A lot of contradicting statements turn around on Eris' agora regarding experience.

To sum up what I've understood:
  • We get 4XP at the end of each session.
  • A session is three IC days.
  • Assigned XP only take effect the next IC day (to avoid people pumping their skills for the just revealed event).
  • However, we're allowed to assign XP before the end of a session so it takes effect starting from the first day of the next session.
How wrong is that? Because I see very few people rushing to assign their XP before the end of the day, so...

There's a decent number of people pre-assigning their xp in their pfs. for the rest, I assume they 're not trying to divine the next event, so they'll spend it when they get it and when they decide what they want.

Can we use performance (which is about performing) for the perform part of the event? It's a little odd that something called perform is not actually using the performance skill which is what it's all about

As the event and anxiety are both written the 'Let’s go with the classics' path would not technically trigger Obtuse however it definitely feels like it should trigger Obtuse at least for the tone and/or performance aspect if nothing else.

Let me know how much Strife Bo should be eating on this event.

Oh, good point, Raizo may be doing the same, since the way his custom Obtuse is worded, it definitely comes into play, anxiety-wise.

I can choose any die there?

It looked kind of odd to me, so I kept going forward...

Hmm. I am actually going to ask here - Aimi has the Storytelling Passion, which includes among its benefits a note that she basically has perfect memory for stories etc, including all the tiny details other people might forget.

If I take option B for the poetry, can I apply some kind of benefit for this Passion on the first roll, which is explicitly remembering an appropriate poem from generations of classics? Given her background I can see several times and places Aimi might have been in a place to hear and remember a particularly stirring or beautiful poem that someone else composed. Not sure what that would look like though.

(Going to make some rolls on the assumption that the answer is no, just in case)
Clan: Ronin Shugenja
Honour: 36 (Honour is the Ideal)
Glory: 36 (Samurai of no renown)

Carries a walking stick made from impossibly ancient wood, and a beautifully decorated amulet marked with prayers to Benten hangs from her Obi.

Actually came up with some more character specific questions which I put in my private forum thread that I'd appreciate an answer on as well. Cheers!
