The God-Machine update is here, o' frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Yet it's going to be a long time before we see any of the new Chronicles books for any line besides Vampire. Werewoofs are next and, while Idigan is looking quite neat, they're not my favourite line. Mage doesn't look like it'll...

The Storyteller System and its writers seem to have a problem with sorcery. You know it, I know it, everyone who has played Exalted knows it. The one time it feels done well is probably the Mage games, where sorcery is more or less creativity allowed to run rampant. The most evident example of...

You heard about it on the news, and didn't worry at first. Outbreak of mysterious flu in China, twelve dead. Happens every few months, doesn't it? And when it spread, and the body count rose, you didn't worry because it was happening "over there", in foreign lands. It would never come here. And...

And so it was written, that Uthar slit the throat of the Mother-of-Rivers, and from her blood poured forth all the waters of the world. The land ceased to be arid and dry, and plants grew at the water's edge. Some of the plants grew so strong that they became animals, and some animals so strong...

Welcome to Creation. It's pretty awesome. Over there's the tree, and that's my house. My grandma lives in the next house over, she bakes awesome cookies. She says it used to be awesomer before the Oosurpayshun. I think it's pretty rad now, though. Huh? Whatta ya mean, you don't know about the...

The heat of the day in Gem is enough to kill most mortals, or at least bring them to their knees. The sensible hide inside. The slaves of the Despot, however, know that they face death, imminently. Their demise is now almost inevitable. Even with the blue-robed warriors at their sides, they are...

Relief is a rare commodity in the deserts of the South, making its presence much more sharply punctuated than its absence. Behind the heavy wooden door and black granite walls, carved into the volcanic ridge, Seven's home provides respite to the singed and sun-baked band who fled from the depths...

Crawling out of a ventilation hole, into the searing sunlight, the surface of Gem is every bit as harsh as the reputation suggests. The heat is unbearable, and exposed skin feels like it's burning in mere moments. The stone exterior of the market's high domes are like ovens; palms are left red...

(Dust and Wind group) Mansur's calculations were accurate, if only barely so. The caravan arrives mere minutes before dawn, avoiding the harsh rays of the rising sun. By the time the loaded carts make their way through the winding tunnels and the layers of customs, the sun is high in the sky...

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it. Amidst the orange-yellow sands of the desert, the white tents of the caravan shone like mirrors. The noon-day sun beating down cooked the ground like a fire was lit beneath it, and the camels would die of sun...

Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with. The heat. Sun above, the heat. Ask any man, woman, or child what they remember from their time in Gem, and that's what they'll tell you. They'll tell you plenty else, of course; the markets, the sights, the sounds, the smells...

"Write it down, please!" for the curious.

This is where all the important NPCs will go.

For the curious, the title is "Can you speak slowly?" in Arabic. Felt appropriate. This is the OOC, for all your OOC-chatting needs.

Another request! Forum Name: A Shattered Visage - Legend: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Sub-forums (and their legends): -Sand and Song - Adventures -Heroes and Actors - Character Sheets & NPCs -Tombs of the...

The title is misleading, I'm afraid. STing is an art in Exalted and I need practice. I've always believed that the best ST is the one who pretends to have a master plan but is really just excellent at providing plot hooks and creating stories by having organic characters making the world feel...

The Salesman - Your Eternal Friend with a Smile Caste: Fiend Concept: A monster behind a smiling mask Motivation: To get the whole world under his thumb Urge (Cecelynian): Convince the poor of Merkal that he is their savior Anima: A featureless shadow copy of himself, with clawed hands...
