As promised long ago, the magnificent Emo-Rejecting Sword Art, which has never known defeat! At some point I'll write the Loresheet for the Virtuous Wulin Warrior, and play more with the Million Style Manual. I wanna play WotG SO BADLY.

( The Emo-Rejecting Sword Art Loresheet )

Happy birthday, alemara. I've been damn proud to call you friend for a fair long time. Here's to a coming year of glory, and the devastation of your enemies.

As part of the bargain from eiviiaru.

The first five people to respond to this post will get some form of art, by me. It will be about or tailored to -- likely the latter -- those five lucky victims people victims. (Why deny it?)

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations.

* I make no guarantees that you will agree with what I perceive as art and/or quality.
* What I create will be just for you. However, note that if I don't know you very well, I may not be able to do anything that fits your tastes or is non-half-assed, so caveat commentor.
* It'll be done soon. But as grad school has a tendency to top me, I make no guarantees or restrictions on what "soon" constitutes.
* Despite the phrase "some form of art," I have no talent save writing, therefore you will get writing of some sort from me. Or maybe game-crunch. Or both.
* I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. But if you're commenting to this, you should know that goes without saying.

And last but not least, the greatest catch:

If you sign up, you have to put this in your own journal as well, though you can limit your media/schedule/policies as you please.

In obedience to the laws of the meme, from eiviiaru

Please post here with one thing that I have done for you that you, personally, appreciate. (It can be a big thing or a little thing, because we all know that sometimes the little things are the most important.) Then post this in your own journal, so that I can tell you one thing you've done for me that I appreciate.

Apologies for the delay.

Two Exalted house-rules for implementation in the next game I run.

1. The Law of Dramatic Limit

Characters accrue Limit through encountering triggers or suppressing their Virtues as normal, and Limit Break when they reach 10 Limit (gaining Willpower equal to their Limit Virtue when they do.) However, the Storyteller now has the option of offering a character a Limit Break during a dramatic scene involving that character. If the player accepts, he immediately suffers his Limit Break for the remainder of the scene and gains Willpower equal to the his current Limit. (Players may also request a Limit Break under circumstances they consider sufficiently dramatic.) If the player refuses, nothing happens.


Design notes: This rule is intended to make Limit a dramatic tool rather than an often-ignored extra.

2. The Law of Heroic Death

In order to permanently kill a heroic character, the killer must dedicate a full-round action to the task, without splitting die pools or taking any non-reflexive defenses. Characters for whom this action is not taken will eventually recover, though they may be permanently scarred or otherwise carry reminders of their brush with death. Slain characters may, at their players' option, cling to life until the end of the scene, in order to deliver an appropriate death monologue.

Design notes: Exalted is an explicitly heroic game, and it is out of genre for PC (or major NPC) death to be accomplished easily.

I bet y'all thought I was done writing Exalted stuff for a while. Yah hah, skeptical soul(s)!

Abyssal Charms: Crimson Ritemaster Methodology

Necromancy: Harbinger of Devastation

Eventually I will also do some non-Abyssal stuff. Ya, rly.

This amuses me.

I should probably be worried by that.

Jake is a Tall True Ninja that wears an Eyepatch, has a Long Neck, a Swirly Hypnotic Gaze and Tough Chainmail Armor, and CANNOT BE STOPPED. Strength: 11 Agility: 12 Intelligence: 14 To see if your Super Battle Ninja can defeat Jake, enter your name and choose an attack: fights Jake using Strength Agility Intelligence

Updates!

Solar Charms: Unconquerable Sapphire Technique (Occult)

Abyssal Charms: Ravaging Touch of the Labyrinth (Occult)

Sorcery: Fires of the Five Maidens (Celestial)

Additionally, meme! Because I am weak-willed and saw eiviiaru doing it. Those of you who know the characters I roleplay or have roleplayed, ask them questions! They'll probably answer honestly. Or I will, whichever is most amusing.
