I'm not aware of any historical evidence that Michaelangelo was gay. Pride groups have a tendency to claim positive historic figures as their own rather liberally (look at how Cleopatra is a symbol of "black" feminine power), so until I see said evidence, I'm going to be skeptical.

Note that selling Dynastic children to the Fair Folk is against the Immaculate philosophy. In the same sense that killing your father and raping your mother over a church altar while singing hymns to Satan goes against the Christian ethos.

If they're in the Realm, they should be working for the Dynasty, the Legions, the Thousand Scales or one of the Great Houses. If they're going to get in fights with gangs of DBs, they're not going to survive, period, so it seems like a dead end to go down that route.

Why are you arguing comparitive power levels when everyone in the game will have the same base stats? In terms of what's realistic, Exalted excel over mortals in Abilities, not only in using them to shred a pack of demons with a spatula, but just in general learning the same tricks of the...

They should use the basic requirements of all Dynasts to graduate from Primary school as found in the DB hardcover. I'd add to that, however, if they attended a Secondary school. Give some freebies to compenate for those requirements, too.

Damn, you guys are uptight. I thought it was funny as Hell. The Ice Cream-aspect? Classic. I'll never think of Air Aspects the same way again.

I'd like to add that on top of the corebook rules, you might want to just go ahead and pre-emptively do what I've done for Shields, and change them to being -2 dice for every current -1 success. The reason for this is that the game has a programmed in minimum dicepool size of the character's...

It seems more likely that it's designed to make Dodge, well, suck less. In that line of thought, they should get rid of cascading parries, too, but you can't have everything. A dodge is a dodge, though. Whether you have to dedicate an action to it or not shouldn't, for any reason I can...

Sin City. Most of the characters could be argued as God-Blooded or even Heroic Mortals, but Marv and Kevin are definitely the real deal. Kevin is of course the perfect Abyssal, and Marv reminds me of a Lunar's warrior ethos, actually. And Hartigan reminds me a lot of an old, tired Dragon-Blooded...

It makes sense to me. I know that I've never noticed dodging to be an active thing in a fight, at least not in 19 times out of 20.

Sorry about the delayed response. I've been hit by a flu recently, and energy supplies have been rather low. That being said, only one of those links (SteelWanderer) was working for me. Ummm... wondering why. Makes designing a group rather difficult.

How do you reconcile this with everything else you've said? You seem to want to simultaneously argue that the Terrestrials are much less important than other Exalts (true), merely figureheads controlled by the Sidereals, much more inept at everything than Solars/Abyssals and much less able to...

But it's much more ingrained in Dragon-Blooded. Celestial Exalted don't all share a common heritage; most of the Terrestrials in Creation do. They're Scions of the Realm. They're part of a wide-reaching civilization with many tiers and niches, both amongst their fellow Exalts and the mortals...

I am in no way going to ever go back to read this thread a second time, but I seem to recall Joseph actually being completely civil in his response. If anything, it's fascist to start a thread that's basically asking, "Who uses sex in their games?" and then call someone that says "Not me" a...

Excerpt from an article by Anthony Alongi. It's about multiplayer Magic, but it applies equally well to storytelling. I've noticed a recurring pattern over the years of people on forums giving Storyteller advice that's needlessly complex and sneaky. Most of the time talking honestly and...

I'm fairly sure that making that offer in one of my games would just drive the PCs more to attack the king, as he's clearly proven he has more virgins/cows than he knows what to do with, and, hey, free virgins/bovines.

.... ...They can spend two motes to dodge a fucking battle. Do people still not get this?

Yeah, so I joined it. ... ... Yeah. 'k.

I meant the DB's. How much exp each do the Solars have? If you wanted to just give me their stats, I could design the five DBs for you. I like designing DB's. They're shiny and oh-so-clearly the best Exalted type.
