While one must understand what's being said to record it properly, it's more difficult to keep one's own biases and opinions from coloring the text. The recorder must be able to step outside of themselves while they work. Players must make a Lore: Meditation/Void roll, TN 25. Success grants 1 Recording Point, with 1 additional Recording Point per Raise. While failure will not stop them from continuing, a work based on a failed roll may acquire a questionable reputation.

Is there any chance this is meant to be Meditation/Void instead of Lore: Meditation/Void?

Rewards and Consequences:
Each participant who successfully finishes the event gains 2 Influence Points. The participant who earns the most Recording points will gain 4 Influence points, and their work will become the definitive Tao of Shinsei, immortalizing them for the foreseeable future. The recording takes until Late Evening, so the winner and anyone who finished the event and chooses to complete their version of the work will not be able to participate in events between Early Afternoon and Early Night Day 5.

Underscored relevant part. Does this mean we can't do any threads at all for Day 5 if participating?

So, sitting as we are at 0 for 3 on the first leg... who's the default NPC that writes the Tao is none of us makes it?

(This is not really a serious question, Dear GMs, and do not feel compelled to answer it)

Dice goof query:

In the last roll for the Tao event (here), I mis-coded in Orokos and rolled 6k4 when my actual dice pool (with Void Point, noted in the roll description) is 6k5. If I use the dice results as rolled but also keep the fifth die, I pass the roll. (If I only keep the top four dice, I fail.)

Is handling it as above okay'? Or should I reroll entirely?

Accidentally grabbed a 4d10 exploding for my unskilled roll. A 10 did explode but roll would have still passed without the explosion (by 1...). Would you prefer a reroll or just pretend it didn't explode.

Influence question...

Do we need to formally state in open Court what our goal is and spend the influence to achieve it, or is it something we hash out in the postgame?

- i assume those without void can not do this step?

And I assume those without literacy, making a memory stick won't count?

As to meditation, let me think about what else you could do, or let me know if you have an alternative suggestion.

Honestly, I'd let you make a memory stick record of it if you wanted to. It'd only count for two influence since the rats don't have a lot of political pull in Rokugan, but it could be a fluff thing of interest to the Nezumi Empire.
