"It's been a while since I spent much time in the wilds. My duty keeps me in towns and strongholds more these days," Kogi admits. "I used to get out more often, gathering and hunting. And training with my lord's sensei, for a few years." She glances sidelong. "What kind of other things?" "Ah... I s...

"Hai... just watching over her cubs until they were old enough to cross. She had to fend from hunters and people that seemed that wanted to harm her or her cubs." Sasori sighed. "I don't like poachers." She looked at the otters and giggled. "She showed me many things... That is why I feel I have to...

This is an idea for the path: Spirit Realms Magistrate Replaces: Any Bushi, Courtier, or Shugenja School, Rank 3 Requirements: Investigation 3, Lore: Spirit Realms 3, must have Child of Chikushudo or Touch of the Realm Advantage Technique: Scholar of the Spirits – Scholar of the Spirit realms is a ...

I'd just add here something that has been said before on other topics, but - I don't feel we should have a problem with Dawn straying too far from canon in this, or, in other words, I don't feel we should rush to make things "like they were in canon". Of course the "rush" part doesn't apply so much ...

Superstition-wise, 7 makes sense, 9 does not (due to 'ku' one of the ways to pronounce it, also meaning torture or agony). 4 is also horrible as the reading 'shi' also means 'death'. 13 is somewhat thought unlucky, but due to Western influence. So... 7 or 11. Or maybe 13. As I said before, prime num...

"It was odd..." She shrugged "My cat self could reach into the spirit where my human self could not." She smiled at the otter girl when they reached the water. "So what kind of fishing are we doing today." "Ah... so the bear was a spirit after all! A... stray spirit, I'm guessing? Again, I've... he...

"Me a shaman... no... I am connected to The realm of animals in a special way." Sasori giggled. "My title in the Scorpion is quite literal Chai sama. I think I am a cat spirit but I don't know much about it." Hearing Sasori's answer, the Ki-rin's smile widens even more. "Oh... a connection to anima...

Ah, I think I may be thinking of things wrong here then. I'd thought Dawn 4 would be the game for the Thunders, and I didn't remember it was a 'mini-game'. Also... not sure what 'mini-game' would mean here? Is it like a shorter game (like Tales)? Or a game for less people? I do understand the idea t...

Might be able to prevent breezing through by having a default NPC that wins if players don't do well enough to beat them. But als have it so when it's time to do the job those NPCs only do passably and enable progress through self sacrifice, leaving the drama of the Day of Thunder to the players. I...

Sasori was smiling at this trip. "Hai... well... Akodo sama may have told you some things. I did connect with the mother bear to a very... spiritual way." "A... Spiritual way? From what I've heard... the bear itself was a spirit, right? But then..." she looks at Sasori, a bit confused. "I didn't kn...

Honestly, it'd probably be best to put a down payment on a School. Schools are expensive and if you are the Clan Thunders, you probably will not be able to use your GD for the Schools. Your GD is being a Thunder not founding a School. Since a Path is almost half the price of a School, it'd probably...

I totally see your point here, Kogi, and I don't want Hikaru to feel cheated by his point going towards that (we did speak on Discord about that, though! I'm adding this here after the fact ;) ) But I should probably say - I'm actually the one that kept insisting it might be fun to keep GD for both ...

Misaki seems a bit out of breath but not unhappy, "Nets are scary... but I can hardly argue with the results." She looks up at Kotsume and smiles, "And that's a wonderful idea. With how cold it's been and with all the local guests, I'm guessing the local townsfolk have been making due a bit. Nothin...

It was now a week since Kotsume promised Sasori that fishing trip after the Ice Fishing Challenge, and so much had happened that they hadn't found a time for it yet. But a promise was a promise - and besides, Kotsume had been hoping to talk to the Scorpion girl about some things. How awesome it was ...

With the otters now occupying Rei's attention, Hen backed away and turned to nuzzle into Kotsume's offered hand. "Regardless, I do hope the Bat and the Ki-Rin grow closer. You are our closest neighbor and we have shared training and resources to some extent." she said. "I hope Ryōko-chan is fairing...

Having found a new instrument to borrow, thanks to her uncles, Satsuki did show up for a meeting with the Ki-rin girl carrying the instrument in her arms with care. It wasn't hers so she had to show extra caution with it. "Hello there," she greeted upon seeing Kotsume, as she had followed the sound...

Misaki flops down, panting for breath. Maybe not the best idea to sit in the snow itself, but the outer layers are at least a little water resistant, and she's more than warm. Kotsume keeps standing for a while, but panting as well, then starts extending a hand to Misaki... but then ends up sitting...

I'm pitching my vote for one per faction (with Nezumi). But again, I'd be totally on board for more slots.

And 13 does sound like a good number. I'd go with prime numbers, just because XD so if not 7, then 11 or 13!

I'm fine opening it up to more people. If 'Fortune favors the mortal man", I see no reason for any special particular number apart from 1 from each mortal "group" participating.

I really like this idea. But it seems none have gone for "others" yet? Perhaps due to fear of 11 losing to others?

I'm going with Kogi to try to tame an animal for her on D9 (as per her placing on the Animal Handling event ;) ) as we couldn't fit this in earlier. Do we just assume we couldn't find one, or assume we 'could' find one, or is there space for a roll there? Don't want to impose and I know it's very la...
