The irony to me to me is, If he was bashing her with a tetsubo no one would say boo about it.

The funny to me is, IN context it pretty much WAS a pimp-slap

(AUTHORS NOTE; While I don't advocate pimps slapping people (espescially women)

I DO, however, advocate slapping pimps at every opportunity.)

Yeah, and then she ended up becoming his buddy. That can read a bit iffy. -shrug-

I know it was nice for a lot of old-school Crab players to have Kisada come back. However, to me that whole storyline prize ("the broken Oblivion's Gate will let one more spirit come back to the land of the living. Get your favorite character back!") was ridiculous. It felt like a cheesy, poorly-written comic book storyline.

Oh, it was I agree.

But, without it we would'nt have had Death at Koten so...*shrug*

gotta take the bad with good.

Could one of you extremely talented people make an alternate art card for "Eager Scout" with a Nezumi on it please? (In honor of their "appearance" in the Crab Clan fiction)

I just reread the story, where did the nezumi appear? I couldn't find it

Top of page 8. They were digging pit traps it seems to help with the fortifications. They aren't called out explicitly by name. You have to noticed that Kisada sees furry shapes run back into the tunnels, and that it was the Hiruma Daimyo's plan to ask for their assistance.

Given this thread is for fanmade cards, I'm pretty sure it's not a real card, just his idea for one.

Oops, you're right. I thought he was saying their were 2 new cards revealed, seeing as it was Court Games, and I didn't bother to read that it was a fan version of it.

Yeah, we (and I very much include myself in that) need to be careful with the names of fan card ideas, or at least make it very plain when they're not at all text from real cards.

This thread still seems like the best place to post alternate art versions of real cards, for now at least. I'll try to make it more blatantly obvious when I'm posting an alternate art version of a real card, and when I'm just posting silly stuff I made up.

Speaking of alternate art cards, here's one for Mirumoto Raitsugu. No offense intended to the artist of the real card, but I really don't care for the piece. This alt features one of my all-time favorite depictions of a Mirumoto bushi, by Michael Komarck. Sadly, the art was on a lackluster card in 'Old5R'.

Photoshop to layer the source image with the template way up-thread. And to merge the layers.

Most of the work is done in Paint after that to copy and paste the different elements together. (I'm not an expert at Photoshop and paint is easier for me.)

Here's another alternate art (with some flavor text) for Banzai.

I like the quote, but I would recommend flipping it from a double negative to a positive statement. As is, it took me a few moments to process the sentiment behind it.

Yeah, I have a habit of making a lot of characters use imperfect speech, because I feel it feels more "real" to me. However, I do it too often and sometimes make it *too* flawed.

It would probably be a lot easier to read as: "Honor? Glory? They are simply tools true samurai use to fulfill their duty."

Here's a proxy (with alternate art) for Outwit, a card shown in the rulebook:

So Crab are the no true scotsman of Rokugan?

Hmmm.... I not sure if that fits the Clan better or the Crab playerbase.

It can't be both?????

An alternate image (and such) for Doji Challenger:

An idea for an Oni (this is based on the idea that Shadowlands characters can be added to anyone's Dynasty deck).

Despite the cost, that feels incredibly powerful with basically a free combo to bow/ discard any character you want. Might need a cost limit on one or both abilities, the second ability for sure. As it stands now, this is really a huge cloud the mind magnet.

It is a lot to put on a single character, even a very expensive unique.

Here's another variation of it:
