Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Dinner, Drinks, and a Show (Exalted)

Hey there, folks. Sorry these have been so last-minute, I've been trying to get a better jump on them but life has just interfered.

But let's not dwell on that, let's share some Exalted shenanigans!

First, however, just a reminder that today at 2pm Eastern Time, the Backerkit crowdfunding campaign for the Trinity Continuum Player's Guide begins! I talk a little more about the book here, but in short this is one I contributed to and my writing in this is probably tied for the work I'm the most proud of. (I'm proud of all of it -- well, the final drafts, at least -- but this book was a special challenge and I think I rose to meet it). I'm assuming this link will take you to the crowdfunding page itself after the appointed time, but if not I'll fix it later.

And now that we're past that, let's get on with Exalted!

Announcement! (and a reminder)

Okay, so first there's the announcement. If you missed it in my last Exalted update, a book I was working on, "Brave New Worlds," is being combined with the "Talent Player's Guide" to make the Trinity Continuum Player's Guide! It's going to be a supplement for the Trinity Continuum core rulebook with expanded rules for different types of the modern pulp action the core line is centered around, new Gifts for Talents (some of them revised and updated from other books to better fit the core), expansions on the core book's minor Allegiances, and a lot of material on traveling through time and space!

I mean, I think that description covers the basics, but if you need more, the Onyx Pathcast has recently put up an episode devoted to discussing it. But if you like what you've heard so far, you can head over to Backerkit and sign up to be notified when the crowdfunding campaign goes live on March 28th!

And now the reminder -- Realms of Magic and Mystery, a Scion Second Edition supplement I worked on, is available at DriveThruRPG!

And as just sort of a general reminder but while I'm here, I recently put together an index of my published fiction to complement the one for my game writing.

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: The Impossible Dream (Exalted)

Hello again, greetings, etc. and so forth! Here with another Exalted write-up. However, some business before pleasure.

First, as a reminder, a book I worked on, a Scion book I worked on, Realms of Magic and Mystery, is available in advance PDF! It's a book about otherworldly realms for Scion Second Edition, and I go into a larger pitch here.

Second, another book I worked on is about to go to crowdfunding, sort of. It was originally a Trinity Continuum supplement for the 'Core' line called "Brave New Worlds," but the 'sort of' is that it's been combined with the "Talent Player's Guide" into the Trinity Continuum Player's Guide! It's being crowdfunded through Backerkit, and goes live on March 28th at 2pm Eastern US time. Sign up to be notified here! I'll likely have a separate post going into more detail on that (to the extent of my ability to do so) at some point. I'd have more but it's a pretty recent announcement.

And with that, let's get into it.

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Revelation (Exalted)

Oh, hey, we're back with another Exalted write-up with the crew of the Moonlight Maiden, though now it occurs to me I only go out of my way to call them that when they've actually been separated from the eponymous boat for more than a few sessions. Hm. Or maybe it's occurred to me before and I've forgotten and I'm too lazy to check. I dunno, it was a 'weird energy' day when I started writing this.

Oh, and before I get into it, just as a reminder, a Scion supplement I worked on is out! Rather than do a whole spiel here, allow me to just link you back to the post where I announced it.

And, unless I come up with something else that should go here 'above the fold,' as it were, let's get on with the adventure!

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Consequences (Exalted)

Welp, here we are again. And with some good/personal news this week!

Long story short, another book I worked on is out! It's called Realms of Magic and Mystery, and it's a supplement for Scion Second Edition. It's a book about unearthly places and Terra Incognita. It covers places as small as a neighborhood coffee shop that can only be found by people who need to find it, or as big as the Overworlds where the gods dwell and the Underworlds that gather and collect the souls of the dead. I've got a post up that goes into more detail.

And now that we're past the commercial break, let's get on with the show!

(Content warning before we continue: A character vaguely describes a failed suicide attempt.)

New book available!

Long story short, an RPG book I worked on is available! The book is Realms of Magic and Mystery for Scion Second Edition, and it's a book about otherworldly places within the setting, including particularly magical locations, pocket realms and alternate dimensions, as well as Overworlds and Underworlds.

I wrote the opening fiction, "Inside Out," as well as the sections on Under the Bridge (under 'The Realms Next Door'), the Thrice-Tenth Kingdom (under 'Midrealms'), and Yomi (under 'Over and Under').

(As this is a supplement, it will require the use of Scion: Origin. And while it doesn't require Scion: Hero, to the best of my knowledge, you might get more out of it if you have both books.)
