Hey folks, Art of Warcast here - ask us stuff!

We've gotten a nice handful of awesome listener questions from various depths of the interwebs - but not here in the forums. So, as we're recording this weekend we'd like to know what you'd like to know. Ask us good stuff and we'll try to answer good stuff on the podcast. Ask us stupid stuff and we'll definitely answer stupid stuff on the podcast. Ask us whether our swords are curved or straight, and we will definitely answer at length.

C'mon, help a Scorpion courtier out and ask us stuff!

Among all of the courtier traited characters that have been revealed, which is your favorite? Same question for bushi and shugenja traited characters.

Do you think ninjas should dress like gardeners or dress in black? Or murder kabuki actors on stage?

Yes to all of the above.

It looks like the Launch Party plans include nametags for players to use for their "samurai names". Do you have any tips for new players who want to participate in this tradition, or any recommended resources, dos and don'ts, etc.?

Personally, I picked a family name from my favourite clan (Dragonfly) then randomly selected a personal name from all the other families. I'd be careful doing Unicorn that way, but all of the traditional clans have names that are interchangeable. As a note, if it ends -ko or -hime it's probably female, and you can kinda change a male name to female by sticking that suffix on the end.

Another option is the random name generator from Behind the Name:
