I have not been updating this post but I should have.

We are now up to episode 12, and nearing the end of the first story arc. It's been an good, intense, personal story, and a decent teaching one too, with mechanics for intrigues, skirmishes, and duels, and more to come.

Another new episode of Fortune and Strife is out now!
Ep.21 - Rabble Rousing

If you saw the following episode before this???? Due to a release mishap, we had to do some reordering. 😅

Episode 22 of Fortune and Strife is out now!
Episode 22, "Dead Ends"

Web: https://courtgamespod.com/podcast/fs22/

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1tI9mjTVw6jL0D5kc0O5oA

#L5RRPG #ActualPlay #TTRPG #LegendoftheFiveRings

Note: Due to a mix up, this episode came out last week and some of the ordering is a little confused. If you are following closely, the ideal order to listen to episodes 21 (Rabble Rousing) and 22 (Dead Ends) is:
Part 1: Dead Ends
Parts 1 and 2: Rabble Rousing
Part 2: Dead Ends

Again, we apologize for the mixups and hopefully will be more straight forward and clear going forward.

In this episode, this group of friends tries to figure out what to do with a Yakuza boss who...didn't do anything wrong?
