Temptation Cards

Crab and Dragon players rejoice. These cards, now posted on AEG's main page will be shipped to you directly. These cards look wonderful and start going out in may. They become legal when Words and Deeds becomes legal.

Makes one wonder what the Scorpion or Mantis would have gotten.

Kotei Results: 4/26

The Kotei results from this weekend are in:

In Rio Rancho, New Mexico, Chris Pepe took the Book of Fire for the Dragon, defeating Scorpion Paul Merchant. Other points went to Dan Merchant playing Dragon (Spirit and Knowledge), Jacob Claussen playing Unicorn (Politics) and Michael Brown playing Scorpion (Economics).

In Moscow, Danila Hmyl takes the first ever victory for the Spider, claiming a warning missive from Asahina Sekawa from Anton Tamarov playing Mantis. Other points go to Natasha Abramova (Spirit, Politics) playing Phoenix; although she wanted to give her points to the Scorpion, it's highly likely that that won't be allowed; Nikolay Roganov playing Crane (Knowledge); and Dmitry Chizhevsky playing Lion (Economics).

And in Nebraska, Chris Fuchs playing Lion has beaten the AEG forum's Domotai, also playing Lion, although there's no word yet on what Chris has chosen. The points went to Scorpion (Knowledge), Lion (Politics) and Crab (Economics), with the Spirit point going to... Hare. The point received by the Hare will not go to any of the great clans, and be lost to the ether.

L5R Card Strategy

And here we have it. Chris Russell has started a new blog (mayhaps our sister blog? ;) ). This blog called In Time of War is a CCG Strategy blog. It's whole intent and purpose is to help you the player become a better player. I've read it, I like it. I endorse it. It gets my two thumbs up. So check it out sometime if you're looking for card help.
