Sunstar Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 So after some thought I figured I'd try my hand at running a Exalted game. First time I've run a forum game like this. But we're not playing vanilla. Instead here's the setting: Earth 2045 The second age and the third age following it have ended. In the nuclear fire that ended the Third Age, the Gods have awakened from their slumber, Ghosts now roam bombed out ruins of cities, Fae descend from Space, and once again...the Exalted have returned to be the saviors (and conquerors) of the new age. Welcome to the Fourth Age: The Age of Ruin Solars Only, sorry to people who wish to play other splats This takes place about 10 years after the apocalypse, So backstories should reflect what the characters were doing before the world went FUBAR Being Deliberately vague with the cause the end of the Second Age as I would like you to find out IC We're starting in the midwest of what used to be America Details of the World to follow (I do this right?)

Richard Reynes Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 sounds fun so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 It's a start. I'd need to see more before I'll know if I'm inspired enough to put the time into this game. Time's a short commodity lately for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoleth Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I'm somewhat interested. Do like me some Exalted...... And it's been a while since I've played a Dawn Caste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin OOC Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 heh That's the caste I always play... they're so much fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoleth Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 50 minutes ago, Justin OOC said: heh That's the caste I always play... they're so much fun They are at that. I've forced myself to play other Castes over the last while, but most of them pale in comparison. Though query for Sun. Are there restrictions that you are going to want to adhere to? Is the Errata document in play? Are Ink Monkey's charms off limits? Stuff like that. I admit, I am playing around with stats already, but I can't do that properly without knowing this stuff. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I'm curious about more setting info...it sounds like a big departure from the core setting, and that influences a lot about character generation, from concept to Backgrounds, and so on.

Nina Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 sun...were you serious about this? would really like to know more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nina Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 ok after consideration and talking to long and I can't come up with anything as a zenith. so I'm gonna switch to Twilight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 And I'll form the head! Er...night caste for me then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstar Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Here's the rules Charms from Errata and Ink Monkies okay Noone can start with a Artifact above 3, and details of how you got said artifacts or the materials to make it must be given. No Manses or Demenses above 2, no Celestial Manses at all. Vehicles in Shards will be allowed. Vehicles in other books will need to be built if you want it. Drive and Firearms abilities are allowed, Dawn and Eclipse castes Will have to pick only Five Caste abilities. Noone Can Start with Sorcery without GM approval We're gonna be starting in what's left of DC btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaoleth Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I would have personally just shoved Firearms under Archery and Drive under ride. Or possibly lore. There are examples of it being done that way in the Core book, with Fire Wands, Flame Pieces and the like running off archery, while piloting Artifact vehicles can be argued for either Sail, Ride or Lore, depending on the form it takes. The Archery one in particular because if they're split, the Charm trees are going to be nigh identical, just replacing all mentions of bows with guns.

Richard Reynes Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 can I make the case of starting with essence 3? I believe everyone's planning to start with it, can we please not have to waste points on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nina Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 i HAVE TO RETHINK EVERYTHING NOW NOT BEING ABLE TO START WITH SORCERY IS A BIG TURN OFF FOR ME I MAY HAVE TO PASS ON THIS GAME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hm, yeah. I think I have enough games on my plate for the time being. Thanks, Sunstar, I hope y'all have fun. Later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nina Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'm not out yet just not happy with no sorcery probably will not play a twilight since there is little reason to now might try a night caste if I can come up with something but really need more world info and fluff hard to make a character in a vacuum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstar Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Ill post more info when I get home from work. But Nina .....I said no sorcery without st approval not no sorcery at start..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceWildcard Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 seems interesting. I haven't played the game before, but am willing to try. Just hope I got the right edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoleth Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Ace, it's 2nd Ed. Wherever Exalted is Written on the book, there should be two little pips in the bottom right of the Box with the text on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceWildcard Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I cannot see what you mention. As such I think it's an older edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If I recall correctly, If the cover has a black woman with a bow standing alone, it is 1st edition. If the black woman is standing with a group of people, then it is 2nd edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceWildcard Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I think it's first edition. I went looking on the web. From what I can tell it's first unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstar Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Second Edition is what we're going with DC: DC is mostly in ruins. A shadowland is growing steadily over the past few years. Now only the pentagon and the surrounding area have yet to be absorbed into it. Combined with sightings of Raksha scouts in the area, it’s looking like the Pentagon won’t hold for much longer. There are plans to try to evac the population and head to New York, where rumors of some survivors having established themselves lead to. Maryland-Virginia area Nature slowly is reclaiming the areas around DC. Wood Spirits are incredibly territorial. With in Baltimore, what hasn’t been destroyed is divided up between various gangs, usually lead by dragonblooded. Maybe of the survivors of Baltimore swear allegiance if only to avoid trouble. Langley recently fell to army of the dead about four months ago. Richmond is now mostly a battle ground between survivors and invading Raksha. Figured Communications would be down so info beyond rumors of the outside is pretty sketchy. Yu-shan: Freaking. The Fuck Out. The Gods Are scrambling around trying to restore their old hierachies and positions since the Slumber. Most pressing is getting the Loom up to code and figuring things out. To this end the Gods issue a APB for Any Sidereals that Exalt in attempt to Drag them up the Yu Shan, get them through Basic Training and put them on duty in the BOD. Another Pressing concerned is the spawning of new deities from all the concepts man invented during their absense, Some of them find their elder siblings old hierachies and rivalaries distateful and would rather strike out on their own. Fae: the Raksha were less than pleased to be cut off from Creation, even more so to learn that a entire Universe Spawned around it. Feeling that Earth is something of a focal point, the Fae attempt to attack it from the one place that the Wyld still reaches....Space. The Fae arrived on earth roughly four years ago attacking settlements and creating wyldzones. The Underworld: The Neverborn have been deadly quiet You can all groan. Only four of their Deathlords have awakened in the new area, the Lover Clad in Raiment Tears, the Silver Prince, the First and Forsaken Lion and Eye and Seven Despairs. The former three are trying to rebuild their infrestructures and forces . And with so many dead from the War, they have all kinds of new recruits.... As for what Eye is doing...he's probably trying to get back at his old circle's reincarnations for that Kick me Sign... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
