Courts of the Crane Clan

Well, not just an L5R podcast anymore, but all of the posts here will be about L5R episodes.

James Donnithorne-tait - Kotei Winner and maker of the cut at approximately 17 other Kotei this year - stops by to talk The Coming Storm, Kotei season, GenCon, story prizes, tournament structure, and other L5R matters.

I'm not a native speaker and I had to admit defeat in this episode. The audio quality was utterly frustrating. Would it be possible to get a summary of sorts?

Yeah, JDT's audio did not come out as clear as I would have liked. Not sure what happened, since it seemed fine at the time we were recording (well, there was some annoying and unexplained beeping from time to time, but I think I was able to remove all of that). My apologies. Unfortunately, there isn't really any good way to summarize, since it was basically us bouncing around from card to card and topic to topic.

Really enjoyed this, thanks Chris. Also thumbs up for the discussion of involvement and formats for the various parts of tournaments. As a newer player some of the points were especially interesting.

Chris and Jay talk about all the L5R action coming up at GenCon 2014.

You can read the long version on the SA website () which will link you to the actual auction, but the short version is that I put up a stint as a guest host on the podcast as a charity auction item, and by bidding on it you'll not only be helping out fellow gamers (and their families) in need, but also helping let the broader board game community know that L5R still rocks on the charity front. The exact auction link is . So check it out! Thanks!
