(this isn't going to be on topic for the most of you.. but someone my know something)

Was going to put this in obscure knowledge.. but I may as well put it out there in its own thread..

AEG released a book for L5R at Gencon 2012 call Whispered Secrets, they might have used it for a tourney? maybe..
It was a "Gencon Exclusive" Does anyone know anything about it??

My memory is not good on this but I think I checked on this. They said they were supposed to release it but it was held up for some reason.

Looks like I'll be adding another to your want list (unfortunatly)

here you go.. its seems that when they the 15th ed books you could buy 9 of them with the different Clans on the back..
15th ed, Crab
15th ed, Crane
15th ed, Dragon
15th ed, Lion
15th ed, Mantis
15th ed, Phoenix
15th ed, Scorpian
15th ed, Spider
15th ed, Unicorn

However.. they did print a limited number that were given to the writers etc.. this one has the imperial crest on the back..a Chrysenthem..

Sorry for the pic.. best I have at the momentt..

So you think this was some introductory module for their new 4th Edition release?

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

Did you ever find a copy of Whispered Secrets? What if this is actually a huge wind up and it doesn't really exist? That would be hilarious right?

Omg $82! Was Whispered secrets really the valuable part of that listing or was it the copy of strongholds? I can send you a text only version of it if you want. I just thought that since nobody seems to know anything about it and its called Whispered Secrets that it would be the perfect inside joke.
