This doesn't need a response, just a quick bump for the brief Karanoko/Tsubo/Chiyo family update I'd tucked in my PF, since I can't tell from the read count if it's been seen (I forgot if I clicked on it more than once myself! ).
Here! Thanks.

Re: Fish Out of Water (Ko)
Couple of people asked (even if one of them lives with me IRL and doesn't quite count :lol: ), so here is a quick patchwork of Shore People ethnography, some of which I planned ahead and some of which came out in play. One of my unused ideas for Dawn 1 was a member of an almost-gone, isolated tribe ...

Re: Poll: The Imperial Legal System
Dueling in vanilla Rokugan is used to resolve all sorts of disputes not amenable to evidence-based solutions, many of which aren’t even about crimes at all. That hardly seems likely to go away even if dueling isn’t central to criminal law enforcement. Early modern Europe and North America had civil ...

Re: OOC Chat
Or it exists in a different form and place!
It only came to be after Original Isawa agreed to sacrifice himself as a Thunder, iirc?
(Classic megalomaniac, really. No one person can replace the great Isawa!)

Re: OOC Chat
Shiba only came out of Game 1 with three in the works (assuming that, as Emperor, his descendants aren’t a playable Family), so it’s only really a lot if we keep adding more like the Isawa etc. as further standard Families. I would say he wasn’t even *that* overwhelmingly a PC favorite in the Tourna...

Re: Adoption
I could put on my work-hat and deliver a giant, longwinded "it's complicated!" here, but I'll restrain myself (this is me being restrained :lol: ). Anyway, yeah, attitudes about adoption in modern Asia are, well, modern. Even if you look back a century or two, you'll find that more restrictive adopt...

Re: Chiyo Family fluff (Imperial)
I think that might be "wait and see" as I've absolutely no idea what Ryoko's finished goal actually looks like. Singletons or small parties of circuit-riding shugenja and surveyors from the family (plus some who stay in place at significant sites/shrines as keepers and observers) is about what we'd ...

Re: Chiyo Family fluff (Imperial)
This has been approved? If so, interesting. It looks like they're becoming a sort of wandering magistrate/priest family that keeps the spiritual situation under control? It was a goal/achievement thing from Dawn 1. We just figured that given our thoughts about how the family would take shape organi...

Chiyo Family fluff (Imperial)
It Has Been Pointed Out that while the players of Tsubo and Kara (me, that latter one is me :? ) wrote up all the Chiyo Family and School mechanics after the end of Dawn 1, we didn't actually do flavor text for the family itself. So we got our act together! There's no "Chiyo Family" yet as of Heaven...

Re: OOC Chat
Since there's been some talk about locations of things again, I thought I might as well share the scribble map I did to help get my bearings at the start of game. Canary appraised it as more or less accurate, at the time, but it's quite unofficial! Scorpion, Unicorn, and Lion aren't on here because ...

Re: GM Questions
I'd a question about Ko's offscreen goal here which I think did not get spotted in the scramble of D16--totally wasn't urgent then, but I guess now is the moment for it?

Re: Fish Out of Water (Ko)
we only had each other interact a little, which is unfortunate, but RL no Oni is a thing, and I think we tended to be in different locales a lot. That said, I loved watching her in fights and scenes. She could do a breathtaking amount of damage when she wanted. I don't play a lot of bruiser bushi, ...

Re: Fish Out of Water (Ko)
I promise no dissections let alone vivisection. I enjoyed the interactions with Ko. Kind of wish we had gotten the ball rolling on them earlier but hindsight is 20/20. I wish too, actually! This reminds me we can still push our D16 scene a little longer, if you like (fight consumed the attention I ...

Re: Fish Out of Water (Ko)
What's she gonna ask Shiba when Sora introduces her? Oh hmm! This depends a lot on *when* that happens. Ko's Obligation to the ningyo is urgent and time-sensitive. If she makes it all the way to the Imperial Capital before that is resolved, she would petition Shiba to send one of his siblings to he...

Can make a LE Thread collecting the survivors of the first line or wait until we see how the second line goes? Nobody knows there even are survivors until Reo's return in the Early Night. That said, there will be a thread to attempt retrieval during the Late Night slot as a result of this, if enoug...

Re: Doji Kaze: Stepping out of the Shadows
Are you willing to reveal unto us some of the mysterious Kaze backstory? OOC I was intrigued, but I never got to poke you about it IC, mostly because I was busy/distracted and having a hard time doing more than a couple of threads at a time. :oops: And I wasn't sure Ko, in particular would have actu...

Fish Out of Water (Ko)
I haven't been able to be as active this game as I'd have liked, but I find this AU setting awfully inspiring for character stuff, so I really enjoyed playing Ko anyway--including all the interactions I managed to toss her into with the rest of you, and getting to bash some bandits and ogres! Ko was...
