There is an npc request thread, but yeah, pm me if you want to draw my attention for potential weirdness. I try to skim every thread to pick up on things, but given how outnumbered I am, a pm definitely helps focus my attention.Suzume Senseki wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 8:43 pmThanks! No rush for that one, but good to know.
Also another question - should we post PMs to you or questions here if we go somewhere and are looking for a random NPC (or believe something weird might happen)
(Like here, for example - might bump into something)

Re: Ask the GM
How are you gonna run the Just as Predicted tech for Astrologer? Do you want me to just roll something every in game morning and put it in a thread on my private form?
Imperial ❀ Shugenja ❀ Professional Dumbass ❀ Benten's Curse ❀ Sixth Sense ❀ Affect of Harmlessness
Glory: Reputable ❀ Status: Average Imperial ❀ Honor: Average ❀ Profile!
Carries: Fan, smol knife, wakizashi, finger of jade, divination kit!
Wears: Unsei often is seen wearing star-covered robes in shades of black, dark blues, and gold. In the center of their forehead is a small birthmark in the shape of a diamond/star, and they always wear a hat with a short veil and tassels on it. Their hair is kept in a long ponytail that reaches down to their ankles.
"You might've heard of me. I was the Imperial that broke their toe falling out of a tree at Shiro Kuni."

Re: Ask the GM
Would you prefer folks to use duel or skirmish rules for sparring? Ordinarily I'd just do a simple check, but with so many of us learning the system and all of us learning to use it for PbP, I'm inclined to do some as more involved affairs just for the learning.

More on agendas:
- Can an agenda be pushed in special threads? For example Event threads, Event Observation, Play, etc.?

"Your ability lasts until the end of the next downtime. Downtime in this format is "Not doing an event, pushing an agenda, or pursuing a passion". So you use the ability, and then you have until the end of the next non-event, non-agenda,non-passion slot to fire it off."

Re: Ask the GM
You may not push agenda in timeslots you are in an event, nor any thread you are pursuing a passion or a specific downtime activity. Play is a fine time to do so thoughBayushi Mitsu wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 10:39 pmMore on agendas:

Re: Ask the GM
I'd say use skirmish. While dueling rules could be applied, you're not gonna have a very long duel practice with them in play.Kuni Yasu wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 10:36 pmWould you prefer folks to use duel or skirmish rules for sparring?

Re: Ask the GM
That was kind of my thinking, even if the RAW seems to indicate skirmishes are for more people. Duel also feels odd when it's not actually a duel.

Re: Ask the GM
So Large Stature reads "when you make a check for which you can take advantage of your size you may reroll up to two dice" would melee unarmed in like a grappling type scenario count for this?
