DJ recommends: The Legend of Five Rings

Hey there everyone its DJ Dizzy here & this time around I'm taking a break from my usual routine to talk about tabletop gaming. One game I found myself learning is the Legend of Five Rings. (Ask questions later)

It takes place in feudal Japan & is hugely involves aspects of some other Asian cultures. The Great Clans which can be up to seven or eight clans which have a well known reputation of some kind & each of them play  a huge role depending on what warrior class the character might be in.

The five rings represent the elements such as earth, wind, fire, air,  & void but represents 8 traits such as willpower, stamina, perception, agility, intelligence, awareness, & reflexes, but can limit character development  which would be the four rings that represent the elements while void can increase a characters inner strength. A character can only advance if both rings' traits are associated with one another.

The dice system uses 10 sided dice & uses what's called a roll & keep  with that you or your opponent can decide what number of dice is rolled or kept in the game.  When the dice or die is rolled a ten  it would then 'explode' in said situation then the player can roll up to three times.

As for character creation there can be 2 ways to create it such as a dice roll to determine its attributes depending on a number of points to spend & create but you can't do this with a ronin character because they start at a higher level. Points within a character can raise its skill levels while void rings & traits do the same you can also use these to gain new skills by way of purchase.

Here's an instructional video for those who are beginners or new to the game.

So if strategy based RPG games are your thing then this is a definite recommendation its a great way to learn about strategy & character building also its a good way to pass the time when you might be bored. (I suggest playing it with a few friends.) But it is a great game no less that has a lot to offer.

Well that's my recommendation for this month which I hope you enjoy. Just thought I'd try something a little bit different this time around as I mentioned in the introduction anyway here's hoping you enjoyed it.

And to close things out here's some music inspired from the series.

Until then we'll dizzy it up again next time. So for now I'm up over & ........of course GONE!!!!

Thoughts of a DJ: Valentines Day

Hey there one & all its your friendly neighborhood DJ Dizzy here & I've got yet another though that I should get off my chest. That of Valentine's Day, Now we all want to spend time with our loved ones since its considered a 'Lovers holiday.' But what about just getting together with some good friends & celebrating it that away?

Its hard when you have to celebrate things solo then again who'd want to. It'd be nice to just go with some friends & just take in a movie or listen to some music its nothing special but at least you're not alone. Valentine's Day shouldn't always have to be about love & romance but also friendships so the thing to do is celebrate that also. There are also some hang ups that I have about it such as the fact that there's a lot of hype surrounding it saying that you have to be a couple to necessarily celebrate it well you can celebrate it alone if that's your thing but me I wouldn't mind celebrating with some friends. Just saying, A holiday is special no matter how you celebrate it.

I guess my main point is when it comes to holidays don't go believing the hype no matter what. A holiday is like any other day even if it is special so try to make it special by way of a small celebration. But then again its more about hype & spending money then it is about celebrating love you really don't need one day of the year to show someone you care about then when you should show them you care everyday of the week by any means. Even if you don't have time try to make a little bit of it by scheduling a day or week if possible.

So with that said & off of my chest here's so tunes to get you wild.

Natalie Cole- What Wild Women do

Well that's all for now feel free to comment, Until then we'll Dizzy it up next time so I'm up over &............GONE!!!
