(AEG) Gateway
Any chance we could get the schedule of events for Gateway? Its only a little over 2 weeks away.
We're still trying to finalize it. It should be ready next week.
BB release?
What is the official BB release? I just got notification from Potomac that my order has shipped...and the only thing I have ordered is BB. So is the 15th going to be the release date?
It's Monday, August 19th.
overlaying cards and lady moon's curse
I have a question about abilities gained by overlaid personalities from their less experienced version. If i have, for example, Yasuki Hachi in play and overlay Yasuki Hachi exp over him he gains the "Reaction: Once per turn, when Hachi wins a duel, straighten your Stronghold." abilitiy. now, if my opponent plays Lady Moon's Curse, which states: "Kiho Open: Bow one of your Shugenja or Monks to permanently remove all abilities from a Personality that are not printed on that Personality." does my Hachi exp lose the reaction abilitiy granted from his non-exp version since that ability isn't printed on the Hachi exp card?
Yes.
Question on Make Your Choice
I'm looking for a clarification on the wording of this card. It may seem inane, but I can see someone interpreting it weird. Here's the text:
Open: Give one of your bowed or unbowed Personalities without your Faction trait, the Unaligned trait, or the Shadowlands trait +1F/+1C permanently and straighten that Personality, if necessary. The Personality swears fealty to you and permanently loses other Faction alignments.
The way it's worded and w/ my understanding of grammer (which is by no means perfect), it looks like the wording implies:
"...without your Faction trait, (without) the Unaligned trait, or (without) the Shadowlands trait..."
That's the way it works.
Now, with the flavor of the card, I'm sure it's *supposed* to mean
Don't be so sure. :)
Hitomi Hogai question
Re-asking this question since questions on BB cards are now being answered.
If Hitomi Hogai has a tattoo, could I move Gaijutsu no Shiryo (with tattoos attached) to Hogai?
Yes.
And if so, can Hogai use those tattoos?
No. If he already has a Tattoo, Gaijutsu cannot give him a second one.
