Re: Ask the GM
I'm full of questions today. One more regarding opportunities: Several options of opportunities are about helping other people at the same scene (offering assistance, reducing TN, reducing strife etc.). I suppose those are disabled during events to avoid the whole thing becoming completely unmanageable?

Re: Ask the GM
Pretty much. I mean, you can ask the gm to come up with the info...buuuuut that may take awhile. It's fine as long as you don't try to bring major info into the world this way. "Why I've suddenly just remembered I've been having an affair with Renji!" is not gonna fly XDMoto Mitsuki wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 8:23 amFrom https://craneclan.weebly.com/trade-earth.html
Since I have ample Earth opportunities to spare, how do options like this one work? Pure fluff?(Opp) (Opp) Suddenly recall an important piece of information not directly related to the task. At the GM’s discretion, you may establish a small preparatory action you took earlier, such as bringing along a common useful item.

Edit: second question - if I failed any of the above rolls, could Anxiety proc here? ' You are constantly worried about failing those to whom you have a commitment, such as family, friends, allies, a mentor, or a master'

Sure, although I would definitely want to see that roleplayed out, not gained off-screen.Moto Mitsuki wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 8:45 amCan you do a thread to willingly trigger an Anxiety to restore some Void? In the same way you can do a Passion thread, and with the same restrictions (cannot do event/agenda/passion in same thread).

Hmmmm, sure any order is fine.Kasuga Yoshi wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 8:51 amIn the Day 2 miai event, if we choose option 1 do we need to roll in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4 or can it be in any order?
Alternately, if using the Well of Desire shuji, can we choose which roll to use it on? I believe it can only be used once.
Well of Desire is specifically on the next social roll, so I assume you present the gift, and then ptu whichever one you wanted to first.

Sure is.Moto Mitsuki wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 12:58 pmIs this rule still valid? I just remembered it, and I don't think I've seen ever mentioned outside of this post (like, there is no "Big Board of Stakes" for example).
I didn't make a big board of stakes, because glory/honor stakes should be in your pf, to be resolved privately.
