Let's talk about your characters

Welcome everyone.

Here's the main topic to talk about your characters, if you have any question, i'm here.

I'll create specific threads for each of you so that we'll have an area to discuss in private.

I still have to read your rulebook, but I should be able to come up with something quickly once I'm done reading...

We're not in a hurry, take your time :)

Started reading. Looks like an interesting system. Just one nitpick, at this current time, the Utaku are still named Otaku. They changed their family name some time after the battle of Oblivion's Gate (which happened in the year 1130-something IIRC, I forgot the exact date).

Oh ? My mistake then, consider them Otaku so far.

I'll correct that later in the day :)

Thanks for the precision :)

Does everyone see the specific subforum reserved for everyone ?

I see mine, so I assume it worked.

Good, first try is good then :)

So has anyone started thinking about their characters? I'm thinking of a Dragon Ise-Zumi.

Direct an Ise Zumi, sounds great.

eyeofskadi, any idea for your character ?

Welcome on GP, and into this game Varian :)

Your attention please.

I reread my core book, i think the points for both rings and vocations are a bit low.

So i updated the pdf for that, you can find the new version of the book here: https://tinyurl.com/l5rDelioCustom

I assume we start at "adult level"?

howdy, just noticed that I got accepted.

Hey welcome eyeofshadi !

The Adult level is positioned just after the Gempukku (the ceremony by which a samurai entered adulthood, in which children were often expected to take a new name, their adult name, at this time, and a trial would be expected too), Hardened is rather 10-12 years later.

So, for what I planned, the Hardened level seemed more consistent to me.

Now, I will also try to adapt the scenario to your respective backgrounds, and also to see if I manage to bring together 7 players. If not, I will have to adapt the scenario.

So for now, Hardened level please.

I might be over looking something; is there a separate rule book?

It is a homebrewed system Delio is testing.

Kalajel said it all.

You have all your own section in the Out Of Characters subforum. Or here if you don't need the privacy.
Anyway for any question, i'm here.

So, if I want to represent my tattoos and maybe some kihos using this game system, do I must put points in the shugenja vocation or will simply putting points in the monk vocation suffice?

Monk will be good enough i think, you'll have Schemes next to put your tatoos.

But maybe you don't see it that way, so i'm reading if you have other ideas.
