How ancient do you mean? If we're talking pre-Nara-Heian period, few of the things we think of as quintessentially Japanese existed then. I recommend reading about the Sengoku period, also called the "Warring States Period", as that's probably the most interesting period of Japanese history we...

I just moved to a new city (Ohashi in Fukuoka prefecture, lovely place), and I won't have regular internet access for probably a month. There's a fairly arcane process involving me registering as a foreigner in this city and getting paperwork to that effect before I can get such modern...

"Whoa, Fido! No need to get so familiar so fast! Let's put this dog down, eh, guys?" Bardic performance: +1 to attack, damage, and saves against charm and fear. Bunweck draws her rapier to defend herself against attack.

"You folks might want to have this door looked at, too," says Galen to the guard. "It shut closed all on it's own, right when that modded out battle droid popped out and started disintegratin' folks. There's a nice, wide hole in the Reflectro-plating, and I had to pop off a couple o' the...

Gandalf, are you still planning to do rolls? I like it that way, personally, so I'll leave my initiative in your hands unless you prefer I roll it.

Galen and R2-P5 duck behind the door. "Soon as you can get out o' there, I'm gonna try to lock th' droid in behind us," he calls out. "You gonna be okay?" Sorry for the delay in posting; I just started a new job in Fukuoka and the training schedule is killer.

"If we have time, I'd like to ask around a bit. I've worked a bunch of kitchens in a bunch of the taverns around town, and let me tell ya, bartenders hear everything." Thanks for the suggestion, WD! I'd also like to roll a knowledge (local) [+7] on the thieves' guild, and a knowledge roll on...

With whom are we speaking?

"Hiya, everybody!" squeaks a cheery voice from behind you. A little gnome woman, three feet tall and filled to her tiny brim with bubbly charm, comes bounding up to the table with a covered plate in her hands and a backpack on her back. "My name's Bunweck. Pleased to meetcha! Celeste said there...

The legal rights of nobility depends upon the feudal system in use. Each region of Europe had its own system; the English system is distinct from the French system, which differs from the German system, which is wholly unlike the Russian system. Feudal rights were pretty complex, so I'll paint...

As long as there are two people on the planet who enjoy RPGs, they'll never die out. If I'm the last one, then I guess I'll be drawing dungeons on graph paper for my own enjoyment.

Thanks! That one was over on the east side, near Tokyo, but I'm on the far western end, in Fukuoka. Or rather, I will be in a week; I'm at my folks' house in the States for a short break before I return to the Archipelago of Tasty Fishes. :p

Okay, I just posted my character sheet in the RG thread. And Yab is fine by me. Yabanjin is Japanese for "barbarian"--sometimes it's hard not to feel like a big, hairy barbarian when I'm surrounding by people smaller and more polite than I am! :lol:
