The Day of Thunder

Explain to me where taking ronin paths is against the rules. What was the violation? That is the purpose of ronin paths, to let a non-clan samurai get access to techs at higher insight ranks. Should I just have had no techs? Was that what was wrong? All I'm hearing is 'you made something strong and ...

But I have to address some of this horseshit right here, and while I had logged out of Dawn with no intention to do any posting as Kenji anymore, this had to be said and has to be said openly. Get your head out of your ass Kei, and actually listen to what people are fucking saying. People that are ...

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...

Just out of curiosity, why did you choose to bring a cat girl into Dawn? Were there any RP challenges you found when it came to writing or playing the character? Were there aspects of hengeyokai from folklore or fiction that you incorporated into the character or background? What were your influenc...

First, thanks for everything! I know I wasn't the only one making her day, but I was glad for our scenes. Interesting plans for the future, i like the idea. Did she learn from her romance? In this same game did she find another avenue? Or is it something she'll take time with? She learned not to tr...

How did she feel about Yukara showing up to sing Norikage a lullaby?

Also, I enjoyed her journey a lot - did she feel more at peace with her place in the world by the end?

Yukara will absolutely be going protective older sister mode for Nao in future.

It was a lot of fun, and I appreciated the threads. I enjoyed how much some of these interactions drew Yukara out of her shell, and I hope she did a little for Nao as well.

And the non-form question: What's next? Up to Birb, but preliminary plan is make catgirls and catboys playable because this is a Rokugan of Culture. And more seriously, to found an order of monks who are basically spirit cops who try to help spirits live alongside humans without either side being ha...

Ooooh, so I was curious about one thing specifically. Who was the voice whispering in Yukara's head in the Thunder selection scene. Did she have a haunting or something? A remnant of her dream, prompted by the presence of Tengoku. A possible future, basically. I LOVED Sora's threads with Yukara, so...

Why did he have to go and make Yukara discover the idea of romance?

Also was a lot of fun - didn't expect she'd be friendly with Norikage at first glance, but was very pleasantly surprised how well she could play the straight man for his sarcasm.

Was the boss for fight one always going to be a wolf style beast, or did Yukara's backstory inform that boss design from the get-go?

I very much enjoyed her unique perspectives.

How did Kai feel about running into someone who was willing to argue back in dream logic, and do you see her as having any future aspirations to proceed to?

Will Ai still be interested in teaching Yukara to play the shamisen, and for that matter, maybe consider taking it up more?

The idea of Crab rock and roll led by a Crane has a certain charm...

Sorry we never found time for the 'after combat' thread for Yukara and Naraku.

After so many fights alongside the other samurai, do you think he's on a trajectory fully toward a more positive outlook on his fellow totally human humans?

Did anything draw Nao to help out Yukara beyond the adoptive family tie?

Also, did she ever start to feel more 'seen' after being a thunder?

Cats, Dogs, or both?

Did your plans for dreams/character interactions evolve a lot over the game or did you mostly brainstorm those up front when you saw the cast?

Did anything from her mother in law rub off on her?

Saw plenty of memory Yamadono in how she carried herself, but was curious if that had any impact on her characterization.

Any questions for the catty monk - what her deal was, how she hit things with a stick, etc.

Yukara had been largely missing from the climactic moments - her efforts and struggles occurring off screen in a vicious battle for glory in a realm far distant from Rokugan. She'd been dreaming about toy soldiers and strategy games that would've thrilled Makime to no end. Or something to that effec...
