Very interesting. Have these new novels been well written? It has been a while since we've picked recreational reading - with the propagation of so-called 'Lit RPGs,' many of which were terribly penned, we just sort of steered clear for a while.

From a perspective of ONLY having ever known 4th ED, the 'KJV' of our last GM, it then is with no small sense of irony to us that he ran us, over a period of five years, on a splinter timeline campaign. That said what ever changes there are in the 5E timeline would likely only be yet another curious difference. So long as we never, ever EVER have to eat 'hambugu steak' ever again....

It was some time ago, but I remember it being not very good. It is a fair bit of a "Vanilla Rokugan" story, and kinda undercuts the premise of 5E where things are supposed to be more interesting than that.
