Alex and Ian give their hot takes on dueling in the RPG, then we go on to the main event: an interview with Shawn Carman, former lead designer of L5R.
Corrections and Apologies: during the interview we mis-attribute the recent Unicorn novella, "Across the Burning Sands," to Dave Laderoute. It was actually written by Daniel Lovat Clark.
