May I say that the one single panel showing the juggernaut is INCREDIBLE. I want a full-page version of it for my desktop, srsly. Much <3 for that.
Also: exposition is perfectly fine in places like this. You don't want backstory to drag on too long, so making it superdense is perfectly okay...
It is my opinion that this is deliberately written vaguely so that Rule One can be applied - the Storyteller has final say on what the Immaculate Dragons/Elemental Dragons are, and it can go either way according to the needs of the chronicle.
If a plot point hinges on the ST saying one way or...
In the universe of Exalted, it is indisputable that prayers to the Gods are heard. Sometimes, they're even heard by beings other than the intended recipient, which can lead to scheming, sabotage, subterfuge, and outright poaching.
A good example of this is Solar Exaltation, actually - it...
Re: Tombs!
The hard part about this is dropping breadcrumbs that aren't obvious, but will still get the characters excited enough to pursue the possibilities.
- One of the PCs recognizes a sigil on a piece of junk in a marketplace: an amulet, a ceramic pot, an old minted coin, something...
Thank you all! I feel slightly less overwhelmed now. :roll:
As of now, everyone has been sick for the past two weeks, so I've really only managed to get one of the players started on his character; I think his character will be excellent, though, he's got a good concept. :mrgreen: Hopefully...
All right, while I admit I'm not precisely a n00b, this will be my first time actually running a tabletop Exalted game. Our previous ST is stepping down, because work is eating him alive, and I'd rather step up than have him drop out completely and risk the whole group falling apart.
It'll be...
TBH, I think noticing an animal spy (Familiar, spirit, nemissary, whatever) should work on the same principle as spotting a Lunar's Tell. So long as you keep missing your rolls, you won't notice a thing. But once you've spotted said animal, you'll always notice it, regardless of whether it's...
Aah, but the trick to getting away with it is getting some other chump to take the fall. :mrgreen: I could see a particularly vindictive PC going out of his way to get his mortal enemy an invitation into Yu-Shan - just so he'd be conveniently there when the Peaches disappeared.
After all...
...Why did no one tell me Leia Weathington was writing Bold Riley comics again?
They're all good, but "The Wicked Temple" is classically Exalted in feel.
Aah, but it's been established that Misho remembers only his First Age exaltation, and has amnesia about his more recent, pre-Exaltation, life. As a 'blank slate', it's perfectly possible for him to have been artificially augmented in some way, either by the Sidereals, some as-yet unknown...
I *really* like the pacing in this one - the use of sound effects to speed or slow time worked awesomely well! *takes notes for the future*
I concur with your reservations on the last panel - difficult to tell if she's striking with a fore- or hind leg, though I suppose logically it would have...
I didn't quite scream and gnash my teeth in the middle of the movie theatre, as I recall. (Which is good, Joseph probably would've disowned me on the spot.:mrgreen: ) But I was annoyed.
I like snappy dialogue as much as the next guy, honest. But even the most elegantly crafted language alive...
I liked Kill Bill, for the most part, except there was SO MUCH TALKING. The fight scenes were amazing. The dialogue was witty, but there was waaaay too much of it. This was especially true in ep two.
Maybe I just have a typical American attention span, but for chrissakes, you don't need a...
