Maybe a chat game, maybe a forum game. I don't know what I want to do yet, I just got inspired. Thanks to captain for helping make his speech even more awesome.
I would allow all exalted types even alchemicals, expect maybe Dragon Blooded because they fall short compared to everyone else. I have many ideas for this setting but I don't know if I want to spoil just yet.
Post below if you are interested. What type of game you'd like etc.

Appearance:
Scroll of Errata character generation rules. The Scroll of Errata takes precedent over the core book.
But to compromise here are my custom houserules.
All Craft abilities are now a single Craft. This means that Craft grants equal aptitude with blacksmithing, agriculture, architecture etc.
When rolling Craft for Esoteric crafts, they are limited by a single other ability, listed below:
Magitech: Lore
Genesis: Medicine
Fate: Occult
Glamour: Occult
Crafting small items roll Perception, crafting large items roll Intelligence
Every purchase of a charm in a tree grants a free Excellency from that tree. Charms that require Excellencies as prerequisites still require excellencies.
Infernals get the excellency of either their Caste or Favored Yozi for free, and get the second-excellency equivalent as well. If they get a Shintai charm for another Yozi, they get the first and second excellency for free (or refunded if they already have it for that yozi)
Alchemicals get Free Augmentations with the 3rd 4th and 5th dot of attributes. For the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Augmentations gained in this manner only have zero mote installation cost and are permanently installed - they do not take up a charm slot
Backgrounds not purchased at character creation may only be acquired through roleplaying. Backgrounds gained in play default to being Free Backgrounds. Free Backgrounds are subject to the whims of the story and can be lost easily. At any time, the player can spend 3xp per dot to make them Fixed Backgrounds. Fixed Backgrounds, while not immutable, possess a degree of protection against plot events and will typically not be lost easily.
The following charms grant a single free Ox-Body purchase, capped by your Essence. All Ox-Body purchases are capped by Essence rather than the old limit. Hardy charms either grant a single ox-body OR an excellency, chosen when the charm is taken.
