I guess I'm splashing Crab then. Sorry, Kitsuki Investigator..you're like cool and all, but Watch Commander is unlimited honorloss..i like discard and all but straight up slandering is my thing..its not you, its me.. Also, FFG..please add more flavor text in cards..the small things really help picture the setting a lot..also from the old game:

Its He Who Should Not Be Named's hand. the smoke at the end is foreshadowing. Or just a really big cremation pile.

Fixed

Lies, Phoenix is all about burnination and botany, Or combination of both. but mostly botany.

Tsuruchi pincushions?

nice, the Crab known for their defense and siege engines are depicted defending the wall brilliantly with such contraptions! can't wait for the Lion fic to highlight their offensive battle acumen! I just know they gonna bust balls when they go battle!

You missed the the cost of the action. take one sword stab in the gut.

One look at Mirumoto Hitomi and we see a long distance relationship blooming.

The strap that held the mempi in place in the helmet was snapped and the daimyo carefully lifted the mask aside. The retainer gasped and Kisada was deeply grateful that the man's exclamation covered his own shock. "Psyche!!! Totally got you there Gramps! Also you're welcome I killed that Oni you are having a hardtime fighting" shouted Doji Hotaru as she springs back up to her feet. before Kisada could recover his wits, a shout is heard inside the courtyard. "Doji-sama! Thank the fortunes! We got ambushed on our way here, did we miss anything?" Daidoji Nerishima asked.

Crabs and BDSM has a long history..

I see that you haven't touch your Jade Petal Tea..and it has gone cold. would you like a new one?

Yokuni is really a Scorpion Ninja. We invite the Kitsuki Investigator to Ryoko Owari and we gonna steal some Kitsuki Method. Great previews, Dragon retain their ability to confuse with a lot of sequence timing and decision-making to give their opponent migraines. Awesome.

I hate that Covert is Stealth from AGoT.

Err why 2 glory..assuming the Dragon is losing, 3 province broken and revealed, opponent swings for the Stronghold which reveals its province card..now the Dragon has only one unrevealed province. and that if the opponent don't chump scout the last province to reveal it before the main conflict on the SH.

I don't think failing to occupy the city and banishing the defender and getting the Lion Champion killed can be considered a clan win..but i'm no Lion. And oh, for those complaining Hotaru was very inexperience in the first fiction, I wonder how many xp is a Lion champion worth? And that touch of tear of sorrow from her as he double tap his friend's brother..i think its genuine..she felt sorrow and regret that Satsume, his father could not see how she easily murderkill Arasou

It says during a conflict.

Good defensive bow. I wonder if Cranes will use this? With the title and all

Because the Lion aren't just threatening your boarders but your story threads too.

Well..it might not be in the story but when they build up him up with the "No army can withstand the stratagem of the Lion's brilliant new general,Akodo Toturi" in the launch article, I expected it to be such. He was supposed to be champion originally by the law of succession but the Lion don't want him as champion..only by his YOUNGER brother's death did he became champion. also, when a family daimyo risks lives to seek your counsel and help with all the Clan's problem which is supposed to be Yokuni's to solve really..and he gives you some cryptic line, makes him a ****** for me. which makes it a good character I can hate more. so yeah, Yokuni is a ********, Hitomi's control of his temper, Masashige's ( gonna die in this campaign ) concern from the smallest to the biggest problem of the Clan, Mitsu's abs and Kazue jedi mind trick, Unicorn and Phoenix clan drops without any bloodshed. Good work, Kinzen!

Electronic and synth-based music from the UK in the 80's. ^^

Also the Unicorn's main export to the Dragon are widows/widowers. so there's that.

So glad I never had a Champion like Yokuni. Poor Mirumoto daimyo though..dutiful as ever yet treated as such..

I think I've said enough from answering original question, to the alleged lack of diversity, to why xenophobia works in Rokugan..and now its artwork. Like i said the shifting goalpost is confounding and its time to fly away..like kamalakar..in his flying carpet.

Why are you looking for an argument here? I am merely syating the fact that the shifting goalpost here is confounding.

Very confounding indeed.
