\And while modeling tension is a good thing, I feel like the dice on each roll do that anyway.
Part of my broader view on 5E, to be honest... there's a lot of stuff they bolt to the mechanics that roleplay can (and should be expected to) replicate.
But you'll have to wait for my essay on the subject, because this particular game is fun, and I want as many people to finish it as possible!
Phoenix Clan * Bushi * Soldier* Blunt * Cynical * Seasoned * Strong
Your Wingman Anytime, Whether You Want It Or Not
Glory: 42 * Honor 41 * Status: 30
Carries his katana in an old, drab, battered saya. As of Day 13, wears a delicately carved bracelet of wooden beads polished smooth, laced through with red, yellow, and orange string and a small Phoenix token.
Standard gear: Ceremonial Clothes and a daisho. When in his element, ashigaru armor, a naginata, and a more relaxed form of terror are added into the mix.
Remember to Breathe

And how about duels where no critical is ever actually struck?
You gain 1 point for each fatigue you inflicted on your opponent. You lose 3 points if you unmasked.
(Both are true when a crit is scored as well but those are the ones that also apply without it)

Re: match lists
I'm going to mention here that communication is a two way street, so you can reach out to other players to ask what they're planning, what they want you to be planning - please *over*communicate to make sure folks know what you're doing. This game is drafting off whatever list you give for Railun to work from, not a "live draft" like some may recall/have heard about from Banner 3, so there's less room to correct when (not if) the unexpected happens. Remember also that player vote awards will influence the final order, so consider that you may not "pick" as close to first as you're expecting.
If you are wondering about ships/likely pairings - especially to try to avoid being an iceberg - reach out to me as I have a list of several folks' plans. I am not helping people ninja others picks. I am happy to help avoid unnecessary drama at the and of this game.

Personally i have no worries. What i like OOC and what I'll get IC might differ but I'm prepared to lose. Never thought I'd score anything at all really.
