This sticky is for the basics of what is intended in this forum. Emerald Empire Edition is meant to be a for fun, stand alone card set based around the Emerald Empire Facebook game. It is designed around the current edition of the Legend of the Five Rings card game. which just means that I will be seeking to keep the effects and terms current (ie, no double chi, no legacy holdings, etc). A few quick notes, which I will add to if need be;
1) Each thread posted that is dedicated to cards is for that and that alone. I will have an OOC thread all about card discussion, art posting, questions, suggestions, etc.
2) I will take suggestions, but that is all they will be, suggestions. Because I want to keep the cards balanced, and because I have themes in mind for clans and the personalities within them, not everyone will be exactly how they want to be.
3) There has been talk before about making cards with art and the works for these (Kinen and Haruka, looking at you two!). If things should start off with those, I will likely make a thread for that, or, link the cards in the threads with the original text.
4) While I have designed things as much as possible to be balanced, I have not play tested these in any way. Should anyone wish to, please let me know! I realize at the time of this writing there's not enough cards for a game, but should it come to that, I'd love balance.
I might add more notes, but that's all for now!

I'm aiming to flesh out the personality base some more. Today's addition are 3 more Scorpion personalities, making a total of 6!
1) Bayushi Matashi is a 3F courtier than has the samurai keyword as well, and has built in dishonor redirect. With all the Scorpion cards that will target your honorable personalities, that makes Matashi a great protection.
2) Bayushi Sasori is a great boxable help for the military deck Kagoki allows. At 4F for 4G for a Scorpion player, he's got a force to gold ratio to kill for. Add in his send home protection with the favor (which you can have most of the time anyway), and he can be an early game nightmare.
3) Shosuro Aroru is another reactive Scorpion, and the first ninja. With Painted City's built in redirecft, Aroru makes for a tailor built redirect target. He won't always avoid whatever happens, but with the movement option and force/chi pump, he can take quite a bit.

Part 2 of the personality expansion project sees an expansion on the Crab to bring them to a total of 6 as well!
1) Hida Baramo - Baramo works out of either Stronghold, but he has a nice synergy with the Kuni one, as well as Kaymar. His send home goes through attachments, so pump him up and have at it!
2) Hida Yagimaki - Yagimaki is the only personality I've done so far that already HAS an actual card, but this one's for EE. He's a 4F Hero AND Tactician with a built in reaction that works with Lone Candle to make anyone think twice about personality destruction.
3) Kaiu Tekkusu - Tekkusu is boxable, but he lacks a lot of the good Crab keywords. In trade off however, he has a pretty useful battle ability for a boxable, one that goes right through attachments.

First it was an update to 6 Scorpion, then 6 Crab, now we have 6 Dragon!
1) Mirumoto Katsutoshi - Katsutoshi fits in nicely in Suigeki Toshi. Not only is he a Kensai to make use of all the weapon tokens one can get, but he's a fairly powerful Duelist with a outright bow effect if he's won one that turn.
2) Mirumoto Machu - Machu actually works as well from Suigeki Toshi as he does from either of the Phoenix Clan decks. His open effect allows for military shugenja to be very hard to get rid of for your opponent. Add in the discount for Phoenix plus the yojimbo keyword, and you have truly a shugenja's best friend.
3) Tamori Koichi - The third loyal Dragon, Koichi really is thbe Daimyo made for Suigeki Toshi. Not only does he use the Stronghold weapon creation for free, he makes those weapons quite a bit better in battle, plus allows for weapons to be used for their printed ability PLUS something else if need be.

I'm still trying to figure out how I want to do that Yoee. I don't want to make a habit of changing cards everytime something happens or else things might get confusing. Still, for such a large position, I can see it being worth the effort. I'll look into it tomorrow. Can we keep this sort of discussion to the OOC thread for the future? I want this one for updates only. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Well, no decision yet on what to do with keeping things current (sorry Yoee), but I have 2 more clans updated. Unicorn got 2 more to go to 6, and Spider got 2 more to go to 5 (waiting on one more!). 1) Daigotsu Tsuneki - I feel a little bad deciding he's a courtier though he hasn't posted in a while, but at the same time he's the perfect addition to the Ruined Palace deck. If you can get their people dishonored you have a guaranteed honor gain with the Stronghold! 2) Goju Carutar - I refuse to just use Carter, but that sounds plausible enough. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Carutar is a breeder deck hanger-on, but bowing a zombie to Rout someone can be pretty good. 3) Moto Hoburo - With no Ide around, and his labeling himself as one, Hoburo gets to be a pony courtier. His limited action is very nice against open bows or for personalities with limited bows that could be just as well used in battle. 4) Moto Kazehito - Another personality that works well with Bikami, the stronghold's tokens pay perfectly for his bow. With that being the only cost, and the fact that it goes through attachments and destroys tokens, I think he works out well.

Muscle & Steel and Cavalry for Hire in one personality? Isn't that overpowered? ^_^

Hehehe yeah... you got me pegged. CFH and M&S are two of my favorites... thinking of was to use something to that effects. Anyways... after reading more of the cards, which at first I didn't know... its very balanced and my only objection is my honor and the honor of some of the other BM honor. Can't wait to see the new KHAN CARD.
