Courts of the Crane Clan

As for the Samurai Drama, your argument only work if the question is asked once. Duty or honor? If the question is "what do I want my one note archetype to be" then yes, I choose honor. But it is not a singular question. It is something that must be asked every time a samurai is faced wit...

Having a theme be out there is something totally under design's control. If there simply isn't a Crane dueling theme, a Crane honor theme, or what have you, that's something that can legitimately be complained of. But that Crane's better decks have ended up being one thing instead of another? The de...

And since the Walk with the Light path is polling at something like 20% on the Spider boards (which is probably an overstatement of its support), there is no particular reason to think that Kanpeki will turn his back on Jigoku (since that was only something that might happen if the Spider chose Wal...

It's on the L5R Facebook group. Dave gives an example that the Scorpion will not just suddenly forget how to use the Bitter Lies technique just because the Mantis "control" it (and I would agree with Shiro that this contradicts Dan's l5r.com post stating that only the winning clan will hav...

The latest episode of the Strange Assembly podcast is now available for download!
