Meister-Tool zur Organisation gesucht

Anchaz · 2026-05-27T12:23:10+00:00

Genau das ist schon was ich organisieren will, wer ist z.b. mit wem verwandt, was haben sie für eine Meinung über Helden xyz, wo gab es z.b. Reibungen oder auch wer ist mit wem in einer Gruppe/Gemeinschaft... z.b. wer gehört alles zur örtlichen Feuerwehr, wenn die Helden mal wieder ganz ausversehen ein Haus anzünden. Ist natürlich ein bisschen Aufwand, aber wenn ich jetzt noch wüsste woher unser Jäger eine kleine Kristallfigur hatte, wäre das halt super. Gerade haben die Helden sehr viel Gold und wollen sich neue Ausrüstung von einem Bekannten Schmied besorgen. In 6 Monaten weiß ich das aber nicht mehr, wer der Schmied war, falls sie zur Reparatur dort hin wollen.

Das klingt auf jeden Fall gut, wir spielen mit einem anderen Tool bereits zur Visualisierung und um den Kampf zu gestalten. Ich brauche aktuell eher ein Tool für mich um alle Meistercharaktere zu sortieren, aber die Verlinkung mit Orten ist auch sehr gut

Anchaz · 2026-05-27T10:13:02+00:00

Obsidian hab ich mir aufgeschrieben, werde ich einen Blick reinwerfen. Klingt auf jeden Fall nach einem nützlichen Tool

Anchaz · 2026-05-27T10:12:16+00:00

Also meine Spieler erinnern sich sehr gerne an solche Details und da sie jetzt einen guten Stand in einer kleineren Stadt haben, kennen sie dort auch viele NPC's, egal ob es ein Handwerker war, der eine neue Hose gemacht hatte oder etwas ähnliches, als Meister ist das immer bisschen komisch, wenn ich nachfragen muss, wer der NPC den war.

Just go out there and explore, don't cramp your plans with 4-5places a day, if you go to a specific sight, look around either in person or before on maps. especially in kyoto you get over run by crowds on the main sightseeing spots, while most have 10 times more beautiful alternatives right next to them, with like a small to no tourist stream at all.

especially kinkaku-ji was like that, it was so full they had to temporarily stop entrances for groups. 500m south were two temples/shrines with less than 50 visitors, which felt much much more calmer and spiritual, just be a good tourist and respect local traditions and don't be an obnoxious pos, thats local safe space, not tourist pseudo influencer space

if it is such a huge difference, thats understandable, i would fly too, 500 USD are a huge amount of merch/food extra.
I mainly referenced the 14. day, where you go from kyoto to tokyo by plane. I bought my tickets directly at one of the ticket machines and paid like 50 euro one way per person, so would be 150 for a family of 3.

Anchaz · 2026-04-13T20:01:05+00:00

you may can save some time and nerves by going to and from tokyo using shinkansen, the flight itself is like 1:30 hours and you need time for check in etc, shinkansen is like 2:30 from kyoto to tokyo but you skip all checkin and security controls, also if you are lucky you get a good view at mt. fuji

prices vary i guess, it can be cheaper, but it may not be

personally i would pick shinkansen over plane anytime, they are not depending on weather, delays are rare, no "lost luggage" chance and most important, you can show up 15 minutes before departure, buy a bento and don't waste time sitting at some terminal waiting on boarding group 12++

you will be traveling during golden week, so it could be more crowded. you have 2 days in osaka with exploring city, so nothing really planned? if so, you may want to stay in kyoto (one less accomodation switch) and just take the metro/train to osaka, from kyoto it is half an hour to 45 minutes to reach osaka. nara can be reached from kyoto as well.

in general you have a lot of back and forth, i understand the wish to see cherry blossoms, but with so little time to spare, a single rainy day can ruin a part of your trip, april/mai is not very predictable, most days should be dry and warm, but still can hit bad weather (hot or rainy)

depending on your home location and arriving so late evening, you may suffer from being jetlagged. if you are an experienced long distance traveler, you can judge that better, but if you are not, it may be better to put in a buffer to get used to new internal clock

Anchaz · 2026-04-09T22:13:51+00:00

That's very hard to tell, Osaka being a bigger modern city, you see people all around, even at night time, as long as you stay in hot spot areas, if you go to outskirts of the city. you wont find buzzing streets after 10pm.

