Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Smoldering (Exalted)

Hey there folks, it's me again. As opposed to whom, I couldn't tell ya. But it's me.

Y'know, not that I'm gonna make it one, but it occurs to me that if this were a podcast I could get away with a generic intro. Just thinking.

Anyhow, I'm slowly trucking with trying to get these posts on track. But I'm still having issues with my arm and typing for long stretches is difficult, which isn't helped by the fact that I have multiple typing-related obligations going on at the moment. So I have to pace myself, as much as I'd love to just sit down and bang one of these out every night (heh, phrasing) until I get caught up. But at the same time, doing these gives me a bit of a mental buffer so I don't get burned out on the other stuff.

Speaking of which, let's get to it.

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Back into the Fire (Exalted)

Greetings, my peeps. What? Okay, I'm being told by my people I'm too old to say that. Anyhow, hi.

So here's the next one of my 'catching up' posts. We'll see how far I can get in this one before my arm tells me to stop or I lose my ability to focus. And, um, okay. Lets go.

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Catching Up (Exalted)

I wanted to start off on some joke on what you folks have been up to while my back was turned, but I can't think of anything clever that doesn't also make me sound like a bit of a jerk. Ah well.

So yeah, I'm behind on Exalted posts. This is largely due to my having had some issues working on a freelance assignment and pushing through a combo of mental burnout and some minor physical issues to get drafts done and just not having the time or brainspace to devote to blog posts. The only reason we've been able to play at all is that my preparations carried us a little farther than I anticipated (not complaining!). 

(And as I'm sure there's someone who'll think that running a game session is irresponsible when a deadline is breathing down my neck, I'd argue that pressuring myself into a breakdown because I refused to use the relief valve would have been worse.)

For the record, I'm not gonna even try to cram what is four sessions (as of this writing) into a single post. Long stretches of typing are a little uncomfortable right now so I'm probably going to just keep it to four individual posts and get caught up ASAP, but we'll see how I feel as I go. I doubt I'll be fully caught up before the next session, as I have other things to do, but hopefully we'll be squared up by the next session after that. I don't have any sort of outline on that, though.

The delay also means more instances than usual of fuzzy details because I didn't think to attribute a line or something like that in my notes, and for that I apologize. If you're in my game and I badly mangle something, let me know so I can fix it. 

So let's do this.
