Q: For instance, if I have Akodo Ijiasu in play with Yakamo's Claw attached as well as three Ashuras, if Ijiasu also gets the Porcelain Mask, Do I get 5 Porcelain tokens or 9 Porcelain tokens?
A: Only 5, sorry. Jeff Alexander, "post for 12 May 2003", 13 May 2003
Q: Hi all -
Given the greatly varied contents of the first 2 Season of the X packages [EDITORIAL: One being the fantastic mix of non-unique Akashas, the foily Celestial Sword and Koku that the players could use to get cards they want; the other being 18 of a unique card best used by only 1 faction and unlikely to see play beyond a limited audience...and the cool foily Yakamo's Claw] we're kind of wondering what we can expect for the Season of the Crane package.
I know that spoiler-esque specifics are straight out, but you people in charge can share a little info, right? :)
(1) Will we see koku prize cards again?
A: No. Jeff Alexander, "post for 29 November 2001", 30 Nov 2001
Q: My BIG question.. Why does Yakamo's Claw NOT have the Weapon trait?
A: To balance its lack of any honor bonus or penalty effects. Jeff Alexander, "replies to 28-30 June", 5 Jul 2001
