The Day of Thunder

Ranmaru was a man of great and terrible power. Anjing obviously had an interesting intro with him. But I think they figured each other out a little by the end. And ultimately Ranmaru was trying to do the right thing. He’s welcome to come hangout with the Crab anytime XD Where did he end up on his ph...

“That they will. They have good models.”
She nods at him and strides to the exit. Before adding one last comment over her shoulder. “Take care of yourself, even when there is so much to do. Especially when there is so much to do.”

And with that, she exists.

((Thank you for the scene ))

Makime! With her you could feel the lion. I really enjoyed her scenes and her approach. It made for a really strong contrast with many of the other characters. If she’d had an army that village would have been on lock within the day. Do you think the events in the village which change her approach t...

Sugri was a great character, I could get a read on his vibe very easily! I felt he we was a really well done ‘wise’ character. Clearly has his head on right and knew a lot, but never in a preachy or infallible way. He then also got to fight Shinsei which was quite the turn! I’ll echo the question ab...

I enjoyed our interactions quite a bit. Anjing felt like the more human and empathetic when they were working together. A good counter balance to Makime's often cold logic and gruff manner. She really was the motherly figure of the daimyo council. The mother that would kick your ass for stepping ou...

“Likewise. We cannot change the past, but we can live in the future. I’ll provide a written report to you on what occurred in the village. I think you would be… proud, at the end. Despite everything every clan came together. All gave some, some gave all.” She bows again. “I look forward to working w...

To be prefectly honest? None. Sure he was found in the Shinomen but that could have just as been abandoned children. It was through Canary that that angle really came to be. As to how it will pass? We will see, he did channel the dream of Akasha during his fight against the Champion and my major go...

Happy to see Auntie Anjing show up for the end of the world! Satsuki was glad to see her here, especially since it gave us some time to fill in what the neighbourhood in the north has been like since the Crab moved up there. :) Really enjoyed establishing that the families of Togashi and Hida have ...

Anjing was great fun to play alongside. She had a lot of "I've raised a lot of troublesome kids" energy. I really enjoyed our threads and Kenji really did want to fight negashinsay with her. Some troublesome kids with god blood and her own stubbornness! The threads were excellent and negaShinsei wo...

FORM QUESTIONS INBOUND! 1. Biggest curveball Anjing threw you? 2. Biggest curveball the game threw you? 3. Favorite moment? 4. Biggest missed opportunity? 5. Any secrets Anjing has that never came up? Less-formy: 1. Did you have as much fun with their... reconciliation seems a bit strong, but nothi...

Ah Satsuki, the favoured niece, and one very accomodating to unsolicited advice! Really enjoyed our scenes and seeing her relationship with Hikaru as well as her stepping up on the scrolls. Shes come a long way. What’s next for her? With Hikaru coming in do you see any Crane influences being importe...

Dread it, fear it, argue on a wall with it, Sora always arrives. Good to see the imperial problem solver in action, and he certainly did have a lot to do! Still, can’t imagine he’ll retire anytime soon? What’s his take on what happened at the village? And in particular what happened to Shinsei. Will...

What was it about the bow that led Yumi to devote herself to it and even take it as her name? When you were thinking of the concept which came first, the ronin or the bow?

"Indeed we do." He nodded, expression grave. "It will be the Crab's duty going forward to tame the lands of North, and we will do everything we can to support them in this duty. This duty means that the lands up to five hundred miles north of the mountains will be granted to the Crab in perpetuity,...

It was really nice to see Naraku develop throughout the game into a hero.

How much of the naga elements were planned and how much developed throughout the game? Will they be passed on to any of his descendants?

Hikaru really is the best of us, a questing knight who never wavers or falters no matter the opposition. Really enjoyed the scenes with him as discussed!

What do you think separates the Rokugani version of a questing knight from the western versions like Galahad? Or is it mostly the same?

Genji's a good man, a son who must surely make Hantei proud. He took a few licks this game but kept on ticking, and he fought nobly for the future of the world! Can definitely understand the difficulties of finding time with a busy life. Do you think Blue Lotus Village and the apocalypse will have m...

It was a pleasure to draw swords alongside Ai. Would have loved to do more politics, but sometimes slaying zombies together comes first?

What is Ai's future in relation to the Crane? If Doji wakes up as hinted at, how does that change things for her and the Clan?

Tae-soo is of course, best boy. I really appreciated how much work you put into him and his peoples' culture, gave a clear sense of the diversity present in Rokugan. And he was also a sweet young lad. And the heals came in clutch vs Harbinger, despite Sakkaku's best efforts. What was the full story ...

Very interesting character concept. IC Anjing had no idea what to make of her, but OOC your theming makes total sense!

What did the whole Blue Lotus Village end of the world situation look like from her perspective? Was it quite different given her dream ties?