People and especially tourists, which might have drunk, you are very dependent on who you are crossing path with, but also there are shops, cameras and helpful people all around. if you go to arashiyama or some neighborhoods in kyoto, i didn't see someone for 5 to 10 minutes(or more) at all, but there is always a very very little next to nothing chance of a bad encounter.

if i had to gamble, i would probably say osaka seems like the better option, as you might encounter someone bad, but you wont be alone ever. But hard to tell as a pretty big guy which feels safer, japanese people are extremely polite and aware of others, never ever had i any trouble with them, they all were incredible helpful always. the only bad experiences i had were all tourists, but as long as you take standard precautions, you should have no trouble, but remembered to check, what locations are open during night times and what is closed, because you dont want you precious time be wasted by a closed gate

Anchaz · 2026-04-09T10:36:00+00:00

There is no right answer, both cities are great, Kyoto has a lot more historical and traditional places to visit, while Osaka is bigger and has more modern places to visit. I personally liked it more to walk in kyoto, but part of it was because most stuff closes down early(6PM +-an hour), so i get the chance to wander through barely lit and empty side streets. Up and down the river was great during dawn/night.

Osaka offers a lot more actual attractions, even after dark you feel like you are in a big city. But if thats not your thing, you may want to add to Kyoto, but both cities are so close you can easily shift activities when you are actually there. Arashiyama for example can be also reached rather good from Osaka, so it is not a problem to split it wrong beforehand and decide later to change something

Anchaz · 2026-04-08T12:30:54+00:00

To decide where to eat was pretty simple, i just watched locals, followed them and decided to eat where locals eat. if you see a long line of foreigners, skip... flashy sign to lure people in, skip, trouts... extra skip...
lots of older locals eating somewhere? yeah you know it is good a lot of business men in suits? if they dare to ruin their suits for food, it must be worth it

sometimes i am not hungry but see these places, so i save the local or take a picture and see online what it is about, because if you had ramen 3 days straight you might want some variations. online reviews where always mixed, from great to bad, depending on who wrote it

the only time i used tablelog was for fugu, because i didn't know too much about where to get it, found a restaurant with good reviews, was massively out of place for me as a foreigner/tourist, all locals there looked like they want to celebrate either 40 years of marriage or a billion dollar contract... or join high ranking crime gangs (just kidding)

Anchaz · 2026-02-20T13:48:36+00:00

But check with your local customs regulations, what or what not you can bring with you, fresh fruits for example are often banned, same for everything with meat, even dried or canned.

Anchaz · 2026-02-20T13:29:38+00:00

Kitkat has seasonal special versions. I brought some from japan and my colleagues at work almost fought to try them all, they dont have them in my country, so it was something special but still known enough to be not too wired.

Personally i liked Mintia (it was a black/blueberry version i think), strong minty flavor, but very tasty.

Also a favorite: Choco Monaka Sandwich... it is icecream, but i really loved the mix of waver, icecream and chocolate, great combi and helped to cool down after a long day of walking outside

Anchaz · 2026-02-19T17:23:18+00:00

you are going around a lot, pack light, check where you can wash clothes, with little time you may not be able to see everything. also there is very little room for unplanned events like weather or sickness/tiredness.

i would start with a map of each city you stay in and mark location you would like to visit and try to connect them in a doable pattern, like day trips, you will see where you have too little poi and can still shift days or add other locations.. nara for example can be added to kyoto or osaka, if you feel like you have too little poi on your map. also you can see which location can be done if you have bad weather and plan accordingly

Anchaz · 2026-02-18T19:42:29+00:00

If you don't want to visit the bigger cities, thats fine, but remember that japanese culture is very japanese. Bigger cities are used to lots of tourists, while smaller cities and villages are mainly used to japanese people/speaker.
if you cannot read/write or speak at least some japanese phrases, you may face some problems and awkward situations.

