And one more thing:

Once you've built your character, please take a moment to make two fluff rolls on the die roller. This will have no bearing on the game, and you will not be starting with strife these rolls generate. This is just to test the die roller before we get into the thick of the game, and these rolls have no secret sinister significance or bearing on the game (honest).

How do you roll dice?

It's easy, just look over here!

A reminder, please be sure to label all rolls, even these test rolls as campaign Kyuden Shika. Failure to do so will bring shame and disgrace upon your family for generations to come.
