Re: Questions for the GMs
Does this setting have mourning rules for clothing like a Victorian setting?
I believe the correct color is white.
But for how many days is it typically worn?
If there is no particular expectation and it will vary, that's fine.
I just want to be sure there isn't a rule that Yuna is messing up from lack of player knowledge.

Actually, I had no idea, either. Turns out there's a real lengthy mourning period for family (49 days of kichuu followed by a year of mochuu), and a very complicated series of rituals for the funeral of an Emperor. We're not going to mess with it really. Can't expect the court to do nothing for 49 days.Agasha Yuna wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2025 9:09 pmDoes this setting have mourning rules for clothing like a Victorian setting?

Re: Questions for the GMs
I've just noted in the The Senior Under-Vice-Minister of Public Entertainments and Delights thread that the Art Festival is scheduled for D8 EE.
Could Masaki maybe ask the Senior Under-Vice-Minister in question to shift and extend the reservation a bit so that it starts in the ME instead (so people have time for tea, last minute preparations and other contingencies after events and before the festival if they want)?
She will of course understand if that's not possible

Re: Questions for the GMs
Preemptive question for our theater event in D7: fluff-wise, our shugenja participants are going to ritually bless the stage before we commence. Crunch-wise, can we secure permission for them to use actual spells on the space/cast, or should we keep it to non-mechanical blessings?

Seppun will come down hard on anything potentially dangerous or sinister. Minor boosts to characters and illusions related to the performance are okay.

They don't have commodities, but they might be able to do other kinds of agreements, and they do have a marriage slate.

Re: Questions for the GMs
If you read what was here before, I thought about it again mere moments after I posted, and decided it was stupid. Therefore, please read this update:
Players Ask: Can I split my points between my house and a wind?
Answer: Go for it!

Re: Questions for the GMs
For the sumai event. Can we use multiple timeslots to talk to multiple wrestlers? If we fail the Lore: Heraldry roll, can we use another timeslot to ask around about them?

Re: Questions for the GMs
And speaking of multiple timeslots, can you also spend multiple time slots on the Ryota event? Or is it one attempt and you just pick the timeslot?

Ryota's just one.

Re: Questions for the GMs
Oh so to clarify, each person can only do one timeslot? Aka there's only 9 slots total so only 9 people can do the event?Cearnach wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2025 6:02 pmRyota's just one.