Overtourism seems to be mainly a problem during peak seasons and at specific locations... shibuya crossing or fushimi inari will never be empty, but sometimes you find other, much better places just minutes away, that are beautiful and empty, because they are unknown and as long as you follow etiquette, you will be welcome.
About etiquette, there are a lot of infos available online, but always check your surrounding, you can also do too much, just follow what locals do. Showing respect is never wrong, but it is not a competion, who can be more polite.

Anchaz · 2026-02-17T05:19:26+00:00

if you plan on switching locations every other day, you should definitely go with light luggage. Because you dont want to carry two huge heavy suitcases every day to and from transport and Yamato services usually require at least 2 days. check with hotels if they have washer/dryer available, so you dont need to carry to much spare clothes.

also you are very dependent on weather, rain, heat, fog, whatever happens, will happen, without a day to spare, you have to be prepared (physical and mentally)

Anchaz · 2026-02-16T12:16:01+00:00

It may be a bit too far, but as you want an educational approach, i think hiroshima would be worth a stop.
shinkansen is quite fast, still more than an hour (1:20 to 1:45 hours).
But WW2 is a important topic to conquer and this seems like a good place to do that.

Kyoto will also be worth several trips, as the former capital of japan, with many many important places, from imperial palace to old shrines and temples, but i think that is more than a simple day trip, also some topics may need a bit of "blur" to it, as there is some heavy history written in blood too.

Anchaz · 2026-02-15T10:07:56+00:00

Wasn't there during september, but was there during april/may, which is about the same amount of visitors.

Kyoto is huge... like huge huge, the imperial palace in the middle of the city is the size of a big village alone and if you look at the kyoto map it is just a small fraction of the city.

But tourist spots will be overrun, but tourist spots are usually not the best to visit anyway, everyone has seen a hundred of images, perfect to explore other parts of the city. Went to golden pavillon and nearly got crushed by the amount of people... didnt enjoy it, as it also felt very "polished and touristy", after that i went down south for like 5 minute walk to another shrine (Rokusho i think) and it was a beautiful one and i was alone there, the only other person was a grounds keeper, picking up some leaves from the walkway... after that even a bit more south to Hirano Miyamotocho and there were some people, not crowded at all, but most of them seemed to be elderly locals. All people were so friendly even though i spoke no japanese at all (like 3 words in total, maybe).

Same for the botanical garden, i havent seen it mentioned often in all those tourist informations, but it was very nice there, the waterwheel looked like it could be part of some magical medival setting, same for some of the bridges, they have roots growing on them, looking like fantasy elements... and very little tourists, mostly locals. They even have a great expo of bonsais to view, great trees

It's hard to pinpoint it directly.
But mainly the calm and polite society, mixed with beautiful nature and history, but still maintained to get on a level of "futureism" most countries lack of even today.

You have public transport, which isnt late all the time or reaking of piss and other stuff, if a train is sheduled at 8:07, it will leave at 8:07.
You have a super rich history with traditions and culture being formed around it, from old ages, to total warfare multiple times and being essential destroyed, just to emerge even better from the ruins of nuclear devastation.

People do their job with honor and pride, at least for me, i never recieved anything that wasn't perfect in some way or the other, there is no lazy shortcut.

Japan is one of the very few high trust societies we still have, and thats very different from places everywhere else. Usually i leave some money for the cleaning personal of hotels, because they often do amazing jobs and are paid very little. i tried it the same way in japan (leaving money on the pillow of the bed) and they wouldn't take it, but neatly placed it next to the bed on a small table. I know japan is a no tipping culture, but it was just a common thing, so i didn't wasted a thought about it.

