You know the drill. I throw a couple of links up, you follow them blindly or ignore them 'cos they've got names like "The Yellow Crab" or something. So I'm going to write a small bit about each site, describing why it's useful and interesting. If you want a big list of links...use Google or something.

• The Imperial Libraries of Otosan Uchi have the largest selection of Five Rings fiction on the internet - including a few of my short stories. They're in the Dragon section. The first few stories describe the effects of the Naga/Dragon war on the familes of the Dragon. I liked two of the characters so much that I adopted one  - Kitsuki Hamesu - as my online persona, and wrote another series of five stories where Kitsuki Hamesu and his pal have all sorts of wacky adventures with ninja and naga, and end up killing each other after abandoning everything they hold dear. I do not have issues. Seth also let me borrow the backgrounds and some graphics for this site.
• Rikimaru's L5R Humour Site is run by a friend of mine, and (more shameless self-promotion) has some of my stuff up there. L5r seems to generate an awful lot of parodies and vaguely funny stories. The best of 'em are probably Rich Wulf's Hidden Chicken stuff, but there's more stuff on Rikimaru's site. Read 'em all.
• The Shadowlands Refuge of the Lion Clan is the best CCG news site. D'uh. There's something incredibly addictive about Andy's site. You keep coming back and hitting reload, hoping he'll have posted more news. CNN for the CCG.
• The Dragon Clan homepage. A nice site, bit skimpy on occasion. I'm a mediocre CCG player, but I try.
• The House of the Jade Lantern, which sort of inspired this site. RPGs are so...transient. Even a theatre play has reviews to be remembered by. RPGs fade into the neverness of gamer stories and urban legends unless we do something to remember them by.
• Shiba Toma's got an excellent L5R rpg site. While I haven't used much of the stuff on the site, it's nice to know it's there. It's also going to be updated soon. Watch this space. Or, better, watch that space.
• Yoritomo Kurak...Kurakaeh...Kurashahshsh...Gordon has a new l5r site, with a wonderfully bilious background.

• www.irishgaming.com hasn't much to do with l5r, but there are a few l5r convention scenarios available for download there. More importantly, irishgaming.com has the infamous igaming mailing list. If you're in Ireland, and want to know what's going on, check out this site.
• www.gamingoutpost.com is my preferred gaming news site. It's got some once-lively and fun forums, regular news updates, and the occasional good article. I run a fairly quiet l5r discussion forum there. Oh - and El Wick, the guy who wrote l5r, hangs out there flaming people. Always fun.
• www.tasteslikephoenix.com is just...odd....but have a look at their reviews. Surprisingly insightful and cogent reviews of some l5r stuff there. If I have time, I'll do something similar to those reviews.
• Memento Mori Theatrix has nothing whatsoever to do with L5R, but it's worth having a look at for the twisted ideas.
