Since this is the general chat section I thought I'd see which setting era are favorites.
I have fond memories of 1st Edition's setting. The system was lethal and the katana flew fast and furious. The setting books were amazing also. The crab lingo in Bearers of Jade, the quotes from Lies & Little Truths in the Scorpion book and the philosophy in the Dragon book.
Oh and the setting hadn't been mucked up by CCG wins yet.

The Clan War was the most interesting of Eras in my opinion.

1st edition setting by far. We're playing 4th edition right now, but still in pre-coup era, or sometimes during scorpion coup/second day of thunder times. Oh and I have single stand-alone adventure that takes place in cyberpunk Rokugan, 1000 years after Fu Leng won during second day of thunder. There's Akodo in power armor, Tsuruchi with motorcycle "Suzumebachi", Yakuza-like Yasuki (Yasuki family is now Scorpion), and ronin master of sword

I actually rather like the Spirit Wars. A massively under-developed period, and yet one with such potential!

Not really my actual favorite, but well worth consideration: Thousand Years of Darkness

First eddition/ pre scorpion clan coup. Of course the game I played in involved a villian from the third day of thunder travelling through the realm of dreams to alter history.

Any era that allows for Kolat shenanigans would be my favorite... lol

A massively under-developed period, and yet one with such potential! actually... if you're interested in the Spirit Wars and the RPG, the L5R Living campaign, Heroes of Rokugan, is currently set during the spirit wars. Check it out at www.heroes-of-rokugan.com.

Kakita Shinji-san, do you happen to have a link to the 1000+ years in the future setting? Its something my group had talked about fiddling with, but can't remember where we found it years ago.

I regret to say that I don't. I came up with that with friend. It's just crazy futuristic vision of evil Rokugan. With oil pumps on Shinomen desert, Kasuga police helicopters flying over Otosan Uchi, Dragons fortified in their mountains, guided by Wounded Togashi, Crab defending against Shadowlands (now when Fu Leng has what he wanted he doesn't want shadow-stuff in his empire)... And so on
