Hi All, I have not yet anything set but I was looking for Exalted players. I'm not set yet for what would it be, but I really want to know how many of you are also interested in that. I'm no Storyteller, but we can just make something in free mostly.

Who else is interested just drop me a line here, lets see how many we can get for that.


Muse

  *Pounce!* 

  I love you forever! 

  Please go through with this.  Please? And let me play?  *puppy dog eyes!* 

  *chuckles*  I have some ideas I'd love to try, let me know if/when your'e ready for them.  ^_^;;

I'm a long-time exalted player (1st and 2nd eds), and would likely be interested in playing were there another Exalted game going on. (Saw one, it looked like they were having fun.)

I'd Also be interrested in an exalted game.

Hello People.

I think we have enough people. Tell me your ideas for the story. Any of you would like to give us some plot ideas? I sure would like to know yours, Muse.

Anon, do you know were I can find this other Exalted role play?

Exalted games tend to crop up semi regularly. I know we have quite a few fans of it here.

Good morning.  

I believe they’re referring too Idej’s game, “Exalted: the Empress Falls”  You’ll find it on this board:  https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?board=347.0

I’m also starting a Leginos of Lookshy based game called “The Power That Preserves.”  It’s too crowded to open to general applications, but I have a policy to offer anyone who runs for me a free spot in something I run.  Would you be interested?  https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?board=393.0

   I’m fleshing out my idea right now, but the basic image is a number of petite young women on the back of giant white owls (Strix).  They’re all wearing bare midriffed, form fitted lamellar, wielding spears and bows or maybe javelins.   

   I’m speculating about specifics right now.  I think I’ll make the girl who leads this unit a Linowan—and her lunar bond a haltan! 
   She’s not allied with Bull of the North, but rather put out with both him and her people working with him.  Her band/village was attacked by the army of a remote dynastic province on a slave raid.  She escaped the disaster herself by hiding in a first age tomb, where she exalted in battle with the guardians and found her panopoly. 
With her newly Exalted status she went to Yurgen Kaneko, who trained her briefly, but was too caught up in his wars to swat a loan satrapy.  Before long, Moonshadow snuck away on her own to deal with it personally, inciting an uprising and defeating the resident dragon blooded. 
The rest of her air force are from those who wished to follow her—hand picked girls who are healthy, spirited, and small enough to ride a Strix.

Hi Muse,
  I could be interested in that story of yours. I'm not so used about Haltan and Linowan, but I can fix that easily.

As for the others, we can make our new story here. Just tell me what you want from an Exalted game and what can you offer for it. I think we can "crop" I nice one here. It looks like a fertile ground to grow such a tree.

No. I don't. I would make a poor storyteller if I try. I guess so. If if find nobody to be the Storyteller, I can be it, but then I will do a very sandbox style game.

If you can't find anybody else, and people would want me, I may consider rerunning my Circling Darkness chronicle where seven different Deathlords simultaneously declare war against Creation.  I'd want to try to get a Perfect Circle of Solars for that, though, because it'd be hard.

Of course, I tend to be pretty fast and loose with various White Wolf stuff, so it may not be that awesome for people who are huge on canon.

Hi there folks, I've been asked by Muse to ST this for you. It's my first time running on Ell, so you'll have to go easy on me ^_~ First off I'd like to keep this to a manageable size of five to ensure I can keep things flowing. That is Muse, Andy Z, Star Girl, Avorae and Anon based on a first come basis, so I must apologise that we're full on that basis Zaer.

Next I was wondering what sort of style of game people would like to have? I'm fairly flexible and like to work the story in with the PCs as best I can. Any areas of Creation or themes that people would particularly like to see?

I tend to prefer playing Lunars, unless that's a problem. Just a preference. I can play anything, solar, abyssal, sidereal, alchemical if need be, but I prefer Lunars.

As to setting / etc, I enjoy the thrill of discovery, and also some matters of social intrigue. The social combats of Exalted can be almost as thrilling, at least to me, as the physical and magical conflicts.

