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?
Errata.
A day's worth of slots, so, 6.
Yes.

In order. The discussion is going from the basics to more complex.

Re: GM Questions
For disturbing countenance, does that apply to event rolls like courtier?
Also, could I adjust my traveling pack to have spare instrument parts? It occurs to me that I might want them for experimenting/fixing things.

It's actually about the same time of year as IRL. Late to very late spring.

Re: GM Questions
For crafting, lots of folks asking for stuff I have no clue how to answer.
I have Craft: Armorsmith, Blacksmith, and Weaponsmith, but I do not have Engineering, so I don't know if I can come up with ideas that they propose, or if they would have to come up with it and then tell me about it and I create it
There's going to be a ton of questions about item materials and price, so we can determine the TN and amount of time required.
For example, someone asked if I could combine a nunchuckan and a bo, to essentially make a three-ring staff.
I know in real life if someone described it to me and I had workable materials, I could try and whip something up, but no idea how it works in game since anyone can just come up with an idea. Does it need some sort of roll first to get that idea?

Re: GM Questions
Yay!
Also, is there a commonly accepted 'way to talk to each other' such as the suffixes of modern Rokugan, or is that more of a thing the Crane are introducing people to still?

Re: GM Questions
Nope.
You can come up with ideas for armor, metal tools and materials, and weapons with that. It would take a roll.

Crane are working on it. Y'all are probably gonna accidentally insult each other a lot at first with different tribal cultures bumping against each other. Part of what Doji's methods were created to help with.Ongaku no Ryoko wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 1:16 amYay!

Go for it. By the river would probably not be bad, or out in the surrounding farmland.

She's being a little barbarian tribal girl and bathing by the side of the river, so I'm going to go with the farmland!
Seriously, soft beds, roofs over your head and hot baths are for lowlanders.

Re: GM Questions
Regarding crafting (crafting is a never-ending source of questions), can the time needed to craft a given object be split between several characters? Like, the main crafter spends 4 of their slot, and their helper 2 of their own? If so, how rolling works?

In the Jigoku discussion event, if there's enough talking between rolls can one player do two rolls in a row?
