We have about three level 10 events coming up for the month of August.

Create a Champion (Minor Clans) - July 26th Santiago Chile
Masterpiece - July 19th Kalamazoo MI
Lost Legends - July 26th

Hehe I think I've covered most of the updates for this week but if I missed anything drop me a PM and I'll get it updated.

Masters of Magic and Art of War

The RPG newest book Masters of Magic is slated for a November release. Also Art of War (previously titled Emperor) is the L5R board game. This set is slated for a September release.

Gen Con Oz Results

Gen Con Oz was won by Richard Chan for the Mantis. Moshi Amika will hear the last words of the dying Sun. The Imperial Yojimbo side event was also won by Richard Chan. Tsuruchi Mochisa will be Seppun Kiharu's Yojimbo.

The top 4 for this event should be advance to the Samurai Championship finals in November.

Richard Chan - Mantis
Carl Harris - Unicorn
Shane Pheeney - Crab
Martie van der Leest - Scorpion

Dan Juleff (Scorpion) was fifth place and should be the alternate for this event.

July 4th Weekend Events

Abit late but here are the story results from last weekend. In Greece the The Mouzaka Championship: A Fork in the Road was won by Panos Georgopoulos for the Crab. Panos chose Kaiu Taru to be approached by Muzaka and will receive a vision of impending disaster.

Oh and for the story portion of that prize ....

The Fortunes are fickle, mysterious creatures.

Every year, the Fortune of Enigmas, Muzaka, takes human form and walks among the people of Rokugan, never revealing his presence until he finds the one person he seeks. When he finally selects the one person that he wishes to speak to, Muzaka challenges them to a friendly game of riddles, or perhaps a puzzle. The nature of the contest varies every year, but it is always some manner of enigma. If the individuals declines, the Fortune moves on to find another, and the subject never realizes that he has had a brush with divinity. Few refuse, however, for something about Muzaka compels others to participate in his games, no matter how dire the circumstances otherwise. For those who defeat the Fortune in a simple game, the truth is revealed, and Muzaka offers a prize to the victor: a chance to glimpse events that have not yet taken place.

Sometimes the vision is of great things yet to come, and the responsibility for ensuring that this comes to pass falls upon the winner of the duel.

Sometimes the vision is of terrible things that will befall a family, or a clan, or the entire Empire, and the only one who can prevent these things is the winner.

The vision is a burden, and has destroyed more than one winner in the centuries since Muzaka began his strange games. What the ultimate purpose is, none can say, but the simple fact of the matter is that no one who encounters the Fortune is ever the same again.

The winner of this tournament may select any one living, non-unique personality currently affiliated with his faction. That character will be challenged to a duel of games by Muzaka, the Fortune of Enigmas. The winner may choose whether the personality sees a vision of great things to come, or of impending disaster. Either way, it will be the duty of that personality to try and steer the course toward or away from the events of the vision.