Muse

I'd prefer to play somewhere in the North or East, since my concept is somewhat tied to that area.  :)

Oooh!  If you're a Lunar strong in socialness, do you think we could meet each other fairly long and you could get the charms to train Strix for my air force?

Hi. That make me remember. Are you going to use rules? What kind of story are you planing? Of course you are very welcome to Storytelling, sorry for not answering early. I for one, I'm really bad with rules and I'm not the kind to do fighting and stuff. I really like the world and the story. But I can play otherwise, if my partners like it.

avorae

Sorry for the delay in posting but I've been rather ill the past few days.

As for the style of game I would like to play in it really doesn't matter to me but I was wondering if you would allow a Half-caste into the game.

I've had this concept that I've wanted to play for a while of a Half-caste raised by her mother and grew up hearing stories about how her father who she has never met was this great warrior. Wanting to be like him she studied the martial arts and when she came of age she left her small village to search for him as well as to find better opponents to test her skills against.

Maybe there's enough interest in a second game? I've never played Exalted before... :)

Zaer Darkwail

Playing exalted is easy; you just roll bunch of dice and hope get much as possible successes on them (90% of time, rest 10% are virtue rolls). Complex part is to build char so it fits your concept and can survive lethal exalted universe.

traveller5k

A second game sounds like a good idea; I didn't want to put people off by putting a limit on players. It's the number of players I'm comfortable STing for at the moment rather than anything like that.

As for the game I'm planning to use Second Edition with the appropriate errata plus a couple of extra tweaks that I prefer. I try to avoid too much combat, especially for large groups as I know how Exalted can get a bit clunky on forums in that regard. And I tend to run fast and loose to a degree with rules when I don't feel they add to the situation at hand.

I'd be looking to run the usual heroic style of Exalted game for a mixed party of mainly celestials, though I am quite willing to entertain half-castes and the like for people. I would also look to work in people's backstories and actions into the plot of the game to bring everyone along.

Setting-wise, I do actually have an adventure set in the north-east I've been wanting to run for a while, centrered initially around an independent settlement caught between the westward encroaching northern reaches of Halta and the Tear Eaters. How does that sound to people?

Anon315

I am unfamiliar with the Tear Eaters, but I will read up on them. Otherwise this sounds like exactly what the group wants and I would be very much behind the idea.

ShadowFox89

 Maybe concurrent games running in the same continuity with their own ST in each? It'd take some cooperation, but those games tend to be fun.

Try the books about the North. I think they're a tribe of cannibal mutant barbarians. They might work for one of the Deathlords and/or worship ghosts.
Thank you, fellow Elliquiyan, and have a wonderful day.

Muse

  I believe what Cold Heritage says is correct.  They worship their ancestors and the Lover Clad in a Raiment of Tears.  As a result, they have a lot of powerful ancestors--ghosts--, half-ghost heroes, and are generally dangerous in a necromantic fashion. 

  And of course they're nomads, so they're strengthened by a hard life to begin with and hard to pin down in one spot.

Well, I think we need NC too. Not that it should go into each scene. It is just that some NC charms are just too much into NC range, so I would say that the same for us it to put it under NC Exotic.

And now I'm wondering how crazy I'd be to try running two exalted games at once. 

Are people stuck on the idea of a celestial level game?  (Solars and Lunars?)  Or could we try something with Outcastes and elementals?  Or even God Blooded? 

Are there any particular directions (with their associated gender polotics) that people especially favor? 

The familiar family groups of the north?  The matriarchy with total romantic freedom of the East?  The patriarchy with bondage elements popular in the south? 

  The West can be an issue for a game with a lot of girls.  The storm mothers enforce a strong taboo against women on the water--unless they join a specific guild called the Taya.

Tya you mean, the female sailors are all Tyans or exalted (DB's also can be expection even storm mothers rules but customs are strict in West overall).

