Exalted Long Term Campaign Interest Thread

Funka Genocide · 09-03-2010, 09:37 PM

This is a basic interest thread to find some players for a chat based, long term Exalted campaign. The general idea is a multi-episode epic detailing the shifting of the epoch in Creation.

The idea would be to meet up via a chat program on a weekly basis and work through episodes in real time. We could handle any offtime or out of character things on this forum and use it as a general base of operations through pms and such.

I'd be running things as the storyteller and I'd like between 4 and 6 players who can make a regular chat group. Not really sure how long it'd go, but if time constraints became an issue we could make it biweekly and have pc's played by proxy.

I have pretty much every book from the first edition, and a few from second edition. You'd need to get your hands on these books yourself, which might make this an expensive (or illegal, depending on your predilections.) endeavor, but if you're like me and have been sitting on these books for the better part of a decade then this might be right up your alley.

Anyways. post here if you're interested, feel free to ask any questions or present any ideas you might have. I don't have anything written in stone yet so this could be a standard Solar campaign, an alternate single exalt type campaign or a free for all combined campaign depending on everyone's leanings. I'd prefer to have everyone on generally equal footing, so I'm leaning away from a Dragon blooded centric campaign, as they pretty much fall over like drunken prom dates in the back of a limo, but I digress.

I'm interested. Considerably more so in 2ed than 1ed.

My schedule is currently very open, but I can't promise it will remain so, however. So there's that.

I'd also prefer a solar or mixed campaign.

Funka Genocide · 09-03-2010, 09:43 PM

I think I've got the basic 2ed rule book and some various source books for artifacts and spells and shits.

I could probably get my hands on the other books somehow that is totally legit.

Overcast · 09-04-2010, 03:15 PM

I only have the 2nd Edition core and Dragon-Blooded sourcebook(which as I figured is pretty much useless at the time). I'm also completely new to the scenery, but I guess that there is only one good way to get better.

Also my major periods of activity due to my hours is about midnight to 4 am central time. Still I would be interested in this if I can be allowed in.

krogothwolf · 09-04-2010, 05:43 PM

I'm interested. I can obtain the books if needed.

Funka Genocide · 09-04-2010, 06:00 PM

Ok I've got all the source books now for 2ed and if we can get at least one more interested party I can start drawing up some plans and get a schedule in place.

If most everyone just has the main rule book we can run a solar campaign which is really what I'm looking to do. I like the idea of using all the other exalt types as foils, villains and all around assholes.

Setting is likely going to be immediately after the Empress' disappearance. I've got a few major story arcs in mind but we'll start off relatively small (ie: mainly concerning a major city and the surrounding areas in a single direction.)

Players will be basic starting solars, no special allowances for anyone and certain 5 point backgrounds and such might be vetoed out of hand because I'm a dick like that. Basically, I want the characters fresh off the boat, so to speak.

Interested Party #4

Buuut, I'm in Australia so the time zone difference might be a problem.

rapter200 · 09-05-2010, 10:22 PM

I have been looking for a new tabletop game, what is Exalted like and what setting is it. I am always looking for a new tabletop system, so I guess you can count me interested. I will look for the books tomorrow or the next day if the place by me is closed tomorrow.

Funka Genocide · 09-06-2010, 04:38 PM

Ok looks like there's enough people to get going. I am thinking a 2 hour window sometime on the weekends, I am located in Las Vegas so I'm American pacific time zone. If we can work it out for late Saturday morning in that time zone that'd be cool.

Like from 10am to noon PST. We can go longer or move around as needed.

If thats' cool then let me know, if not let me know a better time. I used to be a hardcore wow raider so I'm accustomed to shuffling my schedule for online crap, but I work 4 days a week from Monday to Thursday, I'm out of the house from around 5am to 5:30 pm so I'd like to avoid those days.

For those of you without the books, I'd recommend just getting your hands on the basic 2nd edition rulebook, you really won't need anything else unless everyone wants to do an alternative exalt type.

So what I'd like to hear from everyone at this juncture is their time preferences and campaign type. I'm leaning towards an all Solar campaign. I'd entertain Lunar and Sidereal and maaayyybe Abyssal. No Infernal, Alchemical or dragon blooded though.

No fair folk either.

But yeah, solars are pretty much the beefiest character types anyways.

Also: One more slot left if anyone else is interested, once we get the particular hashed out we can start submitting character sheets.

Would like to see some confirmations and responses from interested parties over the next few days.

OR ELSE!
