While living here I've been GMing a L5R game every week, with the occasional breaks (some lasting a month or two). During that time, I've seen interesting PCs, played with some great players, and we've done some crazy things in game.

Last night, we had our last session. The campaign concluded in the return of a bloodmage they thought was dead, a summoned oni, and a big conspiracy to ruin the Winter Court. Our fighter slayed the oni and re-killed the bloodmage, our duelist cut down the two guarding revenants, and our mage killed the treacherous spellcaster who just stabbed the Jade Champion in the back.

Things ended rather well for the PCs, except for the 4th character who slowly went insane in the epilogue. Everyone was happy with the campaign as a whole, even our spellcaster who only joined in two or three weeks ago.

As a parting gift, the players gave me some candy and a FRIKKIN' AWESOME BOKKEN!
I honestly don't think I've ever had as good players before, who partook in the campaign as they did and who made the experience as enjoyable for me as I hope I made it for them. Even the player who was the most difficult was the engaging player and one of the main driving force of the plot. Banzo will be remembered as the character who tried his best, but still managed to get screwed again and again.

Just wanted to share this with the community. I hope I will enjoy my next game as much as I did this one

Just .

Pretty awesome feeling to have a campaign finally end. only one of my campaigns ended fully and that was with my brother and friend, (the friend dming). lvl 1 to 20 in two years, with much epicness. I can't imagine the tales that your party has created, I feel if a campaign goes full circle like that, they could almost always be turned into a novel since so much goes into it. So congratz!

Speaking of novels...

I had a pretty cool website where I wrote down what happened almost every session (the only exceptions were the last two sessions) and now I intend to put all that info into a pdf file to share with my players and others who are interested.

This includes the Adventure Diaries, minor PC backgrounds, and NPC info. Thing is though, it'll be pretty bland if it has no art. I'm not that good an artist, so I was hoping some of you might know of some cool art I could use for free in a public pdf file, or even an artist who is willing to do some art for close to nothing (one can only hope). It was a samurai game though, so I'd prefer the art fitting that theme.

Any pointers are welcome

Maybe deviant art would be a good place to go with asking people for requests... or just google? I'm not sure if I was good at art i'd do it.

Being not very patient, I actually didn't bother with the search and have just finished making the pdf file. It is a bit bland because of it (did add some art, but not much).

I'm gonna send this to my players and give them time to read it over before posting this online.
