Re: GM Questions
Is there going to be court every day at a specific hour?
Just realised that in terms of planning for Player Events.

Sort of. I'll make note in the Event Schedule that an Audience hour is held Early Afternoon each day. That was my bad.Togashi Satsuki wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 5:15 pmIs there going to be court every day at a specific hour?

Re: GM Questions
Would the Master of Games path technique apply to the event? Here is the wording:
When making a Social Skill Roll against someone of higher Status, you gain a +2k1 bonus so long as you maintain a modest and subservient manner and tone.

This is correct. You're being sent by the Kami to the wedding of the niece, they'll provide you something appropriate nice.Assuming gifts are provided by the clan and not coming out of personal funds?

Re: GM Questions
Asking for now and future events, do Togashi Tattoos count as Magic in events?
And the age old question of if Benten's Blessing applies in this Event.

In the grand tradition of asking this very dumb but still relevant question: Are the gift-giving rolls considered to be contested?

Fair warning that if the answer to this question is Yes, I'll have to ask the obligatory Bayushi follow-up (how many points of disadvantages?).Viveki Doshi wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 8:07 pmIn the grand tradition of asking this very dumb but still relevant question: Are the gift-giving rolls considered to be contested?
Usually I assume static TN rolls aren't, though? Since contested is two characters opposing dice pools.

Glory: 2 ▪ Status: 2 ▪ Honor: Untrustworthy ▪ Description
Accoutrements: Extravagant clothing, veils, kanazashi and jewelry, fan, small sheaf of writing paper, etc.
Sometimes: Koto, medical kit, or daisho.

Just 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?

Re: GM Questions
I 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?

I 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)?
