Late in the evening, in the dim quiet of an empty arena, an elderly judge jolts awake. "Three flags to... er, what?" he murmurs aloud. "Oh, dear. I seem to have overslept..." Picking up a jade-inlaid walking stick, the judge wanders off in search of his flag boy. ----- (Well, I'm back...

Oh, maybe it's the seeming near-total lack of friendship and bonding between party members, with only Jeremy and Derek willing to give one another the time of day. ;) Yeah, the group is held together by a common cause, but by not much else. I can certainly see how a reader might wonder if...

You have a pretty good handle on all of the characters. This is good, given that you're the DM and all. :) The fact that all of the PCs have very extreme character traits makes for interesting roleplaying, but it also prevents the kind of group cohesion and friendship that often manifests in...

If I recall correctly, Mostin has a phobia of birds. So the feathery-winged solars really freak him out. - Eric

Hey there, I'd like to apologize for being unavailable lately. My job has been fluttering between "hectic" and "insane", and I haven't had the time to focus on YB!. I'll try and get back to it ASAP, but I can't be sure when that will be. :( - Eric

Ash’lon’s Third Hand: 1: The diamond phoenix bows next to the pillars; dodges the drive of the bird! 2: The spear spins through the forest; dodges the storm of the ledge! 3: The tiger scatters the dungeon; scatters the tempest of the flower! 4: The chain dodges above the glacier; shreds the...

"Ash'lon foolishly uses Tiny's signature style, and is beaten soundly for his temerity. Point to Tiny." Two flags Tiny, one flag neutral.

Why will the party fall apart? Clearly this is a problem; in a game like D&D, where much of they dynamic tension comes from the risk of character death, there's a problem with making one character so essential to the story that it can't go on if that character dies. Looks like you may have to...

"Neither defense is terribly effective or relevant, and both attacks are moderately strong. All things considered, I find myself more impressed by the leveling of a forest by a storm than a village battered by a fox. Point and Two Yen to Tiny." One flag Tiny, two flags neutral.

An enormous stony pokémon attempts to batter Kennith with its fists! The fist wracks the bluff; parries the terror of the iron!

"Both moves are very strong. Ash'lon uses a flawless technique, but Tiny has cannily prepared an utterly perfect defense, guarding against both style and substance. And the 'Chimera Carves the Peaks' kata is more powerful and graceful than 'Tsunami Impales the Pillars'. Though the choice is...

"Rrai-Kesh cunningly transforms a flaw in his kata into a source of unexpected strength. Rathan's lightning weakens the tempest that spawned it, while the northstar kicks and pierces that which opposes it. Point, Mastery, Fury, Mastery and Item to Rrai-Kesh!" Five flags Rrai-Kesh, two flags...

"Oops sorry..." Rusty's Second Hand: 1: The kama strikes higher than the glacier; reduces the speed of the garden! 2: The weasel falls next to the tower; defends against the blood of the shell! 3: The raven tumbles by the peaks; parries the push of the barrens! 4: The fist wracks the bluff...

I post a blatant plug for my poorly written PDF supplement, claiming that it completely fixes the aforementioned mechanic when, in fact, it has only the most tangential relationship with said mechanic, and is in any case so shoddily written that no DM in their right mind would have anything to...

"But mister judge! Isn't it time for a new hand of moves?"

Ash'lon's Second Hand: 1: The fox bashes the village; fends off the rolling of the horn! *yen* 2: The flawless tsunami impales the pillars; wards off the punch of the bone! 3: The ki-rin nails the waterfall; shreds the roar of the reptile! 4: The turtle strikes with the dungeon; quells the...

"Tiny's attack is clearly superior. He dominates this round; point to Tiny." Two flags neutral, one flag Ash'lon.

"Don't be stupid, samurai. You know how the game is played. "I find your countrymen to be jaded, your country to be squandered, and your judo to be absent."

"Both attacks are strong, but Ash'lon makes good use of synergy, using the mass of his opponent against him as one might redirect the collapse of a castle to inflict the most damage. Ash'lon's cruelty serves him in good stead here. Point to Ash'lon." Two flags Ash'lon, one flag neutral.
