As a last resort I think it was okay to do. If nothing else, it was memorable and I got a chuckle out of it. All is forgiven, walk on without guilt! ^_^ As a sidenote- be glad that your DMPC was available to beat upon. Many of us players face DMPCs or pet NPCS that we can never see to face...

I have to say, that ending was high comedy! almost died of laughter :)

We ran with standard array for a few years. It felt fine, but it does cause some problems if your characters start dying. With a set array of stats, there are only so many ways you can build a class, and with people having their favorites (races and classes), there were only a handful of ways...

Damn that's awesome.

If you are going to have tables set up for gaming, and the gaming isn't card-based, you'll probably want to set up some kind of hourly or session-based fee system for table usage. You can have discounts for regulars and those who bring in referred customers. If you don't have some policy like...

Or a nocturnal, four-legged marsupial, for that matter. :D

Any sort of direct confrontation would probably have it fade out quite quickly... possibly in the form of a stabbing. How exactly do you wish to frame this? Is the vampiress a selfish immortal who sees this person as something to be had, and will do whatever she can to maintain this...

I've been running Exalted for 7 months and I still don't have it all down.

You can absolutely run the game with just the core book. However, you as a Storyteller and your friends as players will have to become accustomed to a couple strands of thought that are uncommon in many of the popular DND setting-centered products out there: 1- There's a massive setting out...

As far as I'm concerned, a dead character's like your guy being in Jail when you'd rather have him out buying up real estate in Monopoly. It is an aspect of the game that goes part and parcel with the rest of the far more entertaining stuff. I've seen players complain about death (mostly from...

Well, the designers went out of their way to avoid DBZ style "Boomery." There are all of three or so non-Sorcery Charms (they're like feats you buy with XP) that make bolts of energy or what have you. Typically it's fisticuffs, swordings, and the like. As for Sorcery booms, it's often stated...

I've always considered corpses to be uneven terrain (you know, the stuff that doubles yer movement and causes various penalties). Mechanically speaking, the act of burial is simply a matter of re-evening that terrain in case of future combat.

This question, and the manner in which you have chosen to present it, has been dignified over and over again at Rpg.net with popular-hit threads such as "What's up with all the Exalted Threads?", "Is Exalted as popular as people in this group seem to think it is?" "Explain to me, please...

If not Neutrality, then Law and Chaos definitely. I played a LN Cleric of St Cuth for well over a year, and saw both the BoVD and BoED go by and could use nothing in them. Defenders of the faith had all of 2 cleric-centered prcs that I could qualify for. The cardinal alignments (Neutral...

What'd the Black Dragon say to the Red as they flew away from a burning village? "Bless you."

Power Combat both rapidly speeds up Exalted combat and dramatically alters the feeling of Exalted combat as well. What was originally a resources game where you attempted to outlast an opponent's motes (or just blat him if you're clearly superior) has turned into a far more lethal set up.. with...

The cover's pretty revolting, as far as I'm concerned- it's lines all center directly upon the sorcereress' "Valor Chakra." Blatent cheesecake. As for the content, I'm pretty unhappy about it- a revised Bo3C is not what we need at this point- there are plenty of more important revisions...

One of the easiest and most rewarded ways of interacting with any DND setting is with a sharp object whose function is to kill things- primarily people. Typically, as before mentioned, this comes up when DMs aren't presenting negative and logical responses to such things or keeping the world...

prior to my discovery of the regularly touted OpenRPG chat/map client, I used a "range" system when running online combat. Basically, there were a few states of position that people could be in relation: Melee Range, Close Range, Far Range, Penalties Range, Sight Range. Melee: I can hit you...

Exalted's learning curve can be overcome without too much difficulty by simply easing into the rules. The Storyteller system is pretty forgiving when it comes to adhering to the exact text of the rules, literally stating in the Exalted Core that you are to ignore/overlook/cut out any rules that...
