Rules Q&A
- Q: (I)f subsequent to being targeted by a Game of Sincerity I play Laughter of the Flames on my personality, will that counteract the effects of the Game of Sincerity (?)
A: No. Laughter of the Flames only overrides one reason a card may not contribute force: because it is bowed. It does not override any other reason a card might not contribute force. Zen Faulkes, "Game of Sincerity - Laughter of the Flames", 6 Feb 2010 - Q: (I)f the word contribute is going to continue to be used is it possible to have it added to the comprehensive rules glossary please?
A: Many -- indeed, most -- words in L5R cards have only their normal English usage. We are not going to duplicate the dictionary in the rules glossary. That way lies madness. Zen Faulkes, "Game of Sincerity - Laughter of the Flames", 6 Feb 2010
