Re: Questions for the GMs
Bumping this as I've posted the ghosting for two deals in court today that depend on it 
If and when, of course. We do still have a day for deals if it comes to that!

Re: Questions for the GMs
So I made a Sakkaku roll for a court action in the Fox debate, but the debate moved on before I finished my post on the forum. If I want to make a new court action, would you prefer that I keep that previous roll, or make a brand new one?

Re: Questions for the GMs
New roll is probably best in that case. Sorry I cut you off.

Re: Questions for the GMs
Can we join scenes like the fire at the granary or is it only there for narrative purposes for us to read?

Re: Questions for the GMs
That one's done and over, really; we had thought about having the granary fire be an *event*, but the story moved differently, and so we figured the local forces should have a chance to do something good.Kitsu Sayomi wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2025 8:47 pmCan we join scenes like the fire at the granary or is it only there for narrative purposes for us to read?![]()

Re: Questions for the GMs
Still at work, but popping in since the question keeps coming up of ritual timing.
I’m thinking D14 avoids piling onto D15 stuff, but do GMs have a time of day preference, given the number of NPCs involved? The ritual research did not ask/receive info on a beneficial time?

Ghosts appear to be more active at night. EN, perhaps?

Re: Questions for the GMs
Would the ritual count as a ward per Yogo Affinities? The School has a bit of a loose definition and technically, wards can be used to seal something in.

Re: Questions for the GMs
And another question for the ritual. Borrowing a Phoenix delegate ishiken was mentioned. Are there delegation NPCs with earth or water affinity we could fill in a few holes with?

The restraint part, yes. The binding, no.Yogo Kiuchi wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2025 4:08 amWould the ritual count as a ward per Yogo Affinities? The School has a bit of a loose definition and technically, wards can be used to seal something in.
On the Delegations list, viewtopic.php?f=13&t=35, if the character is listed as a shugenja and the main Clan shugenja School has that Affinity available, and it hasn't already been spoken for (which, as you note, one of the Phoenix was), then yes. There are also a couple of MC shugenja who might help, if you ask real nice like.Asahina Hoshiko wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2025 5:36 amAnd another question for the ritual.
