GM Questions

[Shosuro Kaoru]

Regarding the To Get the Perfect Gift, can do the Commerce (or Labor depending on the previous question answer) in guise of someone else?

[Ender]

Regarding Special Delivery, will there be follow up Events, or should it be more of a meddling kids investigating on their own time? Just for clarity

The intention is meddling kids. Though I do have other events related to what's going on there

[Ender]

First to Procure the supplies would be a Commerce check (Yasuki Merchant and Ide Trader techs could apply) TN 2. The difficulty could be reduced by 1 by spending 5 bu.

The second timeslot would then be Aesthetics at TN 2, may increase this to TN 3 to add the resplendent quality to the item.

What about those of us that don't mind doing a bit of Labor? Earth Trade skills are described as harvesting resources from the environment. Can I Labor (Earth) to go out into the forest or down by the shore to collect wood/stone/shells/wildflowers?

Could do the Labor, but no way to reduce the TN.

Teamwork is acceptable

Awesome! Thanks.

When is this famed gift giving event? Is that the Feast of Thanksgiving on the game schedule, or something else?

EE9 - Feast of Thanks

[Doji Arami]

1. Would it be possible to use a timeslot to investigate an NPC using a Skill?

Arami is thinking of buttering up either the Governor and/or the Magistrate with a gift (as Doji do) for an ask in the future, and would want to know these folk a little to give a thoughtful present.

2. Regarding creating artwork as I asked over at Discord, two timeslots (one for procuring supplies and another for crafting/refining)? May we know how you would want us to approach this?

1.) You may investigate. I would say this would be best handled with Sentiment, asking around town.

2.) Yes, let's add this, and it can only be attempted once per day.

Thank you for the clarity!

If I may follow up:

1. What would the TN be for investigating the Governor and/or the Magistrate? And may the Opportunities in the CRB be used during it?

2. Regarding the crafting, it would now be a single Aesthetics roll and no longer the Fire then Air rolls? And would we still be going for different TNs based on the approach? I ask because an Air opportunity allows for the adding of the Resplendent quality to an item (for them fancy Crane arts).

[Ikoma Aya]

XP spending here, after some indecision!

[Ide Yizhak]

Seconding the question about if we have to use fire approach for making a gift (since that is the only one which expressly says you make a new piece).

Would one be able to use earth to restore a recovered artefact instead?

[Togashi Shinko]

Shinko got a ridiculous amount of opportunity between two failures on the Honest Work event. (six total on two failures)

Is there anything juicy to use it for? Her reputation for her passion is codified? Her one success is remembered well? She draws a crowd to an event where she blows off some steam?

Just fishing for something to do with it.

[Isawa Natsuko]

Hmm. I think this thread is hitting the point where we can't just puppet the proprietor's hovering for a sale anymore. ^^ http://kiku.fallenash.com/viewtopic.php?p=4962#p4962

[Asahina Sakura]

If one character has Sixth Sense, and another character is Haunted, can the one with 6th sense sense the Haunting?

Yes

In "Stop, Thief," viewtopic.php?f=13&t=380, you note that "To catch the thief before he escapes, the PCs must accrue 25 Stop Points within 5 rounds. If 30 Stop Points are not accrued, the thief escapes." Just to be sure I'm understanding you correctly, do you mean:

1. We have 5 rounds to get to 25 Stop Points, then however long it takes to get to 30;
2. We have 5 rounds to get to 25 Stop Points, period; or
3. We have 5 rounds to get to 30 Stop Points, period?

Thanks!

I had originally written 30, and thought I got them all switched to 25.

It's 25

[Shosuro Kaoru]

Regarding the side plots going around, is this something we should be proactive about (by requesting encounters with NPC for example) or are the events already planned and we've just got to wait for then?

[Kuni Mitsuko]

What would be the appropriate location for a thread of visiting the horses that were borrowed for the Wilds challenge? Were they courtesy of the Unicorn and all in their lodgings' stables, or is there another location?

Thanks!
