Welcome to our GENCON US 2000 section!!

Well it's over now. Justin Walsh won with a Phoenix deck. Check out his article below. Brian Mulcahy, the distilled essence of Crab, got best Crab and Darragh 'I saved Kamoko and now the Moto' Long got best Unicorn. Both of these have a article below too!!

I hope to have some tourney reports up here soon too.

I took mant photos whilst there, so depending on quality, I will be posting these images here as soon as I have had the photos developed and scanned in.

This year Great Britain and Ireland had a huge representation at the L5R world championships in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. All in all there were over 25 players going over. That is over 25% of the attendees at the Kotei! It also means that between us we are likely to travel 200,000 miles!!!

So, we are running a series of articles on each of the clans and their strengths and weaknesses, the current metagame and the effect of SotE on the environment. I will also be trying to get tourney reports from tournaments where SotE is legal. It will all be posted here, so set yer browsers!!

Phoenix have won Race to Volturnum so on the Saturday and Sunday they will automatically go first. You can still Take the Initiative however!

Moto Benkei has a full list of the bounties for all clans.

We have a Goblin bounty aswell. Submitted by our very own Emmet Murphy
