You can if you're a sufficiently skilled artisan.Doji Misaki wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 12:27 amJust a basic one; For those with Craft or Artisan skills, would there be the possibility for such people to have made a gift for the gifting event?
Exactly.Kuu wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 1:21 amI just assumed I was part of creating my gift. Didn't do any rolls for it because it would have happened before game. I imagine if yor family wanted you to create something for a gift you probably would have been given time and resources to make it perfect.Doji Misaki wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 12:27 amJust a basic one; For those with Craft or Artisan skills, would there be the possibility for such people to have made a gift for the gifting event?
You will be using your influence at the end, you'll just be distributing it to others if you want during game. Or banking it for your Clan Goal.Hisomu Kuni wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 2:02 amI didn't see this asked, but I scrolled through, so I'm not sure.
Can we use out points before the game is over (ie complete the Clan goal)?
Nope.Hantei Kinsen wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 2:03 amIs gifting a blade considered offense/taboo this early in the Empire?
They have them in the castle town.

If Tsubaki was to gift tea would she be able to sub Craft for Lore in the gift giving rolls?
Edit: And would the Courtesy emphasis apply to Etiquette rolls for the gift giving? (I assume Manipulation would not apply to Courtier)

Re: GM Questions
Oh actually - got a follow-up question for this one as well - could two different competitors use the *same* animal if necessary? Or should we limit the number of competitors to the number of animals we have available?Chai Kotsume wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 2:26 amHey Birb! Requesting approval for 2 co-hosted events here : )

Bit of a fluff question I guess, but it's worth knowing I think

Re: GM Questions
Just for my own understanding, EE is the wedding, but only a certain amount of people can attend (or it's late into EE and reception etc is LE) so having threads in the EE slot isn't missing the wedding?

Re: GM Questions
Courtesy emphasis applies, you cannot sub rolls. This is the actual giving of the gifts, not the creation.Doji Tsubaki wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 3:25 amIf Tsubaki was to gift tea would she be able to sub Craft for Lore in the gift giving rolls?

Cheers!
Included one more minor change to this one. Based on what you said before, it shouldn't be a problem I think

Just to make sure; Even with pure blood magic, it's something only those with a "gift" can use? IE; People who aren't part of a shugenja school can't spill some blood and attempt to importune the kami and a spell?

Out of curiosity, where do the monks sleep? Are we put up in one of the temples or are there rooms set aside in the guest area for monks?

Re: GM Questions
Oh, yeah!
Is Ananzihime the very first of the Kami-children to get married? I know she has an older sibling, and Hida, Shiba, and Togashi also have adult NPC children by now (not counting the Bat, Stag, and one of the Dragon heirs because they're all here and professedly single ), so I suddenly realized I shouldn't just assume.
