Netrunner Draft 5: The Reckoning
Sunday Week 5, 12pm

This is like all of the other team Netrunner drafts we've held. We will be in teams of two (yes, that means we need an even number of players oh no). This works as follows - all pack sizes are doubled (to 20 cards) and you take two cards each round. With your exciting combined roster of double the cards you normally get, you build two decks per side, one for each team member, wow! Then with your new very good decks you play games and try not to get too annoyed at the fact that you forgot to draft a barrier…

Legend of the Five Rings 5E

Looking to run a one-shot of Legend of the Five Rings 5e, potentially leading into a broader campaign.

In Rokugan, it is said that honor is stronger than steel. While even the finest blade can bend and break under the heat of the forge, the Emerald Empire’s society has been folded in the forges of politics and war for more than a thousand years, and it has not yet broken. The society of Rokugan follows a divinely ordered pattern set down by the eight Kami, who shared their celestial blessings with the mor…
