They aren't deleted (thankfully). :) They can actually be found here. A little while ago AEG moved over to a different forum system, so the old stuff had to be archived in a different place.

So as far as I understand it, many of us will become available some time next week. Me (as in both twins) should be available next week. My first goal will be to setup the Wiki. However, the hard and arduous part is going to be populating it. Tsukaede and I talked about creating the general sections for rulings (like Skill Swapping, Kata Rules, Initiative) and then slots for specific things (like Clan Schools, Spells, Kihos, Kata). I figure that I will have to populate the Wiki with old rulings by sequentially going through each ruling. If anyone has a better idea to setup a Rules Archive, I'm open ears. *shameless plug* BTW, the door's still open for a few more JB to join us. There is a column intended to answer the most frequent questions about L5R RPG rules and explain them in details (L5R for Dummies, if you will) that hasn't found many takers to write for it. I would be happy to help out now and then, as I'm sure most of us would.

Good to know that they didn't dump the old rulings. Too bad they didn't put them in some useable form, like say....a comprehensive erratas. /sarcasm off Assuming that we can call the argument on one side or another on some of the stikier rulings (like skill swapping), I don't think there should be any problem with a quick write-up plus revision. I am not familiar with the current rule headaches. If you would not mind listing the major ones, I would appreciate it.

I'm in too. I may be of only limited help for a little while though as 99% of my L5R collection is currently in a storage unit.

Kakita Seigi-san it seems that your dream will come true. Just speaking of it made some disapeared to come back to life.

It's good to see things getting started back up here. I'll do what I can to help, as well, though my time has has become pretty limited these days.