Anyways I do not mind play god-blooded or 'lesser' than celestial exalt. I would not mind a full blown real dynasty game which focus on everyday affairs in Dynasty. Or group of university students who study in different academies in realm who hang out and are perhaps even childhood friends.

Or be Lookshy DB's and god-bloods/heroic mortals.

stargirl

Me too. I don't mind playing DB or anything else. I actually like that very much.

As for taboo, this isn't necessarily bad. We can have that or not. So for me, make what you would like more and I will follow.

ShadowFox89

 For a game, I'd like to suggest the following character generations:

Dragon-Blooded

- 8/6/4 Attributes
- 36 Ability dots along background minimums (11 dots in Realm and 17 dots in Lookshy) while Outcastes have 12 dots spread following manner (these are bonus ability dots); Survival or Bureaucracy 3 dots, Presence 2 dots, Lore 1 dots, Occult 1 dot, Larceny 1 dots, 3 dots either Archery, Martial Arts, Melee or Throw, 1 dot in Dawn minus War.
-Five free speciality dots
- 18 Background dots, with the ability to get backgrounds up to 4 dots without spending BP and gain free 2 dots in Connections and 2 dots in Artifacts backgrounds. Realm DB's need place 1 dot at Backing (for House or any Realm government branches) and have placed 3 dots into Resource. Lookshy needs place 1 dot for Backing (Lookshy government branches) and either have placed 1 dot in Command or Influence and 2 dots in Resource. DB's who are outcastes do not have additional limits besides Connection and Artifact dots.
- 20 Charms, half of which are Aspect/Favoured
- Essence starts hard capped at 3

Lunars

Attributes:
Caste Attributes: 8 dots
Favored Attributes: 3 favored attributes with 6 dots between them.
Remaining Attributes: 4
Extra Dot: 1 extra dot for Caste/Favored Attributes.

Abilities: 25, 2 favored abilities, none may be higher than 3 without bonus poits.

Advantages: 7 background points.

Essence, willpower, and virtues are as normal.

Charms: 10 charms and/or knacks

Everyone

5 bonus charms, +1 -0 health level per dot of stamina
Flat XP: http://forums.white-wolf.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1003274#post1003274

I usually go with 70xp for Flat, which is the equivalent to 35bp.

Anon315

Good Lord, that seems overpowered by half. Having never played by those rules I can't be certain, but it just looks like an awful lot of dots and extra health levels. (After all that's what Ox-Body Charms are for.)

Besides which, I thought we were looking at being DB's or Castes or other weaker forms, not celestial exalts now.

ShadowFox89

 That's just my suggestion, and I won't be playing if we do dragon-blooded or anything less than celestial.

Zaer Darkwail

The said DB creation rules were for DB's who play in game alongside of celestial exalts. This way DB's get tons of lots goodies to go ahead the celestials which eventually long run go over them. But then again DB's grow also and in return they are more in balance than start both DB's and celestials on same starting line in char gen wise.

Anyways 3 yays for DB game and one against it and go for celestials (with boosted DB chargen to balance DB's out). I do not count my own vote either direction, altough a pure terrestrial game which focuses to one DB communities (Realm, Lookshy or one DB families in north or elsewhere in setting) would be interesting.

It can be major story even DB perspective if we would just focus on isle alone, which if following published adventure module and most likely outcome; enters to civil war which in itself can be dramatic event to roleplay through and the follow up. Just my few cents in favor to focus DB's as rarely there are games which focus on them (instead of focus on one celestial exalts).

  I could develop the same idea for outcaste dragon blooded and powerful god bloods if everyone prefers? 

  Does anyone have a preference between deserts and jungles?

I am fine either dessert or jungles, but jungles overall have more communities and richer fauna.

Anyways as said I am fine in either game mode and if you make one game devoted to celestials/powerful DB's and other for DB's and powerful god-bloods I am interested on both to see how stories go :).

I have some core ideas about it, but want to know if people would prefer the An-Teng region, the South, the South-East (jungles) or the East. 

