Hey it has been a while!
Speaking of which, my mind has been wandering to Gouma dens as of late. We have mentioned them in passing but I will try to post a more elaborate depiction of them, as they will be something relating to malicious yokai and yurei in the setting. They tend to be an area varying in size that yokai and yurei might use to lure in people, as well as warp perception. It is the reach of them really. And much like a trap door spider, or say a witch in the Madoka setting, once someone wanders into one, it can be quite dangerous and a bit hard to get out. Depending on the difficulty, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for most of your characters, given the bulk of them have abilities. But, it can mess with perception a fair bit, and say overtime could make a person varying on if they are with or without abilities tired or sick. Eventually it can drain a person and make them very vulnerable!
Definitely something to watch out for!
Thankfully, these things are somewhat uncommon in the setting, as certain conditions need to be met, and we do have the Hunter's Guild, the Shinsengumi, the Shinto Network and NAPI doing their best to keep these things from cropping up. But, keep in mind, they still do crop up! (Heh heh heh) I have been working on one myself, and have already given a big, public Easter Egg to that. Always remember, Okiku's well might have a rumor or two of big things coming up. It's a good space for rumors and urban legends that you can also participate and write into! We try to answer them fairly often.
Another reminder, is that we also have a Questing Board, where you guys can sign up for and collaborate for story threads! Sometimes if I have cultural notes or lore on something I will drop that in there as well. But it's mainly for you guys to get together for new stories that are not necessarily open threads!
One more thing!
(I feel like Uncle from Jackie Chan adventures when anyone says that.)
We have been talking about possibly having a movie/anime night and a game night. I will see if I can put up a poll of that. Just to see if and when y'all would be interested. So, lots of things to look forward to seeing this month, heck this week. I know everyone has been varying stages of busy, but I hope we can all have some much needed downtime together!
Until I have more news you can use, don't forget to check those places mentioned!
Happy hunting!
