Just now, phillos said:While they are clearly kicking the Cranes and Unicorn's butts (and all the clans respect their military might) in the story it feels like they concentrate on the incidents where the other clans come out on top against the Lion in the fictions almost always. That makes it feel like the Lion are always losing even though most of the time they are winning. I think it's easily fixed. I've been wanting more low level military POVs from the Lion to help capture those sorts of stories and also communicate why a Lion would be proud. What is it they treasure about their clan and their culture? I think there's a wealth of meat on the bones for Lion stories that haven't been told yet without pushing the narrative further. I like Toturi, but it feels like he steals much of their screen time unfortunately. A Lion RPG supplement would help greatly as well. I hope that comes sooner rather than later considering I feel like it's the clan least explored right now in the new continuity.
I think the clear hole in the fictions for the Lion is magnified by their lack of competitive performance in the card game. Hopefully that's fixed now that their clan pack as been announced. They have been getting a flood of new card support.
In terms of a Lion RPG supplemental product, I suspect one will be coming down the pipe in the next 1 to 2 years
FFG seems to be pairing 1 major clan, 1 minor clan, and one deep delve into an aspect of Rokugan with each supplemental product release so far.
Emerald Empire: General Info On Rokugan + Imperial Family Clan Info + Fox Minor Clan Info
Shadowlands: Info On The Shadowlands + Crab Clan Info + Falcon Minor Clan Info
Courts Of Stone: Info On Rokugani Politics/Diplomacy + Crane Clan Info + Deer Minor Clan Info
The Lion one will likely come either in the middle or the end of the current supplemental product run.
It will probably be paired with a deep dive into Rokugani warfare.
As to the minor clan paired with them who knows.