The story will have plenty of adventure, intrigue and over the top action, but we'll also be rebuilding at least one lost metropolis--perhaps as a haven for those persecuted by the Realm?  Or even as the seat of a new solar lead nation?

I suppose the North could work too. 

Something i specifically want to address is directional gender politics: 

--The south is a patriarchy with strong gender rolls.  There's plenty of things a girl can do on an adventure, both inside and outside of the system, but it's a good region if we want some submissive girl themes. 

--The East is a Matriarchy.  The basic family unit is the mother or grandmother and her brothers, raising the mother's children (and possibly grandchildren.)  Matriachs don't tend to stick to one man--though they often have a couple of favorites who either come and go or settle down in their household.  The makes the east good for 'free love' themes.  It's also a good place for 'girl power' stories.  Elder daughters tend to have political power and business acumen, not to mention know how to defend what's there's by whatever means necessary.  Younger daughters--unable to inherit--take up all kinds of professions--including adventuring mercenary and scavenger lord--too enjoy their youths and eventually earn up enough to start a household of their own. 

--The north is pretty egalitarian, and a good place in which to tell a love story recognizable to the modern world.  Also a nice place to snuggle up together under a big comforter to ride out the snow.  :) 

--The west has rather stronger gender rolls than the south, though still has socially acceptable ways to flaunt them.

My preferances;

1) An-Teng (A great southern location indeed, and risky for celestials in way as city is heavily realm influenced and so lots DB's around)
2) South-East (Jungles)
3) East
4) North
5) West

Teo Torriatte

I'm a pretty big fan of submissive girl themes, so I would pick the south. But really, I'll be cool with whatever everyone decides on.

Lulz. Been there, done that- which is to say if that lost metropolis is dear old Rathess. Not that I'd mind doing so again, of course.

Muse

*laughs*  Maybe if we do the jungles. 

But I'm already doing that.

I like the desert (and also desserts) and submissive girls theme.So, as for descriptions, I guess my choice is the South. Anyway, I will need help with details for any of them directions.

It was a very fortunate time to receive a gift. 

If the man delivering it hadn't been a powerful sorcerer able to take you both instantly to a shelter 40 miles away, those fifteen jade armored warriors might have been the death of you. 

   "I bear gifts from an anonymous party in Heaven," he explained.  "She bid me proffer to you these gifts.  She also wished it known that it would please her if you would participate in the restoration of the shining metropolis once known as Hassanthra, the City of a Thousand Fountains.  Others with gifts similar to yours may choose to achieve the same goal." 

Solar Character Creation: 
--Attributes:  8/6/4

I could yes, but I had idea for twilight char instead as I play in two games already as DB. I come off with a concept and PM it to you then.

I'll have to think about this some more, don't have a character concept ready to roll, but I definately want in on this.

I would be interested in this if a spot opens up.

Zaer Darkwail

So far as I know spots are open based on submissions; there is big list of names but it depends on folks do they get time to finish their charsheets or concepts up or not. Also I think Muse did not call there is no more room either (drop rate of players in Elliquiy is big so better take lots players than too few).

Muse had mentioned sending out invites to twelve people, and there was some implication that the game was closed, so I decided to err on the side of caution and just let it be known that I am interested. If there is indeed room, I have a couple of character concepts I could write up fairly quickly.

Muse

  Hi Trystia. 

  It's a pretty big group, but go ahead and give me an idea of who you'd like to play. 

  If I can't handle the group, I'll recruit an assistant GM.

Okay, just before lunch I instituted a house rule: 

There is a merit called Protege (sp?) in the Scroll of Heroes.  It's fairly pricey, and most benefits mortals.  One of it's effects is to decrease the experience cost of a specific aiblity by 1/2. 

I'm actually encouraging serious crafter's to take this merit--where normaly I wouldn't want more than one person in a game to have this kind of merit for any given trait. 

I interpret it to apply to all crafts.  Furthermore--since craft is widely considered to be a hefty drain on a dedicated crafter's resources, I will allow people who take the merit a further benefit.  Bonus points spent on a merit for which someone has Protege yield 2 dots.

