Enjoying this series, its kind of my way of just making sure I didn't miss anything on my first read

For those who might not have noticed. Even ignoring advantage, it is usefull to spend Void Points to take blow's to avoid loosing fatigue, because if you loose all of yur Fatigue you become inapacitated, leaving you unable to fight back. Which means you loose, death or capture are a near certainty on a battlefield,while a lost honor duel can come with any number of consequences, heck even a loss in a tournament might be cost you more than the critical blow might. If you take the blow however there is a good chance you may be able to keep fighting for another round, which might just be all you need to secure victory, if not flee to fight another day.

About anxieties, or anyway adnvantages and disavantages. They are written in 2 parts, the first one that needs no roll, and the second one related to a rolls. For the anxieties, you gain 3 strife only if you make a roll related to that disavantages.

Your comment about being kind to your players just got you a subscriber, buds. Good shit

Killer series! Subscribed.

I've linked these videos to my players. Thank you for doing this.

Great video!

Great job on these! Also, I recall the 1st Edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay using that type of Void/Hero point system, called "Fate points". It came out in 1986. Although I'm not sure if West End's D6 system had it before their 1987 Star Wars rpg. I heard their earlier Ghostbusters RPG (also 1986) used a prototypical version of D6, but never saw that one myself. Don't know if that specific Point mechanic was in it. Hell, there was probably some small-time, largely unknown, game that first implemented it a year before those and nobody knows!

At the start of the game seems pretty clear to me. A game is when you sit down to play. Like when you say hey do you want to play a game of battleship? Or when you go watch a game of your favorite sport.

Hi I'm a year late but I wanna say thank you for these videos! I've been wanting to play L5R for a while but never felt confident enough to go from pathfinder to L5R and these videos are helping me a lot. Also if you see this, do you remember where you got that shirt? It looks so cool

Greats vids! Its helping me so much to learn this rpg. I just bought the beginner box and can't wait to play it. Do you do online sessions with the public by any chance ?

I'd love to see a video on how magic works in 5e. I hated magic in 4e.

The value of the Iniciative is (air+water)/2. If air=2 and water=3 it will be 5/2. = 2.5. Iniciative is 2 or 3?

if i want more action in my table,could be interesting use Edurence: earth + fire * 3 or 4?

Are values rounded up or down, such as gaining Void points equal to half your Ring when it’s 3?

Why would a player spend a Void Point to take damage on purpose? Is it to cause more damage to the target at a compromise?

I don't really understand why a PC would choose to spend a void point to take a critical hit. Is there any reason to do so, other than for roleplay?

Your gripes with L5R are exactly mine. I think mechanics are poorly reasoned. It feels like one person was writing a more DnD style system, another was trying to make a Whitewolf style system, and another person was trying to make the older Roll/Keep system fit in there too.

It's three hearts not three faces.
