AEG Press Release - 2015 Kotei Season: Multiple Seasons

From the AEG Website

Greetings Samurai of Rokugan!

Today, the L5R Team would like to shine the focus back on the 2015 Kotei Season… or should we say seasons. For the first time in L5R history, multiple Kotei seasons will be run in the same year. The Spring Season, as you know, will focus on the Heir-apparent’s travels throughout the Empire during the Twenty Festivals celebrating his impending coronation. During this time, you – the player – know that something truly dangerous rests on the horizon. The Empire is on the verge of sinking into darkness, and it’s up to the players to secure the most iconic of their Clan’s artifacts, strongholds and the teachings of their samurai ancestors to light the way in the future.

AEG Press Release - To Do What We Must: The Empire is Watching

From the AEG Website

In early May, we announced “To Do What We Must,” the interactive L5R novel slated for 2016, helmed by Robert “Spooky” Denton with input from fans just like you. Since that time, we’ve been looking for interesting ways to tie in what our fans are playing in L5R games into the story of the Novel. Currently, we are knee deep in the 2014 Fall Tournament Series, which is supplying us another point of interaction for the story.

Once the 2014 Fall Tournament Series is complete, we are going to take a look at the number of times each Clan was played during the whole tournament season. This means that each time you play your favorite Clan at one of these events, we add it to the count. At the end of the season, we will review which Clans saw the most table time and which Clans saw the least. This information will be used by Spooky to generate a key plot point in the Novel.

Hero Games Press Release - New Product: Jolrhos Bestiary PDF

From the Hero Games Website
 
You won’t find goblins or giants in this new book by Kestral Arts, no dragons or orcs or werewolves. What you will find are strange, unique, and exciting creatures; creatures to stir the imagination and surprise your players with. With almost three hundred different creatures from the Accursed to the Zhar, this book is packed with friend and foe, and none of them fit the usual pattern.

Scorecard Review – November 2014

The holiday season is upon us.  Starting in November gaming opportunities have become sparser and will most likely remain so throughout the rest of the year.  That being said I did pretty well at the games I did play.

Days of Wonder Press Release - Five Tribes, Stay Ahead of the Pack

From the Days of Wonder Website

Five Tribes is back in stores!

To celebrate, Bruno Cathala came up with a nugget: “The Guilds’ Guide ”


The rules of Five Tribes are simple, but each turn offers many possibilities: one will probably need a few games to master all the subtleties of moves and the various tribes’ actions. It’s indeed quite common to feel a little overwhelmed by the numerous choices facing a player in the initial turns of a first game. To give new players a leg up, Bruno Cathala wrote a little Tactics Guide which, even if it does not include any secret recipe to victory, will help them begin to make good decisions.
