Can IRL time and date be announced through a service that does timezone conversion like https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ ... T12&p1=224? "Tomorrow at noon" is quite the ambiguous concept when a post can appear on any side of midnight depending on where the reader is.
That's part of the reason that, although it wasn't quoted, I include the time zone whenever I post when something's gonna happen. If someone wants to post a link like this in the roll-tracking thread people were talking about, that would be awesome. Unfortunately, trying to balance 10-12 hours a day of running this with a full time job and IRL stuff leaves at least me a little short of time/energy to fit more in at the moment.

If Dreamstone were to be ground up to be experimented on, how many trials would you get?

I remember a finger of Jade got 7 projectile uses or 3 melee strikes in Dawn 2, so if guess along similar lines.

Are the heads of the Hiruma and Kaiu families actual daimyo, or are they just respected elders?

I ask because I almost name-dropped “Lord Kaiu” in one of my posts, but then realized that although Kaiu is on the official Families list, there is no Kaiu daimyo listed in the Champions and Daimyo almanac listing, and I’m not sure if that’s intentional or an oversight. So, I was pondering whether I should be referring to “Old Man Kaiu” instead. :)

It's 3 uses for a single crystal to use it like this.

It's an oversight. I'll add it.

They are not that handy, sadly. You'll have to find one.

I think this has been solved previously with more like...'in x hours' which means everyone can track from the time of that post in whatever timezone they've set their forum settings to.

It will be wonky across the DST switch, but only off by an hour, so at least you'd be closeish.

For the Meditation roll here, if you use a Void Point on your roll, do you get that one back if you manage to sleep successfully?

Also I'm assuming that if you don't sleep, you don't get back your VP?

Yes. If you manage to sleep, you regain Void as normal.

Does the excitement from having failed the Festival Earth roll impact the Meditation roll to sleep or are they (mechanically) unrelated?

They were supposed to be related, but I forgor. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So it's just an everyone thing with no adjustments now.

I made a successful Tea Ceremony roll LE. At the time, I asked if anyone needed to share the tea, since 1 extra person can benefit at no change to the TN. I didn't get a response, and so I rolled. Afterwards, Anjing's player woke up (Australia time), and responded.

Would it be okay to let her share the tea for +1VP? Again, this doesn't alter the result of the roll.

I just realized I put Meditation/VOID meant to indicate I was using Void in my sleep roll. I always put Void in full capitals when I'm using it. It just occurred to me that it may be unclear since people don't necessarily know that. Would you like me to reroll?

you're fine, keep it. As long as I know it's Void, you're good.
