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

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

The Rokugani equivalent of 'Occupy Wall St.'?

Tsuruchi pincushions?

Heck I would probably do whatever possible to support his side of the story.
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.

Unlocking the taint and the power it can lend to the feeble prayers of more traditional shugenja is second only to the understanding the intricacies of Maho. I know it is frowned on by the more recreant samurai but I for one look forward to the discoveries of the honorable Kuni daimyo.
I see that you haven't touch your Jade Petal Tea..and it has gone cold.
would you like a new one?

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.

3 hours ago, Anemura said:I think this fiction directly displays what a good tactician can do: Toturi let the Crane move past his position in order to pull Arasou back -- All to embolden the garrison to fully commit to a trap he laid for them. Impressive. Further, this was a win for the Lion because they forced the Crane army to retreat. This is a key point that need to be re-iterated.
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

3 hours ago, Bayushi Nono said:Even in the endphase of a game, this card can bow charakters with 2 glory. I think every Dragon will play this 3 times in his deck. The only real condition of this card is the fate cost and that you have to be the defender.
It says during a conflict.
-
Good defensive bow. I wonder if Cranes will use this? With the title and all

33 minutes ago, Zesu Shadaban said:I'm just confused why the thread about the dragon fiction is being hijacked to complain about the Lion fiction, when it has its own perfectly good thread for doing so... there's plenty of discussion to be had about Dragon matters to fill this thread anyhow.

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

It's actually depicted as an indecisive leader, with clear knowledge and understanding of war but poor power/strenght in leading men. He clearly thinks too much and acts "by the book", wanting to assess every single possible path before taking any decision, and failing twice in doing so due to the amount of options in front of him. He's the champion only thanks to succession laws, and he does not even seem to want the position at all
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..

1 hour ago, BD Flory said:At risk of misconstruing Ide Yoshiya's comment, I think their meaning here was more, "what are you saying?" than, "what are you fighting about?"

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.
-
2 hours ago, Ide Yoshiya said:What is the argument here? Kamalakar is gaijin. Says so right on the card. Nobody's saying dark-skinned people doesn't exist in this world, just that it's not a trait that is likely to show up in a samurai family bloodline.
Why are you looking for an argument here? I am merely syating the fact that the shifting goalpost here is confounding.

SPOILER - watch commander (art of war cast)

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:
