The Day of Thunder

I'm happy to work towards giving Crab protection to Blue Lotus Village - I mean assuming the plot doesn't require the village to be razed or something else that pre-empts that. Preeeeeeetty sure it's gonna be all right- the dreamstone deposit is jade now (so hey, jade mine!) and the barrier to the ...

GMing will always be exhausting. But, really, we, as a community, can do better than asking of our GM to destroy their mental health for the sake of others. It just doesn't have to be. Games could still be awesome with their GM only deeply tired, not utterly broken, by the end of them. Agreed Certa...

It was still good seeing him again!

Seems this shoulda been whipped out days ago...

"The honor is mine. I'm just glad there's someone here I'm on an informal basis with!" He half-smiled, as much as decorum would permit, then ended up beaming as he examined the gift. "I mean, Dad wouldn't care, but... trying to do the job right is stressful, you know?" In keeping with Nezumi custom,...

Six Months Later The Imperial Palace was still his home, but Soryu had to admit, it felt different. He'd been on trips with his family, of course, but his time alone among the Nezumi... He smiled at the thought. Thanks, Dad. Ordinarily, diplomacy was something the Yuzuru would handle. Or perhaps th...

Like he'd turn THAT down...

Soryu leaned forward, peering into the gap.

I was told I should quit. They're probably right. I legit don't know who is doing all this private bitching and moaning but whoever they are, from me to them, they can screw right off. I'm very tired of people being so immature and taking it out on GMs all over a game and throwing fits because they...

I disagree.

Strenuously.

"I sincerely hope not. We've won this round, and the cycle has its timer, but things have been.... somewhat fluid. Our rescue of your Uncle Hisomu forced our enemy to adapt. It will adapt again."

SALUTE! GM FORM QUESTIONS INBOUND! 1. Biggest curveball the players threw you? (That you are willing to talk about!) 2. Biggest curveball the game threw you? 3. Favorite moment? 4. Biggest missed opportunity?- ANSWERED, and health issues are no bueno. :( 5. Ready to sleep for a thousand years? :lol:

Oh, no no no, we ain't redacting jack, at least not in Sora's lifetime :lol: The Inquisitors will be using their "hey, we're out there among the people like good Kolat spies" thing to act a bit more formally. Over time, they'll lose some flexibility, and who the hell knows what they'll get up to as ...

You're making the censure committee of the Empire haha

I mean, our not-Kolat have never really done much Kolat stuff, so...

Sora's posture relaxed slightly, and his tone was desert-dry. "Your elder sister will probably throw a party, then collapse in abject relief. I may well cackle until my ribs shatter, which is just one more reason this is a pretty good idea. You were one of the only people to actually talk to the vil...

My Minor Goal involves the Willow Sect. After getting to have it both ways for twenty-five years or so, and with very few actual issues with Shiba, Sora will be keeping his hand on the tiller to turn them into the beginnings of our answer to the canon Asako Inquisitors (not the Advanced School, no w...

"'Sides. Dunno 'bout you two, but I've been keeping a lid on things all damn week. Had it! Need t'not just be a wreck when I get home...."

Hey, thanks for bringing what you have, amigo.

I've always enjoyed seeing what you turn up.

Amen.

"To put it mildly. These... still have a role to play."
