Ah, interesting... you truly are bored. Have any guidelines if a player comes, asking for a new jutsu? In particular, how to balance jutsus, other than just getting a feel for the power level of a jutsu?

[Frankto]

This will be in my next article... Good idea.

Ah, a very nicely done chapter on jutsus and suggestions for creating them. I'll have to look over it carefully later, perhaps after my statblock generator is complete enough to gloat over a few times... I can't think of another good topic, except... how to punish broken characters would be interesting enough.

Nicely written. Also I found useful the second one. Keep'em coming (or should I say boring? ). Thanks for your time, Frankto!

Thank you. I'll do my best not to "keep them boring."

Well, one of the things I have seen a fair problem with is balancing a new bloodline, so maybe something for that would be pretty appropriate.

For the record, it is one of the things I have had a problem with, so I'm not claiming to be better than anyone. This time.

Alright, pretty much what do you have to suggest in terms of creating a world, and maintaining the feel of the world through writing. Considering of course that you are only following the basic rules of the Naruto Universe, and that sure things that exist in the Canon are of course going to get passed down, and still exist. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm trying to write a Naruto adventure that hopefully exceeds 20th lvl and I would really like some advice on maintaining continuity as well as destroy the basic concepts of what the Naruto Universe should be.

For instance I'm creating a "super villain" who has two doujustu's both of which were stolen, one being the Byakugan and the other Doukagan, but I feel I'm making him a bit overpowered, as well I'm also considering writing an alternative storyline for characters who choose to side with him, or who have abandoned their villages to join him, but I really think I'm getting ahead of myself...

So anything you can help with?

I have to second Feliruce here. One of my major flaws as a GM is keeping the story realistic to the setting; no matter what I do it doesn't feel like I'm doing the series or indeed the game any justice. Perhaps an article that would also be good for first-time GM'ers, an expansion on that which is given in the main file? It's something I would really appreciate, as I am sure many others.
Best Regards,
TheTrulyAvaricious
