The Day of Thunder

Ah, yes. Still it leaves us with four skills: animal handling, commerce, sailing and engineering. Which are still more niche skills then the courtly 4. For the +3k0 the mantis gets it...while on board a water borne vessel...which is situational to the extreme. Courts and social contests are far, fa...

I'm taking off Rank 3 for now since that seems to be the most contested. I am taking suggestions for what people think is appropriate. Right now, I'm envisioning Susumu marrying into the Bat (neither or whom have a dedicated Courtier school) and he wants to make something that drafts those with some...

Not a GM, so all this is just my opinion, take it with lots of salt. If you compare to the Advanced Schools in the basic rulebook, all the rulebook Advanced Schools have Ring and Skill requirements around 4 to 5, and have techniques that are somewhat more limited. For example, the book Kenshinzen, ...

Out of curiosity, will initial followers of the kami still be alive then? Not that I plan to bring Reo, but it would be curious. That level of time skip definitely puts things in descendants of this generation timeframe for romance. They will still be alive. The original followers of the Kami lived...

Well hello there! I am no expert on L5R but this advanced school seems far too powerful. I apologise if I come out wrong. The +2k2 on void is powerful but limited to a selection of skill might balance it. The inclusion of Iaijutsu does indicate that in a duel you'll get a consistant +2k2 on all thr...

"Good to hear." Reo sips some of his hot water and takes a spoonful of breakfast. "I'll admit, I was pleasantly surprised when my daughter announced her engagement. I was too embroiled with work to notice a courtship, and that was a failing as a father. But I am glad that you are settling in the Spi...

I know it's a bit early, but I figure that as we are building to the peak some people might want to share/get feedback on goal ideas. Obviously, there is time to go and things can change a lot in terms of priority, feasability and interest. Still, i think it might be worthwhile to workshop ideas, es...

Reo nods. "It's as Sora-san says: shugenja are great, but they can't be everywhere. They are easily taxed, and in a crisis their attentions are usually sent elsewhere. They also, especially now, tend to be clustered in major settlements. But every village can grow an herb garden. Anyone with quick w...

With the speaking, the pair did not notice the change in Reo's breathing pattern change, slowly waking to the sounds of their voices. "You know Enrou-san, I think I finally know what people mean when they ask how somehow smart can be such an idiot." Reo has curled and risen, a little unsteady as he ...

Yay, team! Teamwork makes the...dream might be too on the nose in this game, haha!

Teamwork makes the dreams bound in a magical ritual?

Reo nods in thanks. In spite of making the trip, he doesn't feel like he has a bead on his son in law.

"My thanks Goju-san. I hope that you've gotten whatever you were hoping to this trip"

Reo puts a hand to his mouth, still unbelieving. But after a moment, he steels himself. He clutches the Jade around his neck with his hand. "I present myself to be examined." He motions to Ohta and Naraku along with the skeptical ones. Normally, he would be one of those so he can't offer and resentm...

Interlocking Scroll architecture and scrolls are made

D6 Craft the Interlocking Rods for the Ritual - Craft (Stonework)/Intelligence-TN 25 - VP spent | 7k6 ⇒ 68 (TN: 25)
D6 Craft the Interlocking Rods for the Ritual - Craft (Scroll)/Intelligence-TN 20 - | 6k5 ⇒ 30 (TN: 20)

Reo is in a pretty good mood following a sound night's sleep and a leg that no longer troubles him in the morning. While he's no shugenja himself, there is a request for the manufacture of a set of interlocking and separated scrolls. The request piques Reo's interest, and it seems that it would be s...

Reo is on a cot, still passed out from the night before, still insensate after the exhaustion of treating the surviving patients.

[OOC: Unable to converse, but scene dressing]

Reo squints in focus, trying to imagine the shape he needs it to be.

(OOC: Assume losing the Lame Disadvantage?)

The mood of the villagers shifts, the group muttering to one another at expressions turning to glares at the insult to Chouri. Chouri smiled and shook off the no offense. "None taken. I understand the distrust. Please, sit across from me in such a way that I can reach where you need help." Reo does...

I roll 6k5 for all Craft rolls, let me know what gaps need filling in.

"The thing is, I understand Makime and Matsu." Reo finishes tugging a bandage. "Makime is a general, and a simple solution to eliminate all obstacles undoubtably has an appeal. Matsu....Matsu was with us when we went into the Shadowlands and saw the horrors firsthand. Her father" Reo pauses. "The fi...
