"Its lips are torn and bloodied, its flesh lies rotting at the bottom of the sea. Yet he is still my Emperor, and I hear his voice foaming up from the depths of the Pit, echoed in this eternal cup of bone...Where he commands, I have no choice but to follow." From "Fu Leng's Skull"

Ugly Rumor Squashed A false rumor started online over the weekend that the DCI would make L5R tournaments best 2 out of 3 with a 15 card sideboard. This is absolutely not true.

DJH Feedback DJH is starting to make its way to the public, I thought I'd post some of the reactions I've received. Most importantly, initial reports are that the sorting in DJH seems very, very good so far. It has the usual great art, as you can see from the scans. All in all, a very high quality L5R expansion. I do, however, appear to be unable to track down two cards of the 150 in the set; I believe at this point that they just don't exist. 10:58 AM EST, I.Andy |
