Got questions regarding rules? This is the place for them!
Please note that, since not everybody in the game is necessarily on any one Discord server--or any Discord server at all--only rulings noted here count as official.

And one pre-game from Discord:
Drop It Like It's Hutt wrote:official GM question. Can Shiba Artisan R2 tech (the "successful art roll => temporary Allies" tech) be used to get more than one of the Three Amigos as your Allies, or are you limited to 1 of them?
And the answer:
Saibankan wrote:Given their relationship to each other, you can only ally with one at a time

Regarding Day 0 - are characters assumed to have arrived D0, or would they have arrived before? Or is it players choice

For purposes of this game, replace "When determining the time required to craft any particular item, the cost of the item is considered one coin type smaller for you (for example, an item that has a cost measured in koku would determine its crafting time as if it were measured in bu, and an item with a cost measured in bu would determine the time as if it were measured in zeni)" with "Once per session, when you spend a Void Point on your selected Craft skill, you roll +2k2 instead of +1k1."
Change has been made to
the relevant post in the Character Creation thread.

And if that effect copies the effect of my school technique do I have permission to change my character sheet accordingly?

Because Precise Memory reads as follows:
Precise Memory [Mental] (3 Points) [CR]
You have an incredible ability to recall exactly things you have seen or heard. In any situation where you need to remember something exactly the way it was, whether the wording of something you read or the details of a person's physical appearance, you add a bonus of +1k1 to your Intelligence Trait Roll.
Could a character make an Intelligence roll, benefiting from PM, before doing their Daily Art roll, in order to improve the quality of their art based on success of their Intelligence roll? So "I remember it just as it was" success on Intelligence roll => free raises (or other benefit) on relevant art roll?

Assuming the imperial legion technique "Strength of the Empire" would not be of use in the arts and crafts events?

If we have any other Legionnaires and/or any Magistrates, I'd allow it.

Well, you can participate, but you're not allowed to score. You're reward is the glory, you can't sneak yourself supplies. But if you wanna make the rolls because Kunio wants to help out too, you're welcome too

In the case that a day might end before RP allows you to make a post that actually uses a roll for your Amigo influence or mudslinging, is it alright to make the roll prior so it is recorded timely before the day flip, even if you haven't had a chance to RP out the situation?

I'm ok with this, because with player time schedule and gm availability, it can be difficult to align them in a timely fashion assuming you're not just running up to an NPC yelling "Support the Scorpion/Phoenix/Mantis!" Do make sure you do arrange the conversation though. The roll should be recorded in your pf before dayflip, and at least be in the right thread with the npc to make the approach. Then rp until you get to the correct point.
