I may have played that differently if I knew :P

My bad. I'm used to secret rolling everything and sending a private line to the GM. I wasn't sure if it applied so I waited on the GM and forgot about it until the talk about strife happened.

Next time I'll be more on the ball. It was a fun scene anyways.

Please do public rolls. As much as I like the setting-- this game system with its unusual dice is convoluted enough that even I get hopelessly confused.

If you had the ability to lower strife via opportunity, it is meant to apply to a single target-- whomever your roll related to.

But your secret roll was this, right?


01:18, Fri 16 Apr: Secret Roll: Battue Akiro rolled 5,14 using 2d6,3d12, rerolling max, unique dice with rolls of 3,2,8,5,1.  Earth + Theology.

Yes 1 success, and 1 opportunity.

1: Reassure the character you are interacting with by your presence, allowing them to remove 1 strife or fatigue.

Right-- so you got to remove 1 strife from the character most involved with your roll, which would be Ichiko-- right? That's all good. No one else ought to have been affected.

No one else ought to have gained or lost strife as a result of this whole thing. Let's just please keep this rolling.

:) Hoping this game doesn't die. I like it a lot.

I'll second that!

Let me add a bit more to move this along-- maybe get your conversations rolling in the right direction.

tl;dr (because that went longer than expect)

-Girl kidnapped by a baku.
-Akiro follows with his two older cousins and pet weasle.
-His cousins tell him to stay put and go at it after they track it into its dream.  Cousins don't believe they had entered the crossroads.
-They get trapped in a bad dream.
-Akiro manages to escape its influence and talks to it. He comes to an understanding with the Baku that he would find its dream and tale and spread it if he releases the girl.
-Akiro thinks he is a lucky hunter and that Sanjiro and Ichiko are going to help him find the dream.
-Akiro isn't sure himself if it is real or not. Problem with dreams.

Sorry, probably gonna be able to get a post up tomorrow evening or Friday. Just been a bit busy this week and then I got my second COVID shot today...

Yeah, been a little busy here as well, but I'll get something up tonight.

I assume everyone's been quite busy after Mother's Day. I know I've had a lot of work and plans these last two weeks.

I'm still here though and ready to continue if everyone else is. :D

Same, I'll post tomorrow. My apologies for the delay.

I kind of did a deep dive on TW:WHII during golden week. Not playing the actual game, but more delving into the modding tools and learning how to code stuff.

My apologies, I have had a lot of work lately :(  I have 5 days free, but I'm taking today to relax.  I will post tomorrow.

Hmm.. People keep writing they are going to post and then not doing so.

I guess since it has been more than a week, I really ought to just kick things ahead to the next plot point.

I have found that works well for me.

Just keep posting, and if they can catch up they will.

I agree that moving on is the best bet here although last week has been really busy for me so I was sorta okay with our slow speed.

Is everyone still with us though? I think Mei isn't following the game anymore.

I apologize, but my time has been short on rpol.  We have been in lockdown due to Covid, and I am a nurse.  It's been exhausting.  I will try my best to post more frequently.  I take a long time to post, 20-30mins sometimes, as I need to check everything, because English is not my first language.

I prioritized some games and because of the slow post rate here I keep delaying my post when I shouldn't.

I've found that same problem myself. I always find that I spend an hour on rpol just posting for like 1-2 games, so I sometimes just skip rpol after an exhausting day.

I'm not nearly doing as important work as you are as a nurse, so take care of yourself and take your time. Hopefully you still have fun with it, since this is game. :)
There was someone in my last game that just posted in OOC about funny or random stuff when she didn't have time, and I really liked her attitude since we still knew she was paying attention, even when she didn't make an IC post.

Is Sanjiro still active? I was waiting on him to not leave him out of the conversation.

Tomorrow it will have been two weeks since he last logged on. Mei hasn't been here since April. Sanjiro might still return, but I think Mei's a lost cause.

We probably don't need to wait, right?

I would agree there.

If we are going to salvage this, we might need to press on with who we have.

I think so.

None of you took the bait to get closer to the situation to find out what was going on besides Shino wishing to identify the people involved.

Any new applications by any chance?
