Can we also get a link next time? ^^;;

Ooooo that sounds great! So talking to a manager there might do the trick then? More to the point - do I get an NPC request to get that done, or would you and Tassu rather just assume it can happen on one of the days and I just roll with it to save GM time?

As for the record - I can spare one bu for average quality. Can I add that as a purchase to my inventory thread?

If I can - here it is!

You can handle your purchases yourself.

As for the other thing... watch your PF.

Is it possible to jump the gun and try to ride otori D1, or for simplicity's sake should we wait for D2?

The flocks are not in the city - they are coming back on D2. There might be few animals on the farms, but they are needed for the work.

Where do i ask if i wish a GM interaction?

This has been confirmed, ruling stands.

Doesn't make a difference for Shion due to her stats, but this came up in a thread at the club.

The description at the Arcade makes it clear that Perform: Dance rolls for the Hyper Dance Stars game uses Agility. But should we always just use Agility in all situations, or do we have some leeway to use a different Trait (say Awareness for causing an impressio, or 'feeling' a song or something) in other situations? Asking 'cause someone else and I actually went for Awareness first before Moto Ruhe's player mentioned this.

As I mentioned, doesn't make a difference for Shion, but it might be something worth keeping in mind.

That player was not playing HDS game so, it doesn't really matter. Maybe they made an honest mistake instead of being creative. You can poke a player and ask why they rolled 'wrong' trait. If it matters to a PvP situation (e.g. dance off) then I'll come and make a ruling whether a trait can or cannot be used. Hint. I go with rules as written. But if no-one cares or suffers someone rolling Awareness / Dance, then it's fine.

The actual events will be then policed so that everyone rolls what it says on the tin.

Makes sense, thanks

I had never heard the rule of keeping low/high before the roll, thats good to know. How exactly do you do things where you are required to keep middle dice? Like how do you Maho with that rule in place?

On TT you can roll (heh) as you wish. On a forum game we have to simplify. Generally people want to roll either low or high, so keeping lowest or highest makes the most sense - these options are also supported by Orokos. Keeping arbitrary dice adds extra time to sort out the rolls without really adding anything. And PC's don't Maho in this setting. Because man, that ruleset is broken.

What would be the rumor mongering TN to drum up business for the Drunk'N Crab?

On a related note, can you Raise for increased effect?

I would say that it would likely start off as a base of TN15 (after additions and subtractions) to talk about the Drunk'N Crab.

One raise would hide your identity and additional raises could reach a wider audience. It may in effect get more business to the Drunk'N Crab as an indirect effect but that would all depend on what is being said.

Looking to do some charity work in Shantytown. Any downsides to helping a soup kitchen or helping educate in communal schools?

Just double checking, bjt at the shooting range we are discharging our own weapons and our own energy packs, correct?

Yes. You can recharge your energy packs using an outlet at the hotel / inn.
