    Holy S***! Ummmm.... Thank you? A little speechless here. I still think "A God... Rebuilt":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/a-god-rebuilt deserves it a lot more then my own campaign.

    I browsed through Changing history earlier this week and found it quite impressive! Think I could stand by such a vote ;)

    Thanks everyone. I still think Killlervp's A God Rebuilt deserves it more then my own (It have 5x the number of fans mine does!). Out of curiosity how is the whole COTM thing decided anyways?

    Wolfhound: Why did you change your picture? It confused me for a second when I saw it!

    LOL, well I changed it to an actual Wolfhound. :) Don Corleone is nice and all but it seemed to make more sense this way.

    The COTM is run by the content director, Jerry, aka Dread Gazebo, but I am sure that the others have input.
    Thanks for the kind words Jaymes.

    Thanks everyone for the continued encouragement. And wolfhound I must admit, as much as I love dogs, Don Corleone is just amazing and I liked the picture you had of him.

    Good recommendation Killer. You've done a fine job with your site Jaymes. Good luck to you. And hopefully someday Killer's site gets the plaudits it so richly deserves as well. I know everyone here has been rooting for it for some time.

    Cheers,

    NOW I don't feel guilty about being nominated as A God...Rebuilt won COTM. I will gladly take May unless I run across something that totally kicks my site's butt (which I keep finding more and more of!). Thanks killer for the nomination and congrats on your win.

    Thank you arsheesh, Beaumains and Robert for the kind words and nomination. I will do my best to keep improving the site to deserve such a reward. I am currently debating/implementing on including a defeated bestiary, converting the players over to wiki and inputting a custom bottom nav bar (based on the tutorial by arsheesh) to replace the standard one.

    Currently we are on a 2 week hiatus (1 down, 1 to go) as one player is sick and now is out of town for the week. We should start up on 11th with another easy going session before jumping back into the real action ( I have evil plans for that next session for a couple of players).

    So after almost a month hiatus because of people going across the country, people being sick, people moving in out of the blue and other shenanigans we finally had a game last week! So come on by and check out more of how my players make my brain explode (while prepping for the bar exam!) with the latest episode with sake drinking and co-ed bath house!

    Really good log- shows that rpgs are fascinating even without combat. I again highly push for COTM honors for this great campaign!

    Proud to present another great adventure log cause my players are doing interesting things. Check it out!

    "Drinking, Betting and Brawls in Kyuden Hida":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/l5r-changing-history/adventure-log/session-31

    Also I have players actually writing stuff for the campaign (besides updating their character sheets) so I am quite happy about that...it only took a year.

    After a nice summer vacation and some lazyness on my part (I still have an adventure log to write and we have a session tomorrow!) Changing History is back online with a whole 3 session long log! At the time of this posting there is a combat missing at the end that Tesoe (aka Akodo Akio) is currently working on. As a note to people this was actually an official L5R premade adventure that I slightly modified and stuck inside my campaign...

    "Silence within Sound":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/l5r-changing-history/adventure-log/session-40-41-42

    As a side note as I bugged Tesoe today about writing the battle scene, because Killervp was complaining about it, he asked if anyone who is an actual fan and follows this campaign have a favorite character....I told him I would post the question when I updated this forum thread. So does anyone have a favorite PC from L5R Changing History? And, oh god oh god, why?

    So I made a movie about the group....not a really great one but decent. The movie is on the homepage and the explanation can be found in the latest adventure log:

    "What Happens in Nightingale Village Stays in Nightingale Village (Part 1), End of Setsuban Festival":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/l5r-changing-history/adventure-log/session-46

    This also marks the end of the Setsuban Festival Caravan arc of the story and the commencement of winter court (intrigue, murder, backstabbing and politics). Stay tuned as my players try not to have to commit seppuku!
