Re: There and Back Again: A Birb's Tale (GM Canary Q&A)
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...

Re: There and Back Again: A Birb's Tale (GM Canary Q&A)
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 ...

Re: There and Back Again: A Birb's Tale (GM Canary Q&A)
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 ...

Re: OOC Chat
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...

There and Back Again: A Birb's Tale (GM Canary Q&A)
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...

Re: OOC Chat
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...

Re: OOC Chat
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...

Re: The Descent
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...

Re: GM Questions
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.

I definitely agree. I've seen some tentative political factions forming.Nanzi wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2020 2:20 pmI think we already see seeds of conflict between the clans even with the siblings.Seidou Satone wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2020 2:15 pmWell, the infighting between clans won't really happen likely until after the kami die. Tons of possibilities now!

Re: The Descent
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...

Re: [LE, D16] Closing the Portal
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]
