Hidden City Roller Derby - A Legend of the Five Rings podcast

Sup roller-derbizens Today we do something a bit different and we try to break the scorpion metagame.  Did we build the worst deck in history?  Possibly.  Did it only take us two hours? most definitely.  Step right up for for the second greatest show in the world.  They said it couldn't be done, well, I present to you the bearded lady of podcast episodes! :) The result: https://www.bushibuilder.com/l5r/deck/?deck=0c40eb7c-d56e-11e9-ae5c-020c407d2d9d&public=y

Hey Roller-Derbizens, We're back for part two of our cast for this weekend.  Today we catch up with the Khan down under and talk about all things Kotei related; from Sydney to Poland.  Don't forget to check out the write ups on imperial advisor. "There has never been a winter march such as this," the Khan said to his men. "We shall take the capital, and be remembered forever!" Linked below is the Khan's decklist and writeup: https://www.bushibuilder.com/l5r/deck/?deck=595a2d90-bca9-11e9-b8e2-020c407d2d9d&public=y

The more astute of you may have noticed the recently we name our episodes after old5R card names.  I was searching for a good name for this episode when what did I find? https://oracleofthevoid.com/oracle/#cardid=2257,#hashid=48b201dc093bec02321dbcce75c3bf0c,#cardcount=13 We're going to do a double episode this week to make up for all that lost time.  In today's episode we'll discuss GenCon, the Echoes deck (Firequackers!) and the new role selections. Tomorrow we'll talk to Paul who is the new Australian Khan of Khans when we will also mix into the discussion some of the questions solicited on Facebook.
