Of course it will be fun!

Glad you will finally join us, Okimi. Do you have a background in mind already?
Don't worry, I will not push the Yogo idea any further.

I think a shugenja of the Phoenix Clan sounds pretty much like me :)

I'm planning on doing the character creation over the next couple of days (weekend are less busy). Mostly I will be a healer I think. I know that is suboptimal in Pathfinder, but we'll see how it works out :)

I agree!

Let's pump up our will saves, people, we don't want to get possesed. We all know how spell happy phoenixes are.

How deep is this in Rokugan? Full on Fu Leng causing trouble or are we just using clans and ideas?

I think this is the GM's setting, but he incorporated Rokugani things.

That said, when he accepted the clans I guess he accepted their packages. Their history may be different, but what can they do and what they are willing to do not.


Have you considered the Cranes, Okimi?

Ah. Ill hold off on jade arrows for now then.

Sakura, surely you won't believe that such a pure and good heroine will possibly go Five Nights of Shame on fellow party members at the first opportunity?

Can I request the character sheet be made available for editing

I've sorted Okimi out well enough (still need to spend cash) but would be happy to start IC if that's possible

Yeah :)

For character sheet just copy and paste it into your character details section.

I'd like it in the character sheet please.

It's easy to enable: you just edit it and at the bottom there is a button marked 'user editable' at the moment I can't edit it

Thanks

Edit: basically the 'character details' place needs to be enabled by you

Thank you!

First draft of character sheet ready. Looking forwards to seeing how this works out

I'm good to go!

Hi people. The GM has kindly allowed me to post :) Hurrah! I'm just doing some info gathering before the first post.

Welcome back.

Thank you



You have discovered what I have asked the GM... why am I here alone? Without bodyguards?

Roleplay reason: Perhaps you are expendable like the rest of us?
Real Life reason: The GM doesn't want to add NPCs to the party, so he doesn't have to manage a lot of NPCs every encounter?

The essence of Rokugan (or similar) is clan membership (for me anyway).

So I've suggesting 'my bodyguards were killed en route and I'm here to complete the mission'.

I share the NPC issue by the way, no problems with it... I just want to capture the feeling of the society.

or we can just 'look the other way' and not bother about the society... just treat it as USA 2020s... most games do that.

I think it is very important too. For characters that are linked to the clans, at least.

Few people would dare to harm someone who has the Phoenix mon inside the Empire. Someone really didn't want you to arrive.

Indeed so. All good starting material :)

One of the nice things about this kind of game is that you are not divorced from society but are part of it. In lots of game adventurers just 'watch society'. I like this quite a lot

Just FYI




The GM has moved us out of the baths and into an Inn

I disagree... Every seeting can offer you to be more than just a poor adventurer. But of course, the "poor adventurer" option is always a great way to play most concepts.

John, for example, has no connections to the Rokugani society.
A character who belong to one of the dragonmarked houses, would have several ways to blend in society in Eberron.
A mage that has taken a mantle in the Tower of High Sorcery in Dragonlance will have some duties that will incorporate him into the society.

And so on.

We could have made poor peasants with special capabilities that has to defend themselves before the Lion samurais arrive, with no relation to any clan, except bondage.


About the baths, maybe the GM forgot Ryu was already walking to it? If I am there, Bayushi had to go and get clean. I will wait for a clarification from the GM.

So... is anyone against hiring John or make the lord hire him? I can't think of any way to attract him to put his skin in danger.

He sounds funny and staggering handsome. I vote we let him join.
