Corbeau posted:I bet that holdings still work on broken provinces. Also, bets on how unique characters will likely be 1x in the core starter, yet obvious 3x includes in play? I am almost sure they will be. Still might not want to 3x them always tho. in old L5R it tended to be better to 3 stack small dudes so you can swarm faster than it was to stack Uniques. That +1 fate token for free is nice but it eats up a spot that can hold another dude that turn.

They are also free buffs to the Str at that location along with an ability. The Crab one is perfect for just blocking out attackers early while you set up your plans.

jadarx posted:A thing that leapt out at me from the article is that influence is only for the conflict deck. So I wonder how they are going to handle playing out of faction cards in the dynasty side. It would be weird if you couldn't do it at all. There will be some minor mooks from other clans in the conflict deck so you can splash some there but I think all "Named" Personalities will not playable out of faction. We might see Alliance cards like what Game of Thrones has in the future to allow clan mashes.

SpaceViking posted:Hotaru looks really nasty, I can see a few combos right now, especially with Duelist Training. Duels also look like you can pull some real poo poo on your opponent. Looks like a fair trade off those as if you are winning Duels you are losing honor. They are really able to pressure a win by Honor or by Political Conflicts.

Pash posted:You can also use them as ways to gain honor. That military duelist guy honored will have a duel stat of 5. If your opponent does not have anyone with high military they are pretty much forced to bid a lot or send everyone else home. You can then just not bid, send the military guy home, and gain a bunch of honor. Honor bids are going to be the hardest part to master. So many games are going to come down to bidding too much or too little honor in the first few turns.

SuperKlaus posted:Is there a trick to telling when a card is conflict deck vs. dynasty deck? I'm not immediately seeing the visual cue that tells me Steward of Law is conflict while Hotaru is dynasty. If you look in the lower right the card will have a D or a C on it, in the copyright line area. Also if it has the bamboo influence icons it is in the Conflict Deck.

SuperKlaus posted:Someone help me out, how many cards can we expect the Crane or any other faction to have in their faction in the core set, based on past LCG cores with comparable numbers of factions like Netrunner and WH40K? We have likely seen a fair check of their kit at this point. I think we are missing 1 Province and maybe a conflict card or two. in 2 weeks we will get another spoiler like this likely for Lion. After that I think we will have the cards for test games.

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2017/6/14/masters-of-war/ Lion Spoilers are up. Looks fairly interesting and distinct from Crane (the other "combat" faction), more focused on big pushes and expendable armies. I like the theme of sticky big dudes with a bunch of expendable smaller ones. Edit: IMGUR of cards spoiled: https://imgur.com/a/qZDDb For those who are at work.

long-rear end nips Diane posted:niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice It will end up having big effects on clan's power in the meta IMO. If say Crab ends up being Keepers of Air then Honor decks might be harder to play. Seeker seems like the weaker role in the core set tho. I have a feeling all the Keeper roles will be snatched up fairly quick.

If we are going off the CCG it is also missing Naga, Spirit, Nezumi, Ninja, Shadowlands, and Monks. The mostly just rolled it back to the classic major clans for the setting reset.

long-rear end nips Diane posted:I would expect to see Mantis and Shadowlands, but nothing more than that as dedicated factions. 9 factions would only leave 2 slots for neutral cards per pack, and 10 wouldn't leave any. I can see them ending up like Micro Factions in Netrunner where they get 1-2 cards mixed into each cycle.

Sadly I had to beat Spooky in the last round. Reminds me of the first year of Netrunner. I am worried about people playing for tie breakers at Worlds. 3 Cores might speed the game up a fair bit tho.

Phrosphor posted:What do you mean by this? I don't understand what you are reffering to. https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/op/l5r-lcg/roles/ Top 2 players for each clan at Gencon voted on their clan's roles and those are what have to be used in official events till worlds when they get voted again. Roles for each clan will then change at worlds each year and no clan can take the same role twice in a row. Kind of a way to keep each year's meta fresh and L5R has always been about clans top players for clans voting on things.

BJPaskoff posted:You can only build one deck from one core set, or you need two core sets to build even one legal deck? Because either one would be a new low for FFG's core set sales strategy, but the latter would be some serious bullshit. You can build a legal 40/40 deck with one core but you will feel some hurt. You are going to want 2 cores. If you build 30/30 decks you can make 2 decks out of 1 Core. As with any LCG you will always want 3 cores if you are doing tournaments.

GrandpaPants posted:I was annoyed with Arkham Horror because so much of the extra cards are just scenario cards you'll never use. They really could have just done a single Core with that game without that much additional cost, since there really weren't that many player cards. I went single core Arkham Horror and have not really been disappointed by it. Might be a little harder to clear the scenario's that way but I don't really mind the game being harder. Value VS Cost on l5R Cores is better than Netrunner Cores at least since you don't end up with as many useless cards. Only thing you get extras of on 3 cores is Neutral cards that you might want more of anyways. You will have 6 of each Neutral meaning at 6 cores you can run 2 full powered 40/40 decks (that don't splash the same Clan) with zero wasted cards. Netrunner left me a bunch of cards I have 9 copies of with no use. 1 Core decks play just fine as well if you just want to play VS other people. You won't be as powerful but it is like playing MTG starter decks VS each other.

canyoneer posted:I like how in this hobby Warhammer and Magic are used as high water marks for spending. Most MTG players I know compare to Yugioh. Most decent legal YGO decks are in the $500 a pop range and almost never share cards with other decks. Most MTG legal top decks are in the $200 range as a comparison. You only get nuts when you are heading into the Commander or Legacy formats. Warhammer on the other hand is just insane. The people who play at my work once worked out they are paying around 3-5k a year on Warhammer, this is lower than they expected.

Bottom Liner posted:The multi-core set issues could be easily solved if FFG just made an upgrade pack available in a blister pack to give you a complete playset, just 1-2 copies of everything the core is missing, no book or tokens, etc. Almost everyone would purchase it and be much happier than being forced to buy extra cores. It would never happen though because the only thing that it changes is how much money FFG gets. It's still cost about the same as a core set after printing, shipping, etc. Logistically it is not really worth it on the already tiny margins that board games make. Plus from a marketing point if you get someone to buy 3 cores they are way more likely to justify buying the expiation packs. The "I am already so invested" effect in action.

Corbeau posted:Remember that "upgrade packs" also complicate shelf space and supply chain logistics (stores would always prefer to simplify their SKU situation) compared to just cranking out more of the same core box. FFG's strategy makes sense, but it's a big value hit for me. Just this week I pulled out my old Ashes core set with some buddies - a core set that offered playsets of every card. The main thing L5R has over that is the brand, and I'm not sure the brand is that compelling anymore. That's a personal value judgement though; for some, it clearly is that compelling. Oh man I wish Ashes had any kind of community behind it. Loved the game but there was just no competitive side of the game to keep it moving forward. But ya I agree much of the LCG model is buying into a brand. If I had not played old L5R for so long I'd likely not be nearly as into it as I am now.

alg posted:I don't mind buying three cores as I could have far more expensive hobbies (like skydiving or guns) but jeez there's no reason for such a long delay between Gencon release and wide release, and I'm sure Asmodee will still have huge supply issues just like every other game they release. Took me 6 months after release to manage to get some Netrunner cores. That is why I caved in and bought 3 L5R Cores from Gencon. Likely still going to have to wait till release to find much local play but at least I know I will be ready for Worlds once it rolls around.
