Interest check for a Game of Letters?
Feels like something the First Winter Court should maybe have, right? Poems, riddles, artsy-fartsy back-and-forth?
I have some fairly firm thoughts about how to structure it simply, as a rolling thing that takes up neither specific time slots nor GM effort, but are enough other folks interested to make it worthwhile? Would you enjoy sending pretty (or silly!) anonymous letters for the general diversion of the court?

Haha, I'm hoping it will be intuitive in-character? We'd more or less be inventing it, anyway.Hantei Kinsen wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 7:54 pmIm in, although Kinsen has NO CLUE of how this works. Will there be a lecture?

Lack the skills but honestly...I was half thinking Ayano would start doing something like this on her own. So all in XD

Here's a place to start!

Let me know if you have any questions. You don't even have to follow those very basic rules to add to the Game, but I thought it might be fun to have some framework there.

Re: Interest check for a Game of Letters?
FWIW, I'll tally this up at the close of D8, so if you want to be immortalized in poetry the deadline approaches. XD
Poets and writers who wrote anonymously, if you want to dedicate your works 'to the glory of' somebody other than yourself, and/or remain anonymous, let me know here maybe? Otherwise I'll assume your poems will be credited to you eventually by future generations.
The Book of One Hundred Leaves, maybe? ("Ten thousand leaves" seems a stretch for a game with a couple dozen players XD)

The Book of Ten Leaves.
IIRC, Satsuki's poems were dedicated to Hikaru.
