Thanks for hanging out for 'adventures in Meido'. Medium always feels rather non-interactive with players, so having a chance to debrief with someone after was handy, and meant I got to introduce Shinn and Shintaro, which was amusing. Also general thanks for being part of Team Crane. The play was a...

I could have sworn I made mention of this somewhere but I'll say it here, so that I don't forget: Thank you very much for proposing, planning and making the play happen! It was very fun seeing everything happen together with the intermission bits. I can totally understand the romance bit when it co...

Hoshiko's was a very surprising concept, but it totally worked and was quite delightful to watch in action. I liked the way her fluency with the human and non-human bureaucratic and courtly realms clearly came across as much the same thing to her. Is there more to tell about Great[^n] Grandma and Gr...

Maybe let our poor overlords get some r&r after this marathon and start actually planning things before we pepper them with multiple really specific questions about what will and won't be a viable character concept!

(but can I play a Kitsune though???)
(jk jk jk)

I don’t think AI can even reach the coattails of fallenash’s finest failpost writers, though.

It also seemed to be implying the Otomo family were providing lots of warriors to be the “sword and shield” (…shield? :lol: ) of the Empire, which… Tooru, Warrior Prince, would like a word there. "Ultimately, I have no idea what I have actually been saying, but many courtiers may be impressed by my ...

Interesting that whatever webpages were scraped to train this GPT version apparently missed the Daidoji and Asahina. Or else in its nondeterministic wanderings around L5R verbiage it just didn't quite make it to that corner.

(The number of fingers on Otomo Ai's hands is not guaranteed by management and may fluctuate from day to day.)

You needed random NPC court actions generated by CourtGPT (powered by OtomoAI)! :x :x :x :x :x :x "It's important to consider that my decisions as a courtier illuminate my enduring relationships to other powerful figures in the Empire. As such, I should consider my actions carefully. In my view, a ...

I did consider it. But then I was like "Well, I don't have any ranks in acting, and this is the Imperial Winter Court." and players were like, "You could spend xp before hand to buy acting!" And then I was like "Hmm, well, I'm not sure if it's completely kosher for my faux-Scorpion self to sign up ...

Did you plan to put on any more plays than the first one? I only ever meant to do one. Gotta leave the fans wanting more. ;) Or more seriously, I'd be afraid multiple ad-hoc events of the exact same type might lead to player burnout. I also actually put a fair bit into choosing the plays and organi...

What does the future hold for Haku? Dinner on time and a nice warm bed, hopefully. https://windrise.fallenash.com/download/file.php?id=64 He'll come on the tour of Scorpion lands, so Toichi will have to be extra careful on walks that he doesn't chew on any plants in the flower gardens, but new admi...

Director's Cut Question: Think back on the game as a whole. If you could go back, and add just one more scene with our characters in it, what would it be? What are they doing/talking about? Hmm. I think they could have got a lot of mileage out of dishing on various other court gossip and people at ...

I elsewhere answered that you were the character I most wished I'd had a chance to do more RP with. Great character! And the Noh play was hands down one of the coolest moments of the game. Loved it! Loved how well organized it was and all the detail you put into it. Brilliant! Thank you! I was real...

Favorite part of the play? I don't think I could pick one moment, really--what I ended up liking best and being proudest of was how it all came together and went pretty smoothly. (I don't mean everyone passed their rolls, but the thing felt coherent as a whole.) I was pleased to have managed to put...

Thank you for being in the play and adding a soundtrack! I also regret not getting a proper conversation (or more) with Yuna. One of the reasons I wish I'd had more gas in my tank this game. I'm really glad you've had a nice time, and I hope we'll see you around for other games in this format (if on...

I remembered something I meant to ask!

Could we see the blurbs for all the Sumai competitors? The ones I discovered were really entertaining, and I didn't collect all of them.

Ah yes, the traditional Lion migration to the summer hunting grounds. Such magnificent creatures, driven by ancient instincts.

Helicopter shot pans across the plains.

Credit is nice but breakfast is even better, human butler #3.

Who's human butler #2???

Shinnosuke’s servant NPC!

If you want a promotion, you’re going to have to work for it.
