Hey! I maxed out my available daily downloads for episode 12 trying to listen to it on the iPhone. Just as I was going after the governator on full attack?!?
What happens next?!?

Yeah..yeah...oh to relive that sadness and glory all over again. Brought a tear to my salt encrusted eye...I have to say that was a great way to run a mass combat Sir G., I think the L5R system for it could be used in different games with similar positive results. Might be interesting to revisit if things at the Carpenter's Wall start to "escalate"...

Great to be listening to this, a minor side thing that I recently learns in regards to the mass battle determination
The rule is all dice rolls explode unless they specificly say otherwise in the book, the errata team forum verified that for me when I was asking about initiative and the mass battle thing also came up.

Yup it is a good system though I do wonder if the amount of damage should have been reduced given the number of turns of it we went through, especially given we were only just at the rank 2 level. It wouldn't have made any difference to Okimoto but would have prevented the need for Sir Guido to fudge some of the damage outside of the encounters.

Finished it. Loved it.
When Doji-San paused and then said "I'm dead." It was so beautiful cause it reminded me of my first character, death coming suddenly and unexpected, and from then on I used full attack much less, and cared a lot more about getting to an earth ring of 3.
That system is deadly and I love it, mass combat, even at rank 3 is pretty deadly. Maybe if your engagement rolls were allowed to explode things would have been slightly safer, and allowed for more heroic opportunities.

I think I like the sytem, however I think next time I use it I will create my own table that's more suited to the mass combat at hand.

My friend once did something similar, in 7th Sea, created a Mass Social battle, which was fun. The Heroic Opportunities stuff really spices things up, and the fact that your are constantly taking damage makes complete sense.
The one time he ran it in L5R we all kept rolling the duel/skirmish, that we were all kind of getting sick of all the combat.
It's cool having the different columns for the Win/Lose/Draw situations though.
All in all great story telling, and it should be interesting hearing the new Ronin come into play....the scum.

Is that when season 2 starts "filming"? Hopefully the premiere won't be to far off.
