Answer: They will not ignore taboo sorts of romances in the story. This goes into their themes of ninjo (personal feelings) vs giri (duty.)
I'm just hoping romances in general won't be the focus of most of the stories.
Question: Can skills become a negative value?
Answer: They are considered zero when you need to reference them, but the negative modifier remains when figuring out if bonuses later cancel it out or not (I think I got that right?)

Answer: Cannot be splashed.
Actually, it's "clan-aligned conflict cards without influence" that cannot be splashed.
Obviously, neutral cards can still be included.
Question: Do traits have rules?
Answer: No, none at all by themselves. But other cards key off traits.
Lion is next. Arasou, Tsuko, and Toturi show up next week in the fiction.
Card preview going on for Lion but I can't see the image in the comment box...

Answer: Varies. (Non-answer?)
He mentioned that you can take actions in the dynasty phase, which I believe is what the person asking that question in the forum was getting at anyway.

Rules questions that were in the Lingering Questions thread have been updated in the OP.

Good catch. I missed the point of the question, it seems...

I'm glad it was a help! I have to put my weird work schedule and non-US time zone to good use somehow.
Edited by Suzume TomonoriGetting mentioned twice? Look at all my glory now! Lucky me that I am with the crane, so now I play a Way of the Crane on me and go wreck some provinces!

This going to be headache enducing at times. So many people are going to get this wrong or mess it up.

It's how negative values work for all of their LCGs. It's not that tough.
You apply all modifiers to the value. Add up all those +s and -s! End result, if it's below zero, becomes zero. That's it.
If a new + or - gets thrown on the pile, add it all back up. Is it above zero yet? Congrats, now it's whatever it is. Is it still below zero? Then it's zero.

Eh... probably not. It works the same way in MTG and L5R CCG.

I do not know why, but that explanation was so much clearer/easier to me. Thank you.

I would love to see Toturi and Toku being shipped. But I guess that is just a fantasy of mine, wonder what other here think could be the actual shipping they might have already in mind, at least if it contains character we already know from the old canon?
Just now, Drudenfusz said:I would love to see Toturi and Toku being shipped.
That would explain why Toku got special treatment.
What I'd like to see is Toturi and Hotaru having the same friendship Toturi and Hoturi had, and for it NOT to turn romantic just because of the gender-swap.
Lion is a great breeding ground for potential gay characters. There is a lot of brothers in the arms fantasy to tap in. Ditto for Crab; love in face of war and love in face of marching onis sounds like bittersweet stories that really would fit their clans.

Why do they need to ship anybody? Not all characters need to have romance be major parts of their stories. There are other sorts of interpersonal relationships.

Sure, I am not saying that everybody should get shipped, just asking for who people would like to see being shipped.
So, lets start the shipping wars!
