action.
