So, how do you see this functioning? A new system
of it's own? with hexes (ala "Arcane Background: Shootist")? or something
similar to that, but with Elightenment? would Western Kenjetsu powers be
enlightened powers, but specialized for these swordsmen, kind of like how
Shootist and Metal Mage hexes are the same deal, but specialized?
(at least I think that's that's how Shootists work.
I haven't actually read Lone Stars, but from what people have been saying,
that's what it sound like to me.)

At the moment I'm working on a bunch of arcane
backgrounds but I've done a fair bit on one of them. I thought I'd post the
basic idea and mechanics to the tender mercies of this listserv
;)
The Western Kenjetsu Initiate
Background
Ever since the beginning of 1878 rumours and
tales of strange men and women carrying even stranger swords wandering
the west. These tales, from all parts west of the bloody ol' muddy are very
similar. The people in question are always similar in one area, though they
might be whites, asians or even injuns. The swords they carry. They always
carry two, one longer than the other. The swords are strangely curved and the
people carrying them call them their "daisho".

If you're not interested, well then I
apologise for taking up your valuable time and bid you a good
evening.
Thanks all for you time,
