GM Questions

[Jiyo Ayumu]

Same question for TA and Jiyo Bushi actually.

Consider "Adding Honor/Reputation to stuff doesn't stack unless explicitly stated" to be my blanket ruling on such things.

[Reiko]

Is magic allowed for events? I might have missed it, but I can't see anything about magic on them

[Jiyo Ayumu]

The trick is, Shiba Bushi is not a static bonus.

From my understanding:
With Tawagoto's Army, when you spend Void to add +1k1, you also add your Reputation
With "Jiyo" Bushi 1, you may spend two Void points at once to add +2k2.
So with both, are you able to spend to spend 2 Void Points at once for +2k2+Reputation (with Reputation being only added once of course)?

(from a gameplay perspective, this seems balanced as you spend twice the resources for half the bonus, but it of course helps reaching higher heights on a single roll)

I apparently didn't disallow it, so let's go with magic allowed.

I see what you're saying. I'm going to okay that one simply because you're not doubling the rep, you're just adding it when you spend Void. Jiyo Bushi just lets you spend 2 at once. So those work fine together. As you surmised, Rep is only added once.

For gathering the supplies...I know that it says using Low Skills may have consequences later, so it's likely meant to be vague...

But I was wondering: What does using Intimidate imply, roleplaying wise?

Same question for the Stealth.

[Bayushi Umeno]

Players may roll for this event any time between EM and LE, and may roll for it in other threads. Please note the time slot you are using in the thread, and link the thread if you rolled there.

Just to make sure on this;

1) "Roll for it in other threads" - These still need to be in the Courtroom? I take it this means it doesn't need to be in an 'event' thread.

2) "Link the thread if you rolled there" - PF is always helpful, but does this mean we should link event rolls into the main event thread?

Intimidate can be a variety of things, whether looming over and glaring at some poor bastard or wandering around a place going, "Gee, nice place, it'd be terrible if something happened to it.

Stealth your stealing other people's stuff for the expedition.

[Taochusu]

from Discord:

so, can the rolls for packing be made during different time slots or do they all have to be done in one time slot for the roller?

Different time slots is fine.
For my sanity, though
Please only make one post in the thread.
Consolidate your links

1) It can be in other area, but create a post in the event thread with a link (or multiple links if you spread the rolls out throughout the day) to the thread and post where you made the roll. Please consolidate your links into one post for the sake of my sanity.

2) Yes.

Basically, what Taochusu posted above. I'll clarify in the event description also.

Any bonus to the point pool for Packing the Expedition for shugenja with Inari's Blessing (feed 3 people, per day, per successful Water/Void slot used not counting any raises)?

You may use it to gain a single Provision point for "Gathering the Rest", but no more, even with raises. It's not a whole lot of food for the group heading out.

[Bayushi Umeno]

If we want an event roll to take place off screen, such as before or after a thread or in secret, can we post the roll with the relevant time slot in our PF and link to the event thread from there? Or do all event rolls need to be in public threads?

That's fine, but it'll eat that time slot whole.

Can I still do the event if I am making a weapon?

[Jin]

Any benefit to the packing logistics roll due to Way of the Land: Seidou - since that grants a knowledge of routes and resources available within the province?

[Seidou Satone]

What would the TN and time required to create a portable forge?

Example:

No. Speaking as a cosplayer, trying to put together something somewhat complex in a very limited amount of time is... well, time consuming.

I'm willing to grant a free raise on Gathering the Rest.

What would the TN and time required to create a portable forge?

Let's go into more detail on that in your PF. I need to know the materials you're using for each part, etc. For instance, plaster as used in the video wouldn't work because gypsum plaster wasn't used until later, and lime/sand plaster takes like two weeks to dry. It will also be limited to small scale, non-martial metalwork.

[Seidou Satone]

Pretty much all the weapons and armor in the book are made from metal at this point correct and not Steel?

Do arrows use the errata price for crafting, or the listed book price?

How many slots are needed crafting wise to equal 1 day? just 1?

You only need to roll initially for the crafting of multiple days, correct?
