I don't remember (no pun intended), do returning characters get more koku?

There will be koku replenishment rules. But in general yes, it's a new year.

More a suggestion than a question but may we set a standard colour scheme for the various languages. Just so people are on the same page with colour association to languages?

This can be done, though currently a low priority. Remind me closer to the game start.

I believe it was mentioned that the price of arrows might be errataed.

Was curious if this was still happening?

Assume they are as cheap as in other games.

Question about Otomo courtier IR 2 tech. How does it works? You need some sort of social advantage to use your spies and contacts, like Allies or Blackmail?

Will we have clan/faction-specific private forums? Us Imperials want to scheme...I mean have tea and conversations

So if the Imperials (as opposed to just one Sui ;)) tell me they want it, it will be there.

During the first session, in Dragon's Guard, it will operate as normal because this is where the Otomo do have contacts by default. But the technique says:

Quote:
If you have the opportunity to seek out your contacts...


That opportunity may somehow hold on board (if you hung out among the Explorers for a time), but then largely disappears on Kameyama, until you actually make an effort to establish those contacts from scratch. In the end it may get reflected by some Advantage or ranks in Lore: Underworld or whatnot, but the foundation for it is role-playing. In other words, you'd be able to use this technique in a non-Rokugani environment after some effort has been made.

This is a general conclusion from it: mechanics are contextualised. If the fluff conditions are not met, the mechanics doesn't operate as normal. But I'll be opening opportunities to make it operational via role-playing effort, equalling gradual discovery of the foreign.

This game will use Awareness (Corebook) or Willpower (Errata) as default trait for Intimidation?

What would be the cost for things like tea and incense?

I usually just use the same costs as spices, but checking in case if you had other ideas.

We can do that, with the caveat that better quality means more money. You won't get Gyokuro Genmai for just a few Bu.

Helped and mobilised by Utsusemi, I sorted out the earlier request for language colours.

A request for information!

A gentle reminder: please try to make one general thread for us to sort out your miscellaneous queries rather than many, topic-specific. :)

I was wondering how is the inflation rate in Rokugan during IH timeline? In the corebook it says that during 1170IC previous to Iweko ascension you needed 12 koku to feed a man for a year. It also says that in previous eras 1 koku was all you need to feed a man for a year, valued for 5 bushels of rice that were converted into the bu.

Is the koku more stable and has more value during this era?
