If you'd like to fluff the casting roll I gave you as that, go ahead.

I didn't actually limit Earth castings by timeslot.

Two--no, three--things, please:
  1. For the D9 starlog, viewtopic.php?t=207&start=13
  2. When would be a good time D9 to meet with the governor and/or the karo regarding an idea for Bon Festival? There's some stuff as will need permissions, etc.
  3. Are y'all still having a good time? What can we do to make it a better one for y'all? It's been one hell of a game so far!
Imperial * Herald * Small * Gossip * Medialite
Status 3.0 * Glory 4.8 * Exceptionally Honorable
Generally has a little bit of cash, good clothes, wakizashi, densai, communicator; holodrone probably following along
Might be packing; you never know

1) Done!
2) Hm, I'd say anytime in the morning
3) Yes! Just continue to be awesome and show patience! I am happy that I've been able to GM a game while juggling work (when I shoudn't be posting, TBH...) with routine errands, RL and etc. This is all thanks to my co-GM Hatoful GM, but also because of the players! Thank you all for being understanding and wonderful!

Zero incidents of someone demanding day flips, that's also a win, too.

If we want to spend the bid points for a gentry during the game how does any clan do that - do we just reply to the 'bid point' thread in our respective clan forum?

That would likely be best and keep it in the same place.

Boogiepop wrote: Mon Sep 29, 2025 4:31 pm Spreading Gossip

Characters may use the Courtier skill to spread gossip. To do so, they must succeed at a Courtier (Gossip)/Awareness or Use Computers/Intelligence check against a TN equal to 15 plus the target's Glory x5, minus their Infamy x5. If the rumours involves multiple characters, calculate the TNs for every character involved and then use the highest TN. If the rumours involves no characters at all, calculate the TN of the rumour as if it involved a Glory 2.0 character (TN 25). Characters may call a Raise on this roll to conceal the fact that they are the source of the gossip. Spreading gossip takes time and effort and no character may spread more than three rumours per IC day. These rolls must be made and the requested rules posted in your Personal Forum the night before the IC day ends.

Tracking Down Gossip

It is possible to track the gossip. This is time consuming work, requiring at least two time slots and an Investigation/Awareness roll against the TN of the rumour. On a success, the character manages to track the rumour back to its source, and learns who first began that particular bit of gossip. On a failure, the character has learned nothing and may try again in a later, though the TN is increased by 5 for each failure. This use of the Investigation skill is considered to be a Social Skill Roll.