Beggars cannot be choosers and secondly it only cost double the motes to attune if you want the MM bonus that is on the damn thing. Without the MM bonus its just normal attunement cost unless I get a harmonic adaptor.

You mean, another game, in which you could play, as opposed to the one you're running?

I'm a very experienced Exalted GM, though I've never run it as a play-by-post. I might take a stab at it. Seems as though there might be enough other interested parties to round out yet another game.

Mind you, I'm also trying to launch a Traveller game, and if that comes together I don't think I'd have time to run two games. So give me a few days to see whether that idea takes hold before it drops off the front page and out of everyone's awareness.

*pounce*  That's exactly what I mean, and it would be most appreciated if you did.  :) 

(Some systems really lend themselves to play by post.  Exalted and other--more elaborate--systems it can help for players to correspond over instant messenger for combat resolution.  It's not necessary, of course, and there are other ways to make the game run smoother on play by post.)

I  hate to wish another game ill, but I'd far rather play Exalted.  Please let me know as soon as you do.  :)

(For those who don't have Shards: the Exalted lost the Primordial War and fled Creation aboard Autochthon. It's high-powered Exalted space opera with shades of BSG and other…stuff.)

Are you sure you'd be able/willing to sustain your interest in a game of which you are "honestly not a fan" over the long term? Because if not, please don't trouble yourself. I only want committed players, because my experience tells me that 2/3 of those who sign up for a pbp will drop out pretty quickly, even if they start out interested.

OK, so I count four people who are interested in any kind of Exalted, one who's interested particularly in a DB concept (whereas I would prefer to run a Celestial-level game), one who will play vanilla but not Gunstar, and one troll.

Four or five players are not enough to start a pbp; three of them will drop within two months, in my experience. Waiting on more people to show up. So far no one sounds particularly thrilled by Gunstar except me, so I guess that's off the table. :(

I had a post with a few paragraphs cut-and-pasted from the relevant chapter of Shards but I didn't think it would really tell anyone much about how the setting works so I deleted it. It was a violation of copyright anyway.

I'll put up something with actual useful information about Gunstar shortly.

Zaer Darkwail

Ahaa, ok. I managed read it and was about reply....and then disappeared so it left me paranoid to think 'did I just imagine that'?

Anyways it was enough info that I am willing to try the setting, it sounds interesting mix of space opera/sci-fi in exalted setting :). Also I did like Battlestar Galactica.

I can at least tell you that myself, Muse, and Zaer will likely stick around for a game. A DB in a celestial level game is possible, but requires some houserules to pull off without making the DB player underwhelming.

This is Gunstar Autochthonia (which I would still like to run if enough people are willing to try it):

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Four thousand years ago, the Exalted realized they were losing the Primordial War. In a desperate move, they took as many of their human followers as they could and boarded the world-jouten of their ally Autochthon, fleeing the Spiral that was their home for the depths of space. They left behind the Unconquered Sun, who had been beaten into submission and forced to swear fealty to the Universe-Emperor Theion (called Malfeas in the standard setting); they left behind Gaia, who grabbed the near-fatally wounded Luna and fled the Spiral aboard her own comet-ship Gnosis. The Five Maidens stole the Loom of Fate from Heaven and integrated it with Autochthon's crystalline core, instituting the Seal of Five Divinities and the Samkhya Heresy Protocols to prevent the Primordials and the Sun from tracking the fleeing Exalted by the prayers of traitors and the cycles of Celestial Exaltation.

The Solar Exalted rule over the Eight Nations of Autochthonia. It is their transcendent mastery of magitech that is still forging Autochthon into the Gunstar, the perfect weapon-world by which the titans can be defeated and the Spiral retaken for humanity.

