The Day of Thunder

Dream technology sounds good on paper, but feel to me like trying to juggle with a few too many balls at once: You could write a full book just around that concept, going into the details of dream clothes that change depending on your mood (and of course become pajamas when you're too stressed), dre...

Thanks. Feeling a bit like I've hit a wall though. I.e. screenshots have multiplied as actual changes became scarcer (a habit inherited from livelihood), and there don't seem to be anything I can do to make Sakkaku better than it currently is. Maybe it's perfectly natural. Maybe Sakkaku has indeed r...

Adding complicated things is easy. Time for the actually difficult part: Rework them into something usable. First, after way too much beating around the bush, I've simply added the tag field to the rollers: https://i.imgur.com/OhN2vAP.jpg This allows GM to just ask players to tag some rolls with som...

Sora figured out Kai wasn't human, decided she was insane but harmless, and then... Kinda fell down a rabbit hole where he barely interacted with anyone outside of a very narrow group. How do you think a second conversation would have gone? If we knew how these threads would end before writing them...

"I don't think it's random I appeared in this world in both a place of spiritual significance and yet still unclaimed by any clan. Destiny, the world, Tiger's will – the who or what is not really important – allowed me to learn in a relatively secure location until I was ready to meet you all. Well,...

How do you feel knowing our initial scene might as well been a trigger for a lot of things. Heck I wouldn't have met Ai if she hadn't been mean to you. All in all, your character was fantastic. I truly enjoyed our interactions, and I think you did enjoy the dumplings I made. They weren't poisonous,...

Learn what you're talking about before you weigh in.

Hmm... How to state that.

If even I, with my Failure of Diplomacy, find that to be nothing but extra fuel to the fire, it likely is. At the very least, stated like that.

EDIT: Edited for typos. No change in message content.

Not eating for days and losing 15 pounds if fucking dangerous. :shock: No, seriously, if you defend the opinion nothing is wrong in the face of things like that... I was actually suggesting looking at your local lawbook under the duty to rescue section. But it's apparently not a thing in most of th...

Okay. So. To clarify things a bit about my own clash, in case that may help. My intent has always been to highlight structural issues, that have been recurring from game to game, independently of the GM or players. They are of course more marked sometimes, for a variety of reasons. But one person ta...

I do think it is a bit disingenuous to mention a GM going to the hospital because that is an outlier not even close to the norm One thing to consider is that, I, and others, don't operate over a perfect knowledge of what happened over the course of over a decade. And people generally don't talk abo...

As of D8, any location but the War Camp has ceased to be and is inaccessible*? Or were some of these locations grounded in reality and existing in it, though maybe under a different form?

*To anyone but Wu Zhe and Chouri

Shang was actually a really interesting character, coming into this game for me, because she had so few hooks to all the big mega-drama... Plussing this. Shang often felt like she was totally removed from the main plot. Like a character from another story having somehow wandered into this one. Was ...

Who will inherit the throne? IIRC, in canon, the Shiba don't do primogeniture, instead asking the magical sword for its insight. Which is pretty reasonable if you ask me. Just missing the part about a quest and maybe a lake to make a great story. Not sure what would be the equivalent of that in Dawn.

Were there some tricks and cool things you were eager to show that didn't come to be?

I'm thinking for example about how Effigy 1 felt like it had an ace up its sleeve before we change it into a roly-poly toy due to the dice having forsaken you for that fight.

You suggested Sugri had some bad experience with tigers early on. What was that about? Asking for a friend.

... Wait, you actually were the Snakeskin Crab? Kai had been right all along? Should have called her Cassandra. :lol: Do you see yourself more as a control character who gives -1F/-1C Poison tokens as an Open action, or a battle centric one who distribute them during fights only? (and yes, that woul...

(Also, shout out to 5th edition finding a way to make dueling even worse , somehow) 5th ed is the very definition of hell paved with paved good intentions. You get the idea of what they were trying to do, the genuine intent to improve things... And the result is... Unbelievable. For example, the id...

Also, thanks for all the thanks... And, a complaint, of course. Because I'm always complaining. But there definitely should be more of these OOC talks, even through a quick PM exchange ("Good for you? If so, good for me. Liked stuff. Was a bit confused by stuff2 however.", "Good for me, thanks for t...

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? I'm not exactly sure I understand the question. But she sure did find most people were operating within the wrong framework of thoughts, like thinking in ter...
