GM Question Thread

Matsu Mogami · **Posted:** Mon Apr 06, 2020 4:51 pm

Figured I'd get this one kicked off. Thread for GM questions that are likely information for everyone to know instead of just your private forums one.

First questions:

-How deep is the snow outside of the city?

-Looking at some maps, it shows this city near the coast. Is the port open, or frozen over?

-Samurai lodging, are we assumed to be staying in the castle?

-Are there shops on the streets other than the ones you mentioned? For example, if one wanted to buy some trinkets, clothes, a gift for someone, etc could they make up a shop? Or would you prefer us not.

-Is there an archery range at the dojo/inside the city?

Where can my horse be kept? Is there a stable in the castle or town?

It depends on where you are. Most of the roads and paths are a couple inches. Off in the woods, you've got pretty deep drifts that could be a foot or two.

The port is not connected to the city, but it is open.

Most likely.

Yup, just make up whatever (within reason).

No, but they have targets you can set up somewhere safe.

Do the social rolls in the event count as contested as they're to make convincing arguments/keeping your cool when faced with insults?

Can those of us not in the Event use magic (kiho, spells, tattoos, mysteries, riddles) for our Influence rolls?

Not for this one, since it's court. That sort of thing is frowned upon.

There will be other non-court threads through.

*thumbs up*

Figured as much. Good to know for the future though.

Ikoma Homura · **Posted:** Mon Apr 06, 2020 6:53 pm

Is there a forum location for where we are staying? I can't work out if it's Shiro no Shisen as a general holdall place for threads or if that's just the court location.

Togashi Tsukimi · **Posted:** Mon Apr 06, 2020 6:57 pm

Should we track Influence rolls in our PF or here in the OOC, since it might be difficult to spot the rolls in the Court scene (and future scenes that allows for Influence rolls)?

Track them in the court thread and in your private forums, just to be sure it gets seen.

Was the entire of the late Emperor's Court evacuated here as well?

Is there a port or harbor in the city? If so, in which sub forum such a location should be posted on?

Surrounding areas?

A couple of questions in my private forum here

Matsu Mogami · **Posted:** Mon Apr 06, 2020 8:45 pm

Are servants quartered with their master in the same room, or inside the castles general servants quarters?
