Update: Finishing What We Started

So I'm planning to clean up Road to Ruin and eventually (whenever it gets finished) Rise of Otosan Uchi and release them so that people can play with them, put them into Sun and Moon, whatever. This basically means I'm sitting down with the old PDFs, Magic Set Editor, and a couple of AI art programs (don't want to take people's work uncredited)*, as well as a list of tweaks and changes accumulated over the last few years. 

I'm basically doing this as a hobby (way cheaper than my current hobbies of having a kid and also Warhammer), so the time frame is a bit laid back. Some of the other former designers have some involvement, but nobody from the rules team does (so far).  I also have to figure out how to do some other things I currently don't know how to do, like somehow get MSE to get templates for the newer styles of Naga and Sensei cards, as well as digital editing to put in things like correct legality bugs, the bowing symbol,  and the coin symbols on holdings (basically anything I can't do with the current MSE L5R templates I have). 

I'm pretty bad at that kind of thing, so that part might take a while. These are a few things from RtR that I've worked up. I'm also writing all the flavor text based on what the story of the expansion was meant to cover, but I'm not a writer, so be kind. 🙂

These are still subject to change because there will be very unscientific playtesting done on these cards eventually, this is more of a proof of concept for anyone who's interested.

Also have you ever tried to get an AI art program* to make a picture of a Cobra Jakla? Pure nightmare fuel. Once again, sorry about the unaligned Naga situation. They are their own clan in Onyx, promise.

PLEASE PARDON OUR DUST
