House Rules for Fun and Profit

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

I recall this being, if not an actual official rule, a common house rule among my fellow Old5R players, which I will put into New5R terms:

Forced Reaction: After you say "tap" in stead of "bow," "tapped" instead of "bowed," "untap" instead of "ready," or "untapped" instead of "readied": lose 1 honor.

It's way more brutal now than it was back then, when Honor was on a -19-to-40 scale.

I love it, personally. I'd never enforce it, but I love the idea of it. How 'bout y'all?

Also, calling fate- mana

"I can put this on the stack right?!"

Magic the Gathering may have been my "gateway", but L5R for life! :D

My problem is that I've been calling Void Points in the RPG fate recently b/c of the card game... lol

How about an additional penalty where if someone actually enforces this rule they have to mill 5 cards from the library of their opponent's choice.

My Kitsu Spiritcaller and Ikoma Eiji would be fine with that. :D

More pONIs in the best place for them, the discard? I'm ok with this. :lol:

I thought the best place for them was sad and in the box right next to my Wandering Ronin? ;)

Nope. You only truely appreciate the pONI's pain when it looks like that Cavalry Reserve will save you and it gets canceled.......leaving you an empty fate pool.

Yeah I've been the cause of that pain more than once. The look of hope being slowly crushed when I say "wait just a second" when they are just about to grab their discard pile is truly satisfying.

At least the Unicorn can try to control the favor and keep Censure for back up. Hopefully that will allow for them to actually play their bomb events and get to resolve them.
