I agree! The first, and best, game I started to run was Kitchen Sink Exalted. It's ongoing, and my favourite game ever - but that's really because of the people. I have no illusions that the game's structure is straining at the seams and if I had my time again I'd cut 75% of the content and get a vastly superior game.I would like to gently assert that this is a blatant lie. The hell you can't! I have a game that included all of that AND a Primordial ascension that still gives some of those players in Florida kneejerk reactions of terror and horror. It was a great game. Sure' date=' I was a burned out, soulless husk after all was said and done, but I was 17 and having a fucking ball doing it. Never again will I run something like, with as much ass pull as it had during the endgame, but man, it was fun. I agree with the focus, but you can totally kitchen-sink it. Hell, one battle toward the endgame was a sick re-creation of the Usurpation AND Underworld Apocalypse and part Reclaimation. It was all kinds of fun [i']and[/i] retarded. I've grown as a ST since, but I can't help but look back and laugh.
The point is, and seems you agree with me here, that while it can be done, you'll regret doing it. Especially if you don't know what you're getting into. Pick any antagonist group, two if you're feeling like hot stuff, and if you really want to later, build up from there. But really, assume everything is not happening unless you specifically decide to make it happen.
