Warlord TaKtiX

I am going to start using this again. Yes, I am.

I could have sworn that I posted here yesterday, but apparantly blogger must have eaten it. Oh well.

I’ll try and post stuff more regularly to this page from now on, what with KoHIT coming up and all.

My, it has been a while since I updated this blog at all. I suppose that I really should do something about that, especially with Light & Shadow out and KoHIT approaching. But will that be worth it? Is there anyone out there actually reading this? If there is, please make yourselves known.

Friday saw a tiny four player draft of L&S take place here - this time of year means that one of the student players are in town, since the summer holidays call them home. Still, it went well enough, even if Chris and I both used Kara Wadreth as our warlord and were fighting over the available Free Kingdoms characters.

Hmm, been a while since I updated this. Almost two months! I’ll get better in the future, I promise. Tonight, I guess the fact that I had to slog through updating these blogs for Blogger’s new Google features (whatever they are) was kharma’s way of punishing me.

Well, I took second place in an eight-person tournament in Barnstaple on the weekend. Not the weekend just gone, but the one before. Shows just how much I’d forgotten about this here blog. Still, so long as I’m updating more often than Dyer, it’s all good…

How many decks can one have assembled before they become too many? Now finding that I can’t fit all my Warlord decks into one Battle Box, I’m asking myself that question.

Of course, one wants a variety of decks assembled in order to prevent the possibility of boredom that inevitably arises from playing the same deck over and over again. hence why I have some decks assembled from each faction and every class. That does mean that my humble collection of rare cards is stretched somewhat thin, however; not all my clerics can have access to Sieze Life, not all my assassins can dish out a Knife After Dark, etc. This may lead to some sub-optimal decks, but so long as they’re fun, who cares? And since I still have spare Spencers and Dominy’s, I can build plenty more FreeK decks, at least…

In honour of the Stolen Destinies Dev week, you’ll find a Dev-related new fiction up at the Alderac forums. Penned as it is by Jon Sherefkin, author of the Skyyrek story, I urge you all to go and read it, as it’s told with his customary flair.

Up at the Warlord main page, there is a chance for people to submit their own ideas for the name of the latest Medusan Lord, a rather badass NoThRoG scout. Just be mindful that the closing date has now been extended to the 21st of this month, so don’t be thinking that you’ve missed your chance!

While you’re over at the site, you can also see the images for the warlords from the forthcoming Plane of Secrets expansion. Pretty cool, eh? (more…)

The Alderac Forums now feature Warlord areas alongside L5R, CoH, etc. While the Temple of Lore site may be on the fritz at the moment, there’s now somewhere new to put all your posting!

Stolen Destinies is here. Malrog Ironface, founder of the Medusan Lord conspiracy, is going to finally have his revenge on the Lands of the Accord. His is a devious scheme, involving a perfect alignment of the moons, the Plane of Secrets and the stealing of fates.
However, all is not lost. With the voting of players of the Warlord CCG (that’s you people reading this, unless you happened upon this article randomly) characters that we’ve all come to know and love can have their destinies assured, elevated to something greater than they were before.

Hey gang,

I was interviewed last week by the Groovy Gamers Groovecast. It’s a podcast dedicated to play-by-email and play-by-post games, and we talked about the Winter Court. It was a fun interview and hopefully it will bring more role-players to Rokugan. You can check it out at groovygamers.com. It’s Episode 12.

So what else is going on? Khan’s Defiance previews! (more…)
