Greetings, programs! I've got another Exalted post for you, as often happens these days.
No real news as such, but I do want to point out that after a couple sessions of actually
playing with my initial vision for Lathe, I've determined that vision needs glasses. My original version was, I realized, very 'ant farm'-like in its structure, with the residents moving around in tunnels carved through what I can best describe as a petrified primordial haggis. Which is limiting in terms of scenery and is really hard to imagine people moving around in, even if it's mostly large interior chambers and not entirely rooms connected by tunnels. So I'm reinterpreting it as open to the sky with much of the city carved into bits that have been hollowed out and cleared away, with a lot of the preserved organs still extant structures and occasional bones the size of California redwoods protruding and serving as an anchor for various structures. Aside from the organs and bones and such, the rough 'shape' of it is going to be very similar to the Italian city of
Matera.
I'm not going to do it right this moment, but at some point I'm going to go back and tweak whatever descriptions I've already written to have this interpretation match up with previous write-ups. So just a heads-up, there. (Edit from the future: Got this taken care of, only took me a month and a half to get around to it. Just wanted to let you know.)
Anyhow, that's more about the past and future. Let's worry about 'now.'
(Oh, by the way, quick content warning for a very brief reference to suicide)
