What all else can we do to help you world-build moving forward? Specific and concrete plans are good. To what extent did we surprise you with fixating on red herrings, maguffins, and asking for intricate details about obscure L5R lore bits such as ogres, nezumi, etc. How much did we surprise you by...

I'm sure some most interesting things will be coming from this! :twisted: Related to this, I'd be curious to know what some of the possible consequences were for the other results (Partial Victory, Partial Failure, Complete Failure), maybe what you had in mind for these right at game start and any ...

Always a pleasure to play, loved the game would be interested in knowing what didn't work for you and what did? The escalating TN events turned out to be a great success. Those were also inspired by the heist events you did in Shadows over Bankor, so you're partly to thank there. Players seemed to ...

+5 XP for session 3 and +5 for game end.

I'll admit that, were the world in a better state, I would have been proudly amused if we got to the end only to find there were never enough available purity points for the perfect ending. But given how things are right now - yes, happy ending please. There actually initially weren't, but we decid...

Hey, everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the game. We tried a lot of different stuff this game, and I was surprised to find how much of it worked. Some of it didn't, but we've really learned a lot this game. I'm happy so many seem to have enjoyed what we put together. It was stressful at times, but I h...

Day 17-23: Marching Day 24: Epilogue Location: Dà Shānchéngì - Great Mountain City The Anjing family’s growing capital sits on the northern border of the tribe’s lands. By southern standards it is incredibly flat land and the fertile soil is increasingly turned over to agriculture as the tribe is ab...

I'm glad you've all had such good experiences here, even if a few things were rocky at times. (snip) I think high tension, and genuinely not knowing if things will go your way down to the last second, is important to that final catharsis of the happy ending. I think that's part of why some endings f...

Yeah, under the circumstances, I didn't want to do a full on meat grinder... And honestly, I don't find meat grinders to be particularly fun, even when I'm playing in them. Players tend to get very stressed out and upset, and as the GM, that means they get stressed out and upset at me . Besides that...

Kyosei looks at the large creature. Then makes one more slice on his forearm. He only hopes the Water spirits are willing to listen. Which they are, to an extent. But against the large creature's size? Would it be enough? __________ Heals 13 wounds for Koyama. It's enough to stop the bleeding, leav...

While Nanzi and Shinjo spoke the gaze continued.

This is a Very Normal and Ordinary Raven, now that you really look at it.

Am I lost to the Shadowlands or can I return to camp? If I have XP left from when we go xp can I get a skill and be active this day? You can return. Yes. Do those who formed clans/families in game 1 have cities already for their clans? No. At most, they have towns, and like 1/4 to 1/2 of one castle...

The raven hopped up along Nanzi's arm to his shoulder and stared back, cocking its head in a very bird-like fashion.

He's even managed to get most of it off before Kinyoubi managed to collide into him with a hug.

Moonset... You're okay... I'm so happy to hear that. We can finally rebuild... Our pups can have a future... He can hear tears in her eyes as she spoke, as well, her voice breaking. Thank you...!

Well, the infighting between clans won't really happen likely until after the kami die. Tons of possibilities now!

I think we already see seeds of conflict between the clans even with the siblings.

I definitely agree. I've seen some tentative political factions forming.

Great work team!

I loved the mechanic for hitting a specific TN. That was a really nice touch

I'm glad you liked it. I'd call that a successful experiment.

Congratulations, everyone! The group ended with over 100 Purity, and all end game events were successfully completed. This means: Fu Leng has been rescued and is untainted Hantei is alive The Portal to Jigoku is closed There are still complications in the background, but this was a massive victory f...

Suddenly, the earth thundered as the shugenja uttered their final prayers as the portal shattered and then vanished, robbing the monster of its connection to Jigoku. Without a name or a connection to its home plane, it was dragged back to the Realm of Evil, leaving Shinjo, Koyama, and the divers inj...

As the pure elements came together, the portal seemed to crack and then shatter, the pure elements shutting off the connection and filling the point of impact.

The gigantic monster, without its connection to the Realm of Evil, disappeared.

The Portal to Jigoku was destroyed.

[Success]
