GM Questions

[Fukurokujin]

Would it be a Commerce check to get some fluff provisions for PC scene, or should we just roll with it?
EDIT: as an extension, willing to spend some IC currency for some better food/drink to offer as gifts.

For the regular stuff, handwave it.
For the fancier stuff, make the Commerce check to see if it's available and affordable for you.

Any particular TN, or just see what happens?

For grins, we'll call it TN 2 to find the item at list price. Each additional success lowers the price by, say, 15% (per success, so 4 sux takes the price to 72% of the original rather than 70%; i.e., 2 sux to get it, the third to lower it to 85% of list price, the fourth to lower it to 85% of the 85%).

For the event, participating characters will start with full Void, Composure, and Endurance; these do not refresh between attempts. They may attempt a number of activities listed below equal to their Focus; each activity may be attempted more than once, but the TNs involved in that activity increase by 1 for each attempt after the first.

Void I know we can spend on rolls, Composure tied to strife but what about Endurance; do we lose one after each roll or something?

Endurance is to body as Composure is to mind/emotions. It will mainly come up in combat/duels.

Thought of another question:

[Kasuga Yoshi]

I don't think so, but I wanted to check: is there a way to follow up on tidbit like a rumor? Or is it something to keep in your back pocket and use as a prompt to interact with people?

Nothing mechanical, no, although it could be RPed usefully--although there is some peril with broaching some topics with some people.

Have fun!

Is it worthwhile to try to turn coin into bartering goods for later? Or will it not matter/use flat currency for simplicity?

How's your Divination?

[Kasuga Yoshi]

Fair. I'll rephrase: while we are relatively close to start is it reasonable to exchange a portion of available currency into assorted bartering supplie?

Or at any point the Legion is in a town or city, yes.

Same rule as last time for availability: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=12&start=18

Ok that's really good to know. Thank you.

Some clarity on the Muster Event:

You get a number of rolls on the event equal to your focus. These rolls can be made on Day 1 or Day 2. (Though Day 1 is closed now so Day 2 for any rolls you haven't made).

[Fukurokujin]

Following up:

Event rolls and general Metagame rolls are independent of each other unless indicated. That is, unless the Event says so, a player may roll for both the Event *and* the daily Metagame.

[Utaku Mukai]

For the Left/Right/Under metagame:

Do later deductions from Strength/Discipline due to bad rolls deduct from previous additions to this part of the metagame?

For instance:

D1 Mukai contributes 6 Strength and 4 Discipline and thus 10 points to the Left/Right/Under as chosen.
D2 Mukai causes a loss of 1 Discipline. Does this decrease her contribution to the Left/Right/Under to 9 or does that remain at 10?

Regular Metagame is a running total, yes.

Is the night rest full void .meaning up to ring, or the way that regular pen and paper rest works which is half void?

We are experimenting with full void, since it can be a bit harder to regain void through things like secret TNs or specific disadvantages in pbp play. Now whether this makes Void 1 characters unviable, or Void 3 characters broken, remains to be seen. But we won't yank the void rug out from under you this game. We appreciate everyone's patience and experience as we hammer out 5e pbp.

[Doji Hametsu]

Is there a place where the Legion's current (or current as of Day-change) Discipline and Strength are visible?

Only in the gm backstage

[Isawa Mari]

Inital readthrough questions for the event while I decide if it's sensible for Mari to do it (or would be more of a liability)

1. I'm going to assume magic that is an attack action works in the event.

In which case, when I get to rolling later, and assuming it succeeds, does resisting a Fitness (Air 2, Water 5) check still come out at Ring 3, Skill 1 for them? (certainly the easiest option)

2. There are a couple of range choices for the bandit's attack. Player's choice? (I'm frankly assuming they'll go first, given my usual luck with init rolls). Seeing as my Intercept would preferably not mean running to within Range 1. ^^