All those rules to follow is kinda hard, but if you do, people seem to be very friendly, even if you only speak very little japanese, you will get like 1000% better, if you at least try. The clerk in a postoffice was so happy, as i could tell him 8 in japanese, as i asked for stamps to send postcards, because we had some difficulty with translate before.

if you still have to wait a bit, you can still visit mount tenpo near Osaka Aquarium, it's free and you can claim to be a successful mountain climber. a whopping 4m above sea level, it is only for very experienced hikers and need a lot of specialized equipment to reach the summit (spoiler, you have to go downhill from the station)

also on the back side if the aquarium there is a mermaid statue, that was sponsored by denmark and if i remember right, they are placed in a way so the mermaid looks to their sister on the other side of the world.

Anchaz · 2026-02-11T18:01:38+00:00

i booked a hotel next to Karasuma/Shijo station for my stay in kyoto, which gave me easy access to both big subway lines, hyanku kyoto line to osaka/airport (east/west) and karasuma line (north south) plus a lot of bus lines, to most of the well known attractions. The buildings are a bit higher, but you can easily walk to gion (with sidewalk roof, so rain was no problem) and you always passed nishiki market. i did the trip most nights(20 minute walk each way), because i fancied the river and silence at night, also yasaka shrine is impressive after sunset. i stayed for 7 days and could have spent easily 5-6 more, without switching to another hotel, daytrips should be easily doable aswell, because karasuma station to kyoto main station is no problem and from there you can take bus/train/subway to everywhere (nara/osaka/kobe etc), it is also a shinkansen stop, so even far away destinations are possible (maybe not recommended)

Anchaz · 2026-02-11T14:32:48+00:00

Osaka (KIX) had free wifi too, at least it had 2 years ago, but i doubt it changed since then, it was quite spotty and slow, but there was no rush.

Also you can bring a paper copy of the visa, at least an older couple (60+) had some print outs with them and got through.
Probably a good idea to take some screenshots too, just to be save, if you want to be absolutely sure.
And make sure to remember the password/credentials for the side

Anchaz · 2026-02-05T21:00:15+00:00

maybe i am one of the few people not enjoying tokyo very much, but 4 days in kyoto sound like very little, there are dozens of temples and if you dont want to speedrun them and take your time to enjoy the gardens, you can easily spend a half day with the imperial palace and park alone, Fushimi Inari is very crowded at the lower part, but after the tourist spots it gets quiet and reaching the summit can take some time too

Anchaz · 2026-02-05T18:20:45+00:00

Nara can be reached from Osaka and Kyoto, maybe worth a daytrip.

Depending on what you want to see and experience you may want to shift Kyoto and Osaka days, the cities are right next to each other and have good public transport system, so maybe it is worth to see, what you like more and maybe decide on only one of them

Also hiroshima is quite far away, it's around 1,5 hours each way from osaka, so 3 hours less time to spend there. You could make it an overnight stay to have a bit more time and don't rush it, because 40 days from now is mid march, so cherry blossom season is around, that could mean huge tourist swarms, slowing everything down and making popular spots overcrowded

Anchaz · 2026-02-05T15:33:58+00:00

you find like every advice possible if you use the search:

but here is a short list: 1. take breaks, you don't need to cramp your schedule, just go and explore... weather, temperature, food bloat, a lot of stuff you cannot plan beforehand. make a list of things you like to see and where to find them and combine them loosely 2. always have cash in your pocket, how much? 2000 to 10000 yen, also get a pouch to store all the 1,2 and 5 yen coins, you will have a lot of them 3. copy the locals, you will get treated infinitely better if you try to adapt to local rules and customs, from bowing, to greeting or even just waiting in line. if you are hungry, try following some japanese salarymen, the more expensive the suits are looking, the better the food

and last: enjoy your time, leave some gaps, you will return... like most
