Finally. The card back art is beautiful and I hate covering it up with some flat color like I’ve been doing. I would also accept faction specific icons or scenes.

I am amazed. This is exactly what I wanted them to make but didn't think they ever would!

I hope they are getting better about this kind of thing. Netrunner never got them officially, though at its height another company made ones very close. But now, we're seeing things like playmats for upcoming games.
Speaking of support, I finally got ahold of the Honored Duel mat. It's bigger than I expected! But, at the same time, it's got a strange printing error on it. A roller screwed up, so it has a couple smear lines. But... it almost looks like it is part of the design! I had to double and triple check it. The lady at the store couldn't exchange it for me (she works for FFG customer support as well), but she did say they'll help out once they get more in stock.

I signed up for an event tomorrow despite not having played literally AT ALL this entire last cycle and I have no idea what to play or what is good as a result.
Help me people. Someone tell me what the deal is with Crane atm.
Oh hey, a bunch of stuff just changed over to Shipping Now on the Upcoming release schedule.
The full RPG Core, Dice, GM Kit, Underhand of the Emperor, and the Scorpion novel. They havn't put release dates on them yet, but should be in the next couple of weeks?
EDIT: I just realized that in two weeks it’s October 10’th, when they’re supposed to be announcing that mystery LCG product. I assume it’s related to the third cycle in some way.
Actually, I kind of wonder if they’re changing formats on the cycles. Like if they’ve decided to just bundle a entire cycle together in one box.

My bet on mystery LCG product: Multiplayer Box with official rules and cards dedicated to the format and/or Mantis box.

Honestly going second is still an advantage, because you get first shot at any fate on rings. Scorpion and Crab and some other defensive decks are quite happy taking only one or no rings in the first round and scooping a lot of fate in the second.
Those prizes are definitely nice. All the art prints are pretty gorgeous. Also oh FFG, you and your prize walls.
It introduces Composure - a state you are in if your honor dial is lower than your opponent's.
They have cleaned up the templating on Duels - there are some duels where your opponent picks the defender, but this new template seems to be where you pick both sides. It is definitely space saving.
And dial manipulation is becoming a bigger deal as a result.
Also, cards will reflect the fiction that has been written:
This is just the first of seven letters from the Clan Champions. Join us every Wednesday and Friday for additional letters as we prepare for a most contentious Winter Court!
Generally, they were like that. When you registered for a Imperial Assembly subscription, you picked a faction to align with. And every so often you’d get a letter in the mail talking about future plans for the faction.

So, today I discover that there is also fiction on FFG’s site. Am I correct in understanding this is also canon and not printed elsewhere?
Is everything intended to be read chronologically from publish on website / pack release date?
Yes. I believe there was a compilation pdf released for the Imperial cycle at some point as well, and there is a master list on the official forums.

Short summary:
Product to be announced on October 10th is neither a new cycle or a clan pack. Something new.
The next two clan packs are slated for Unicorn and Crane!
And all the remaining clan packs are slated to be out before the end of 2019.
I am hoping for a story box like Terminal Directive.
However much I enjoy doing mercenary work for the Uni right now... the boss is calling...

Oh hey Hawk Tattoo errata so it can only attach to characters you control.
Also First Player is randomly decided now? And you no longer get extra Fate for going second?

You still get a TON of information going second and can react to your opponent.
I was just in Minnesota earlier this month for the Netrunner finals.
Do.. Do I... go back for L5R Worlds?

Go figure, actually do decent when you play a solid deck and not just to try to cram a lot of jank in it.
Gotta love having Shahai cast three Force of the Rivers in one turn.
