Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Split the Party (Exalted)

So as foretold in the prophecy, this is happening again. I've got another Exalted write-up for you. At some point I need to start doing the Promethean post updates again as well, I've just had a lot to juggle creatively and they've fallen by the wayside because there isn't any real urgency to talking about a game I ran a decade and a half ago at this point. But I digress.

Also, as I mentioned in the last session, Lathe is a new location in the third edition of Exalted and we have very little detail about it. There's a decent chance an upcoming supplement is going to touch on it some, so I'm going light on some details for ease of integrating my notes with a canon interpretation. I mention this mostly in case anyone goes back over these, sees my material on the city, and is confused by any discrepancies. I'm not opposed to maybe even going back and retconning a detail or two (like the location of the Immaculate temple), but these write-ups may conflict with official text and I wanted to at least offer that as a disclaimer.

One last thing before we get to it. In case I've forgotten to mention it here (and a quick skimming of the blog's front page suggests I did), Prometheus Unbound, a supplement I worked on for Trinity Continuum: Æon, is now available in print-on-demand!

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Welcome Home (Exalted)

Greetings again, folks. Apologies for the disruption with my previous post. I tried posting it from my phone because I was out of town and away from my computer, and that wound up being a mistake. Blogspot's interface is such that I couldn't get the font fixed properly, so I wound up having to delete and repost it to get it to look right. I probably didn't need to go to the effort, but I wanted to at least try.

But anyhow, we're back, and the group is now in a location where they'll get to remain for possibly more than two or three days! I should note that Lathe is a new location in third edition, and we don't have a lot of material to go on and I don't know how much coverage it's going to get in the upcoming Across the Eight Directions. While I'm not averse to coming up with my own take on the city and then having it replace the canon version my setting, I've got enough faith in the current crop of Exalted writers that I don't want to rule out some really awesome stuff that I'll want to incorporate. So I'm going relatively light on the city details in the hopes that I can weave together my stuff and any canon write-up -- or, worst-case scenario, do my own more detailed write-up when the book comes out.

Also, just as a heads-up, there won't be a blog post this coming week, because circumstances will prevent us from playing this Tuesday. Not that I mind a little bit of extra prep time before the next session.

Anyhow, let's get on with the show.

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: A Pound of Cure (Exalted)

The title is a little punnier than I normally go for, though it may not be obvious why at first. I apologize for nothing.

(It may seem like this post has appeared a couple of times before. Long story short, I initially tried posting it from my phone and that screwed up the formatting ways it wouldn't let me fix, so I've just reposted it. But now the url is wonky unless I change the name, and I like the name too much to do that. So hoist by my own petard, I guess. Sigh.)

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Plague Ship (Exalted)

Hey there, welcome back! So what we've got here is your typical blog post. *slaps roof* I can fit so much Exalted in this baby. (Look, I don't know the meme so I'm sure I'm mangling it, and I can only think up so many interesting things for these intros. Let's just get to it.)

(Oh, also, content warning for some gross corpses and some stuff involving illness and plagues. While there won't be any resemblance to real world events, I can understand how some people might be twitchy about that.)