The Lunar Exalted serve their mates in a variety of capacities. When the Dragon-Blooded pilots of the Gunstar Defense Line launch their voidfighters against the hellstars of the Green Sun Princes, the Lunars are there, needing no ships but taking on the forms of countless space-behemoths they have defeated. When new artifact-implants must be installed in the deepest Reaches of Autochthonia, the Lunars are there, adapting to impossible extremes of temperature, pressure and gravity, defending the crews of technicians against those of Autochthon's internal components that have never seen the face of Man. When Voidbringer cultists seek to open the hatches of the great world-titan to dark forces from without, the Lunars are there, infiltrating and bringing them to justice.

Without the Great Curse or the Arcane Fate, the Sidereal Exalted are what the Maidens meant them to be, trusted advisors to the Solars. They predict and shape the course of events within and without Autochthon, interfacing with the great titan's exmachina to reweave his Design.

The Dragon-Blooded bear the brunt of the fighting. The voidfighter pilots of the Gunstar Defense Line, the commanders of the ground troops who repel boarders and drill endlessly for the day that the Gunstar returns to the Spiral, the savants and sorcerer-engineers who assist Solars in their laboratories, the managers who keep the factories and temples of Autochthonia running smoothly, these are all chosen from among the Terrestrial Exalted.

The Alchemical Exalted are the Champions of the un-Exalted masses of Autochthonia, at once the visible face of authority to the people, and the defenders and advocates of the people in the councils of the Exalted. They are the only Exalts who see and participate in the day-to-day work that keeps all of Autochthonia running.

The Infernal Exalted (strictly NPCs) lead the Primordials' space-navy. Led by the Conquered Sun, they harrass the Gunstar constantly, tracking it across the stars, ever seeking its destruction. When they cannot triumph by force, they board the Gunstar under cover of diversionary battles, then use their Charms to subvert the populace within.

The Abyssal Exalted (strictly NPCs) are…an enigma. Sometimes void-pilots have reported strange black voidfighters appearing seemingly from nowhere to come to their aid, savagely attacking the Primordial forces, then disappearing as suddenly as they came. However, such sightings often presage seemingly unrelated disasters aboard Autochthon. Are these strange beings friend or foe?

PCs would be experienced Solar, Lunar, Sidereal, Terrestrial or Alchemical Exalted, built with more than starting points; I don't have the rules nailed down yet. Nor do I know yet how much of the rules-as-written I want to chuck out the window. I'm far more interested in setting, plot and character than I am in motes and ticks.

I am always willing to answer questions by PM, and often available by YIM. I do ask, if you contact me by IM, that you please mention in your first message that you are from Elliquiy and what your username is here; otherwise I am likely to block you as a spammer.

Meliai

I would really like to give Exalted a try (been signed up for a few games around here, none of which actually got started :\ ) buuuuut I've never actually gotten to play a game so I'm a bit worried that diving into an AU sort of situation would be confusing (and of course you guys might not want to have to hand-hold a newbie through this.)

So um...put me down as a .5 on the player count maybe?

 They plan on having Infernals out by 2014, dragon-blooded out by summer/August of 2013. The plan is something like 2-3 books a year, which is a pretty good production rate.

There's also a new edition of Scion coming out, which is awesome as Scion has needed a new edition for years.

I can see how that might be a problem, but I think we can work with it. (Assuming that enough people like Gunstar to form a critical mass for a game, anyway. If not, AU won't be an issue. :) )

I'm always happy to help a new player. There are a lot of things the rules don't tell you—it's one thing to make a character, another thing to make a character that will be fun to play and can kick ass in a satisfying manner.

Yeah, that's the trick! Most of my pen and paper experience has been with stuff more along the lines of D&D and Pathfinder. Exalted offers so many fun new ways to potentially screw myself over before the game even starts that it's kind of intimidating. I managed to cobble together this character by myself without too many problems but since the game never started she never got her trial by fire. (((Also on exhibit: my borderline OCD character sheet formatting.)))

Alright got a copy of Shards of Exalted dreams and looked it over. I haven't read the entire thing yet but it has peaked my interest and would love to play a game in it.
Life is a hard game but the rewards are sweet if you know where to look.
