Strange Assembly - Your L5R/Tabletop Podcast

By Daramere, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game

I'd like to talk about how you never asked me to be on your show.

I blame Jay, personally.

Probably should have asked this sooner ... any particular aspect of the new L5R that folks would like to hear Jay and I talk about when we record tonight?

The expected top decks at Gencon this year. :D

Boom. You heard it here first folks.

Hopefully you'll be able to download the episode on Saturday (sorry, Friday night is occupied, so no time for editing today).

Oh nice! I really enjoy your podcast. Now I must go listen to the new episode.

Nice work!

I'm going to have a listen?

Might want to check your equipment, there was some odd squeaking at times. o.0

Really enjoyed this one! Keep up the good work guys :)

Let's hope that FFG will drop us some fuel for more episodes

Another preview article, another podcast episode reacting to the preview article:

Strange Assembly - Episode 210 - Crafting a Dynasty

(note: much shorter than Episode 209, as befits the lower level of new information).

Sorry for the delay, you will hopefully get a new one this weekend.

Also, I love that when a thread doesn't get a post for a week,it's buried four pages deep. I remember with sadness the slow decay of the clan forums. Great to see so much activity!

FYI, my power went out for hours when Jay and I were recording on Wednesday, so Episode 214* isn't going to be recorded until Saturday (sorry, but I am not going to cancel date night with my wife or my very last session with my Friday night game group just to get an episode out sooner).

*Episode 213 was coverage of CMON Expo 2017 so it didn't get its own post i this thread.

This one really has no tangents, and is also 25 minutes shorter. But those things probably have no connection to each other.

Strange Assembly - Episode 216 - Masters of War

Well done.

Though the Crab head-fake at the beginning was a little cruel :P

Super meh character at first blush. Someone convince me of his utility. How many characters worth bowing won't have attachments?

A fair amount. The stats:cost ratio isn't great, but Dragon can get attachments fairly easily and there are a decent amount of free ones so this card has some decent potential.

Am I living in some lala land? Every card spoiled for Dragon looks pretty good to me, especially this one which is a bow effect on a two cost body - feels like a staple, yet everybody seems to think their cards are weak.

Niten: Likely a 'back of the binder' card. Looks quite inefficient and situational.

You need to have this card in play, *and* with an attachment *and* have an opponent without an attachment that you want to bow.

To get an attachment you're probably having to play *another* card: so that's 3 cards (+ Fate) to bow one card. Not a great deal.
