Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Imperial Entanglements (Exalted)

Greetings, my fellow whatevers!

Back with another Exalted write-up for y'all. This kicks off our next story arc, Port in a Storm.

Before we get into it, however, let me take a moment to remind you that a Trinity Continuum: Æon book I worked on is out. (I swear, this is the last time I'm going to plug it... until the PoD is available.) You can find it at this finely-crafted affiliate link, and if you go check it out, the PDF preview on DriveThru goes deep enough into the book that you can read the opening fiction I wrote for it!

And with that out of the way, let's get into it!

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Broken History (Exalted)

Stop right there, interlopers!

Don't worry, it'll make sense shortly.

We weren't able to play Exalted last week due to scheduling difficulties, hence no post, but we were able to play this week! So I've got another adventure here with the crew of the Moonlight Maiden!

But first, a bit of personal news. A Trinity Continuum: Æon book I worked on came out this week! It's called Prometheus Unbound, it's a guide to the Psi Orders, and I'm really proud of the work I've done on it. It's currently available as an Advance PDF, which means there's still going to be one more errata and proofreading pass before they prepare the PoD. I go into more detail on it here, and as always you can find the list of my other work here. (And as a reminder, if you follow one of the DriveThruRPG Affiliate links on the blog and then buy stuff there, I get some store credit even if what you buy isn't the thing I linked to.)

But now we jump from the sci-fi setting of TC: Æon and back to the epic fantasy of Exalted for the conclusion to "Buried Past".

I've got a book out!

So I have a more general writing update coming, but until I can find the time/focus to crank that out, a gaming book I worked on has come out! It's called Prometheus Unbound, and it's for the Trinity Continuum: Æon line. As I type this, it's #1 on DriveThruRPG right now. It's a guide to the Psi Orders of the TC: Æon setting. I wrote the chapter concerning the Æsculapian Order, as well as the opening fiction! In fact, if you load up the PDF previews on the DriveThruRPG site, they have enough pages available that you can read said opening fiction for yourself (as long as you can cope with a 'Sample File' stamp).

Now I should point out that this is currently an 'Advance PDF' release, which means there may be a couple of typos here and there, and there are still "Page XX's" in. Also, this book was initially meant to be released right after another supplement, called Mission Statements, and it just shook out that this one came first, so there are some Page XX's referencing Mission Statements as well that will need filled in. So this might be in the Advance PDF stage for a little longer than normal. But once that's done, the PDF will be updated and if you bought it as an Advance PDF you'll get a discount code for a print copy as if you'd been able to get both as a bundle at the same time.

Just as a reminder, if you want to look up what other gaming books I've worked on, there's an index of those here. And if you do pick up the book (or any others that I worked on), make sure to leave a review for them! That sort of thing really matters!

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Current Troubles (Exalted)

Greetings, and hope everybody's new year, etc., etc.

Anyhow, we come to the first proper game session of 2022. I'm not sure where I was going with pointing that out, but here we are.

So let's get into it.

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Put to Rest (Exalted)

So I tried to get this out before 2021 was out, and did not succeed. Ah well. I've got no good excuse, I just mishandled my time.

Anyhow, it's time for one more trip with the crew of the Moonlight Maiden. BTW, if you're unfamiliar with the Exalted books, the manor house is something that appears in the Hundred Devils Night Parade supplement on DriveThruRPG, listed as "The Forlorn Manor." The book provides the haunted mansion as a setpiece and a character, sets up that there is a mystery surrounding the people who used to live there, and the rest of it (the island, the abandoned town, the backstory, etc.) was all me.
