Personally, I like "gentlefolk" so as not to disclude the fae among us.

Blowing stuff up is Kagome's thing. Talk to him about it.

Does it count if it's in the backstory?
Tricky bit of ontology that.
"You know Kagome, I think Deidara fancies you. Put on a sufficiently... artistic display and you could probably get him to ask you to the spring social!"

But why?
waits for Ino and/or Akane to die in combat to further Hazou's ambition

You want everyone we know and love in MfD to die, I don't think you asking "why" is very appropriate

Uh, yeah, no, if we end up fridging someone it'll be Kagome or Noburi for sure

By the way, have we decided or made any progress on which system we're going to end up using? I don't read every post so I could've very easily missed it, but it's been a while and it would be nice to know what progress has been made.

I think it's looking like M&M is the base.
- Location
- Yes.
Kagome: !!!!!!!! *runs off dragging Noburi*Uh, yeah, no, if we end up fridging someone it'll be Kagome or Noburi for sure
Noburi: HOW DID YOU EVEN GET HERE I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN LEAF

We may need to walk that back. The more we look into MM the more reservations we have...it's becoming clear that it's a complex system that's going to be hard to learn on the fly.

Well let's be honest no matter what system we wind up picking we are diving right into the deep end. Any combat with 20+ combatants who have more options than just hitting each other isn't going to be simple

From my perspective, QM familiarity with the system is the most important aspect of any system, which makes me support the DF system (seeing as you were able to use it in an interlude, seemingly without too much trouble), so long as it has a way of handling devices (seals), device construction (sealing), and probably chakra (though I'm pretty ok with handwaving chakra expenditure away if it'd help prevent mechanics from breaking). I'm incredibly wary of significantly modifying any system, since that seems to miss the entire point of moving to a tested system and will likely lead to a bunch of the problems we're trying to avoid (i.e. excessive numbers of things to track, option bloat = power, detailed resource management mid-combat, character uniqueness (thus hard to build NPCs), rule exploits due to edge cases etc.) which arise from having a thoroughly custom ruleset.

Yes! We're actually making good progress on systematizing the shift. In particular, we think we've hit on a good way to do the shift without nerfing you guys, which was a major goal.
About that...
It's become a LOT more DF heavy, because that just seems like a lighter load cognitively. I think we maaaaaaay steal MM stuff for e.g. the seal / jutsu research systems?

Ooh, good. It was mostly the M&M power system I was attached to, too, so glad to hear this.
(also hoping that failure chance for sealing isn't made more likely, but that's another deal altogether

Man stuff like this just summons my internal @faflec that we are going to be nerfed. Really looking forward to having a system put out so we can start helping you guys with the transition.

What are MM and DF, by the way? I mean, what do they stand for, so that I can Google them to learn more?Yes! We're actually making good progress on systematizing the shift. In particular, we think we've hit on a good way to do the shift without nerfing you guys, which was a major goal.
