The Day of Thunder

In my mind, Name Magic is vital because it was just used to both save Hisomu and the Day of Thunder
Spirit Realms for Day of Thunder
Ritual Magic from the sealing ceremony used in DoT

I went with Merenae and Thrane for 2 reasons

1) I enjoyed Kannon's ironhearts and am sad I only saw the end
2) with the Stag and Spider pushing out sailing I feel like contact is possible

I am under the impression the Three Rivers Alliance is more an economic/trade association whose limited military component is basically just to protect the said trade and the rivers. With the retirement of Makime in the next decade or so, Ayano will probably shift the Makime family more toward trad...

Without it being points-based, this is kind of an interesting exercise.

I mean it definitely changed my approach and I think for the better. Instead of a specific thing, I listed my assets and vision and I am curious to work things out.

Exactly how it would work depends heavily on GM interpretation and guidance, but something that occured to me playing Susumu in Dawn 3 is the idea of the north of the Empire as a power base, and what makes them different. One, they are heavily spiritual if in different ways. The Bat have direct conn...

Confession Time: I've been a bad player in the past. I have been a part of a game where I loved what I was building, and really felt invested. Then, something happened in setting and it felt like everything I had been working on had been ignored. So, that feeling I understand. In retrospect, I did n...

What are Matsu's next plans after building her own (capital) Family and School?

Reo is exhausted as he limps his way over. It had been a rough time of triage, but at this point it was up to the Fortunes to see if those in dire straights would make it until the shugenja could stabalize the worst cases. Sora was still up, and now that the worst was over it was time to think about...

Of course! I know you can't marry but you should totally send one of yours to become a Hiruma. Unite the Spider and the Crab! With the change of goals, I am workshopping something a bit different, but amongst the stuff I put out, weaving close bonds between the Crab, Dragon, Bat and Spider is on th...

Not really a question, but I enjoyed our scene together and wish we could have had another one or two. But that's how these games always end. Wishing you could have posted more. I assure you, Ninube will be very happy to Reo come back alive and healthy. Reo is excited to try some new things with hi...

I was planning to ride Reo until the wheels fell off and instead he got healed. Whouda think? lol, I've started to realize that sometimes the ones we expect to die end up surviving until the very bitter end. Sakkaku and the game are so unpredictable. What would you say is the one thing above all th...

"Compared to what you've seen? What you just dealt with ? It was a kami blessed paradise." Reo leans back. The comforting patients had never been his strength, but Nozomi (always Phi to him) was an old friend "There were a few of fetish things, but we had them in hand. Things were dangerous but comp...

Reo's favorite student! (Present)

Reo! GOD I wish I'd logged more threads of these two old jerks reminiscing. Oh well... BEWARE THE DREADED FORM QUESTIONS! 1. Biggest curveball Reo threw you? 2. Biggest curveball the game threw you?- Probably the leg getting fixed, let's be honest. 3. Favorite moment? 4. Biggest missed opportunity?...

The door rustles. Reo is there with a pot of rice porridge.

"You should eat."

He sits down in silence. After a pause.

"You'll always be welcome to visit Spider lands so long as I'm there. You did Susumu a kindness too."

He sits again awkwardly

Poison buddy! Are you ready to make a toxic work environment?

I was planning to ride Reo until the wheels fell off and instead he got healed. Whouda think?

For after games, would marriage be a minor goal or a freebie?

"And there's something to be said for a fight that needs fighting." There was a bit of a pause, the swarming effigies in the area seeming to have been at least momentarily obliterated by the massed combat acumen of the samurai. "And Fortunes know, I'm actually pretty good at this part..." "I've spe...
