GM Questions and Requests

[Susumu Sumiko]

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.

Just wanted to check, is this whole glory/infamy ranks (so for example if someone was glory rank 2.6 would it be 2x5 or 2.6x5)?

Bid rolls--these happen offscreen. All else being equal, is it more convenient for the GMs if we make a topic in our own PF or post in the [Whatever] Clan Bid Points topic?

For this game, we will elect the simple approach and easy math with whole numbers. Glory Ranks as in whole numbers. So, 2.6 will be considered a 2.

It is honestly an either-or approach. Preferably, for the sake of coordination in your delegation, it will be on your Clan Bid Point topics. However, if secrets or privacy are a thing, people are allowed to have it on their PF.

In a situation of privacy is wanted, a happy medium would be to post in the Clan Bid Point and link to your PF.

There is a magistrate's office on Friendship Street if you wish to drop by.

[Yoritomo Yakura]

Is there a city/planet-wide social media platform that everyone can use to some extent? Something like instagram, twitter or something like that?

Three things, if it please the GMs:

1. Bookkeeping here, viewtopic.php?t=171&start=7
2. Paging Yasuki Kaito, viewtopic.php?t=390
3. How're y'all liking things so far?

Yes. With the way the net works in the setting, there isn't quite an 'Empire Wide Net', it's mostly contained to the Clan (so they can better control information and content). Imperial and allied affiliates' exceptions apply, of course.

But you're asking about the city and planet-wide, so yes. Fishbook, Instaguppy, and (Fish)Line (not super official names, don't @ me).

Piggybacking off this, and not *entirely* facetiously...is there an OnlyCrabs?

For me, it's been going great so far, thank you. I am reminded that GMing is tough work, but also very rewarding. I'm quite happy to see people playing and posting.

Scandalous stuff to imply samurai would do such a thing.

OnlyOiran, obv.

Just wanted to doublecheck - as the Bidding Rolls mentions persuading locals/building better relations does Benten's Blessing apply here?

Yes, it does. Will be edited in.

[Miya Kisha]

Do I ask y'all to post this, or do I do it (and, if so, where)?

And apologies if brains start to bleed from it...

Hm, yes, we will post this. Just a reminder, it is best when content is written and prepared to be posted on the next day. Like a rumour!

This one is fine, Kisha is going live!

Is the atoll mentioned in The Sea location, Osano-Wo's Eye, visitable by a swift ship in a timeslot or two?

We're out in the jungle, looking for birds, if you want to throw birds or anything else at us.
