The Day of Thunder

She's escorted in and Shiba rises, bowing to her. "Anjing-san, thank you for coming. I understand that you prefer directness to niceties, so I will get right to the point. First, as one of the ranking daimyo, I would like to hear your perspective on what happened in Blue Lotus Village." "Second..." ...

Thank you for the Game! I did not expect to get into a romance this game but the hook could not be resisted :lol: Thanks for that story. I could also not resist the hook as soon as I saw Zhe's reaction to Chouri. And I'm a squishy romantic at heart who is a total sucker for RPing love stories. I lo...

"Your mother is here to help lead the Legions," he said. "You two should talk at some point. Everyone else is looking after things at home. Your sisters are managing the families and Tokiwa and Yuzuru are managing the Empire."

Thank you for the game. What is RACK (for us not speaking HR-speak)? Did the story change along the way? Was Chouri intended to be a damsel in distress or something else? Thank you for running! Time for a well-deserved rest, and some celebratory... birb seed! I was also curious about RACK! Searchin...

What was the plan if the Thunders failed? The Matrix! Basically, we were going to have YJ overlay all of Rokugan. People stuck in an unending dream. Those who embraced it would be given power and eventually released into the rest of the world or beyond as destructive forces without compare. Meanwhi...

So! I think, all in all, we had a VERY good game here. It did get tense at times, as all high stakes games tend to. I definitely made some mistakes. However, the GM Team is already in discussion about how we can make this a more fun place to be, and what we can do to make everyone feel safer and mor...

3rd of the Month of the Hare, Year 31 The storm clears away, and the last of the victims of Yume-Jigoku's taint are killed on the battlefield. There is a light rain in the morning, but it clears quickly into a sunny day, drying up the water of yesterday's storm and the morning drizzle. The region o...

Please wait until D8 for D8 threads. I'll be changing days shortly, unlocking Q&A, and will start going through goals soon.

"She really is," Shiba said with a smile as he returned to the cot with a wince, bringing them both to sit with him. "She practically demanded to come along." Tae hugged her just as tight. "I heard you, too, and the others that were looking. I was so happy to hear your voice..." "We really did it," ...

2nd of the Month of the Hare, Year 31 "Ai!" Doji's voice echoed in the distant spaces where Yume-do was pure as she looked on, helpless to stop the vicious wounds that had killed her daughter. Tears welled up in her eyes and she straightened, looking out over the area where Jigoku had blasted this p...

Kumori buries herself in his embrace, clasping her arms around him firmly but gently due to his wounds. She turned her cheek to his chest as warm tears fell from the corners of her eyes. “Father…” She continued to hold him tight. “I’m sorry…” He didn't seem to be at all interested in whatever effec...

Shiba is in a cot, propped up as he listens to reports and gives order. He looks pale, and has bandages wrapped around his shoulder and chest with some of the golden fluid that was the Kami's blood soaking through the fabric. His kimono is one meant for comfort as he was clearly convalescing from a ...

High Strength does encourage bushi to go for Knockdown and Grapple... as those are (IIRC) the only advantage they have over a High Agility/Reflexes character calling raises for damages. Yup. Traits could use some balancing, but such is the way of 4e! The temptation to turn the splat book into 4.5e ...

Those who have made it through their events may post in The War Camp from EN into Day 8.

Time slots may overlap for threads, it's a big area.

My current understanding is that The Way Out and Moving Day are events reserved for the people in neither fight, while Go Time! is for everyone? Or are we supposed to roll all three, and it just looks that way as people are waiting to know if they are alive or dead before committing? Your first ass...

The being roars as Matsu holds it and the Thunders weapons tear into it, the blessing of Lady Sun burning through its borrowed flesh. Then it goes stiff, glowing eyes widening as Zhe's spear finds the final blow straight through its heart. Rage drips from every word as it utters its last words. You....

Chu giggles as she listens, pausing her work to look between the two lovebirds and wonder what their future children might be like. ...her ears raise. " Lean down for me, please, " She speaks to Chouri first, and then to Zhe, " You as well. " Both get paint on their foreheads; Chouri a cloud, Wu Zh...

Will the spells contained within the Four Scrolls factor into the Nega-Shinsei fight? :) If Nao can get to one and cast it, they can. The spells need to be cast by a shugenja. Otherwise they're part of empowering the binding. They will factor into plots in the future, as well. It didn't occur to me...
