Hey Instance!
I am a AI/robotics struggling with my master's thesis on noise estimation in high-precision pose estimation. At the same time I am lecturing AI/robotics/embedded systems courses to undergrads.
I'm enthusiastic about table top games (current fav 2p: Legend of the Five Rings; fav co-ops: T.I.M.E and Arkham Horror LCG), and most importantly, cat dad to Niks.
@pkok L5R really is fantastic.
@pkok I'm a big fan of playing monks when I can get away with it. Ise Zumi and Taoists both.
@Surasanji That sounds like the old days of... Dragon? Haven't been around for that long yet, but I'll read up on them on the wikia.
@pkok http://l5r.wikia.com/wiki/Sayings_of_the_Ise_Zumi & http://l5r.wikia.com/wiki/Tao_(Notable_Quotes)
I love to play that philosophical monk type who just sort of experiences life and enjoys it for what it is, outside of the politics.
That being said, there is quite a lot of fun to be had in playing minor clans, and of course the Scorpions.
@Surasanji That sounds interesting! I'll read up on the sayings another time!
@pkok They're largely based on Zen Koans and various real world taoist sayings- but very telling of the major religion of Rokugan. Good stuff, I recommend it. :)
@Surasanji YES! Since this cycle I'm experimenting with being a filthy gaijin again! What's your clan?
