Re: The Left Hand's Path - Crane Story Paths
Claiming to be Emperor doesn't make you so. Being a legitimate Emperor of Rokugan requires the approval of Tengoku. Are you expecting this to be forthcoming in Kanpeki's case? I agree, becoming the Emperor is no easy task for anyone, even for Daigotsu. But as Kakita Shiro pointed out, we do not hav...

Re: The Left Hand's Path - Crane Story Paths
Siding with Kanpeki is not honourable. It is, in fact, the sacrifice of honour on the altar of ambition. The Crane serve the Emperor... and Kanpeki is not the Emperor. Seiken is. Kanpeki is a Tainted usurper with no claim to the title at all. If what you want is a story about the Crane sacrificing ...

Re: The Left Hand's Path - Crane Story Paths
I voted for option 2. The roots of the Crane clan lie in Rokugan, not in the colonies. In court, not in the battlefield. In plain light, not hiding behind etas. We are one of the, if not the, most conservative clans. Not so much by choice than by necessity. We are the heart and soul of the Empire. W...

Re: Public Letter From Doji Makoto
How does supporting a warmonger who believe in solving all his problems by military strength fits the Crane's "clan identity" again? Seiken's actions stand against everything we stand for. Seiken's action stands against crane's value. Shibatsu's political base is no strong enough to be re...

Re: [TF] The Esteemed Palace of the Crane (Stronghold)
Hmmmm. IDK. I was very happy with this at first, but I've been thinking. 1. In concept, I LOVE this stronghold. Bow for 2 Honor. That's all I really want from a stronghold, especially in an environment were Sensei are adding additional modifiers. No longer being dependent on Holding Honor (which I'...

Re: Ivory 2 "20 Festivals" SH Previewed at worlds (Plus)
Not a huge fan. At the moment, there are not that many fate cards that provide honor gains and dynasty side only 3 holdings that do so. As it currently stands, bowing the stronghold to produce a gain of 2 is far to costly with out enough benefit. The New Order may change this, my first impression o...

Re: Choosing an Heir
Seiken all the way. He may be a militaristic hot headed jerk (personal opinion, but remember the emerald championship), but I think he still is the best option. The crane clan has its roots in and gets its power from the imperial court. As far as politics is concerned, the colonies are a bad place f...

Re: Okay seriously, how does crane honor beat dishonor.
Problem is, you cannot in the long run. Dishonor has access to recursive dishonoring tools, we only have one rehonoring one, which only works as a limited action (The Turquoise Court). Extended to infinite time, once both decks are fully in play, all your personalities are going to be dishonored, an...
