Rules Q&A
- Q: I'll take Goju Yume being gold legal and the slightly odd ability of Shosuro Chian Exp to become a ninja only when another is in play as a sign that something did.
A: Don't forget there are agents of the Shadow as well as relatively simple spies. The distinction is clear in the RPG, but in the CCG they unfortunately both get tagged with the "Ninja" trait. Jeff Alexander, "replies to 25 June", 5 Jul 2001 - Q: Can Shosuro Chian Exp Lock down the Books Owner? Will Know the Evil give Shadowlands to a Booked Personality?
A: Yes, yes. Jeff Alexander, "Rulings for 18 March 2001", 24 Mar 2001
