Are samurai good for RPing?
My GM says the next game he's running is gonna have us play samurai in 1800ish Japan which is fine and all but I can't help but feel it might be a bit samey for everyone.
"Oh you're a samurai? So am I."
"Cool, what weapon do you use? No way I use a katana too."
"Yeah I guess we can all strive towards the same goals set out by Bushido."
"Man all of us being lawful neutral is great isn't it?"
Anyone done something like this before where the players are essentially the same person following the same code? Can it work? Any advice?
