While we have not gotten into a lot of the Event writing, yet, there's a mechanic in the bones of the game that rewards a much wider set of house stats than Influence.

squees in excitement

If we DO find an answer, expect Takao to hijack it in some way :lol: This. And suddenly, I feel like Shingo's minimal contributions to this game will conveniently justify Higashime volun-tolding him to go "help" the master of fire's important work. I can't wait, even more so than for other potentia...

Not-as-famous-as-it-should-be wisdom: "I never trust a 10."

It's not really XD The Crane are too obssessed with looking pretty for marriage is not a winning argument.

The Matsu who was feeding content to ChatGPT to teach it L5R is very offended right now.

That was an illustration of how the house system generates its own problems which will end up feeding the Winds crisis. The Shimomura and Kamoshita (and the Kamoshita and all their neighbors) have feuded quite a bit over the years. The Kamoshita recognized that the succession crisis would inevitabl...

I tried asking ChatGPT for a court argument and the result was ... surprisingly good. Someone clearly has been teaching ChatGPT about L5R. I am wildly uncomfortable with the level of success this had. I'd joke about using it for my event posts, but having to open another tab and app to try to get t...

Fuku and I got tired, is really the answer there.

It takes a lot of effort to replicate the efficacy of the entire Otomo family. Skilled as you are, you and GB could never replicate the magnitude of their awfulness and ubiquity.

Looking forward to not the next two, but next fifteen games then :) It's not a joke. There is a list. It is a long one. Did you hear me laughing? I'm just smiling because I'm looking forward to it. 100. I don't even know how one would gamify letter writing, but based on the construction of events a...

Lady Shiba Mic-drop is not the reason we can't have an emperor - and how did no one sway her to announce for Noriko at the art event, anyway? I was terrified about her doing that after the laws discussion set her up. But really, we should all be Team Rumiko for Empress. She's learned how to deal wit...

Too much serious business to do in this game. Not enough time for lewding.

I'll have to do better next time.

Don't gaki-fy Sadako! I like her!

Like many court delegates, Shingo spends much of the last hours before the tournament trying to sway the notable sumai into supporting a certain Wind. His efforts are much less successful than he expects, but not without success. By the time attention shifts to the Bowman's Wager and the sumai tourn...

Literally just posted up lol.

Spoke too soon!

You gotta watch Jinkan, he's a sneaky Dragon!

Just an offering at viewtopic.php?f=80&t=1011

Will there be a D12 court sign up thread or has the glut of treaties subsided? Shingo has an art offering and a ghost post in my PF.

But what's important is that it's an event, so we can all join in beating Eiji.

And if it's just beating then it doesn't trigger Soft hearted, right?

Shingo nods and takes a sip from his sake before beginning.

"Shiba-san, first, I must commend all your work on behalf of our clan this winter. Your efficiency and industry are most impressive and bring great honor on your house and yourself."

"You will perhaps forgive a humble servant of the kami for not knowing the intricacies of a competition best suited to skilled bushi like yourself," Shingo says with a smile and a nod of his head. "I think a respectable showing would still benefit the reputation of our clan, seeing as we're rarely e...

"I shall be honored to ensure this gift reaches Isawa Sorami-sama," Shingo says, bowing his head briefly in recognition of its import. "And I appreciate your trust in me to see it done." He kept his eyes upon the package for a long moment, then returned them to Hoshiko as he clearly moved to a new s...

If you mean to present as neutral, even if you aren't neutral in your heart of hearts, then you cannot pick an aligned option. The patron has to be able to see that your art has this political purpose, and obviously can't do that if it doesn't have one. You could pick a neutrally-aligned person, th...
