OK, this will take me a bit of time to deal with. What sorts of individual training might be available to Taisho?

I think Taisho is ready unless he should also take some training (I figured he had received training in the previous campaign). We need a suggestion on how to work him in. Does he know Kaida? Or fun option, still staggering from the blast and somewhat brain addled, he wandered into the clan compound...

Here's my chance to show off my Bushido 1e stuff from 1980… I remember the Dragon magazine ads for Bushido (and Aftermath) by Fantasy Games Unlimited. Your edition was earlier being Phoenix Games, that I never heard of. There's an even earlier edition put out by Tyr games in booklet size. That was ...

In addition to the Shugenja, we also have Gakusho

The clan is in the mountains east of the city of Kofu, which is where Taisho, Burusu, and Akemi have been hanging out. You left from there for the big military battle and the pilgrimage to the Kanto in the East. So it would make sense that Tiasho would run into the clan members around Kofu. I'll wo...

We can do that. Taisho's not a part of the ninja clan, so we'd have to figure out how he joined the group. Could be interesting for the story. I forget where the clan house is and where I was originally envisioning the shrine Taisho's family maintains. No reason we can't relocate him to the territo...

Sigh, I really need to find the energy to work up a new character... You could of course maybe take Taisho, level him to Level 2, and give him three weeks training. And maybe make him a little... faster. :) Well, Taisho is already level 2, and he's had some training... What if I take the 5 extra at...

Sigh, I really need to find the energy to work up a new character...

I'm wondering where we are on this. I do want to play, and I want to play a Gakusho instead of my ninja, but I'm finding it hard to get motivated to go through the chargen even though it isn't THAT much effort.

I need to catch up. I'm pretty sure I'll create a new Gakusho. So I start with Level 2. The downtime training also?

I’ve been wondering about the viability. I’d be willing to give the mixed game a chance. I’ll have to decide whether to keep my ninja or try a Gakusho again.

Minoru will allow Kaida to lead the conversation.

Minoru is modestly perceptive:

It kind of turns out that kuji-kuri isn't a very useful skill with this group. It has a big Wit factor, and the ninja boys aren't strong on that. :) There should be times when the nakama is in nature for some days. This part of Nippon is mostly forested mountains, separated in places by flat valley...

Just typing in my phone so hard to go into detail.

Minoru will relate how the alarm was sounding about intrusion with the dead dog spotted. Better to get out unspotted.

Minoru is surprised the tea set was now found in the time Funa and Jinsei were in the house.

No rolls needed, unless you want to try ninjutsu roll to cross the yard and go over the wall undetected. But you don't see anyone in the area anyway. OK, Minoru will exit stage Wes and seek to meet up with the others. He will take some caution going over the wall to make sure no one outside the com...

OK, what do you need me to roll?

Sorry, what is to the West of the compound? I'm thinking of getting down near the cherry tree and heading over the wall to the West. You said no roll for jumping down? I think the climbing pole might be best (he will definitely use that to get over the wall). Also, I would start moving as soon as th...

Minoru acknowledges Fuma and Jinsei and slips quietly off to the West across the roof.



Assuming nothing goes wrong, we will meet up with the others.

I think we should allow a "say yes" option. That's come up a few times, with cumulative probability being ridiculous. We can use RAW when we use rules, but I think just saying that handling a normal wall with tools and help and no time constraints is easy. He's a skilled ninja, he can han...
