Disguises (Exalted Fiction)

So here's a 'deleted' side-scene from a recent action sequence that I couldn't find a good spot to work into the write-up. The exact timing doesn't matter, just mentally place it wherever you'd like in the sequence of events.

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Showdown on Talipan Beach (Exalted)

Hey, sorry there wasn't a session write-up for last week. But as I previously mentioned, last week's session left off in the middle of a battle and for reasons that may seem obvious I decided to hold off.

That said, in case you missed it, I posted a little mini-fic to the blog. It's just a little glimpse into the First Age lives of a couple of the characters from the game. I hope it's obvious as to who everyone's supposed to be, I go pretty light on certain details, largely because I don't want to take too many liberties with my players' characters' earlier incarnations. But if people liked that, I might do more in the future as they come to me. Some may provide context or foreshadowing, they may focus on the PCs or NPCs or whatever. I don't have any hard plans for that beyond making sure the game isn't entirely about me writing First Age fanfic.

Nope, all about Second Age fanfic, here. Speaking of which, a quick aside before we get into it. There's a huge battle across the two sessions recounted here. Every now and again I cut away for a little interlude, and I share those here (though I may or may not have tweaked a detail between describing the scene at the table and writing it down). 

There was another I initially planned to share, but I cut it for time and replaced it with another sequence. And now I can't find a good place to insert it, because I think even one more paragraph of cutscenes are going to completely crowd out the stuff the player characters are actually doing. So I've posted it as its own little 'bonus content' mini-fic you can read later at your leisure. Just feel free to mentally insert it anywhere within the battle timing-wise, the exact spot isn't important.

And that out of the way, here we go!

Tales of the Moonlight Maiden: Death and Destruction (Exalted)

Welp, here we are again, with more Exalted-y goodness!

And, um... I can't actually think of anything to add. So let's just get to business to defeat the Huns!

(Actually, before we get to business, quick CW for references to mild drug use. Normally I wouldn't bother but there's just enough of them that I feel it's necessary.)

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!
