thessalianFurther update on the Exalted/Immortal thing:
1) Exalted: I'm in; character gen's on the 23rd. (I get a Sunday off! W00t!) They've got someone from every caste bar one -- Zenith Caste Solar, described as "the gods among gods, glorious leaders of the Unconquered Sun" by the GM. Not sure if he's trying to sell it or what, but I'm thinking it could still work. I still have every intention of playing an utter lunatic. I need the main Exalted book, apparently, though how I'm going to afford it on top of Magic Box for Buffy is anyone's guess.
2) Immortal: Ditched. Andy O'Hara says he found it unplayable but I didn't see that as the main problem. I think it was equal portions gaming attitude and a pride in the GM's personal White Wolf Universe that bordered on hubris. Not to mention the fact that they got obscene amounts done in the week and a half we missed through no fault of our own and the further fact that my Immortal character sucks.
And eventually, once Exalted has finished its run, I'll get a chance to GM myself. Of course, I'm going to be completely ignoring Ascension, Apocalypse and Gehenna -- given my personal beliefs and preferences, I'd have a very hard time running a game where the Celestial Chorus turned out to be right the whole time. So I think I'll just set the entire campaign pre-Ascension -- that at least gives scope.
Anyway, now I must Google to find some information on the Zenith Caste and some general Exalted stuff. However, I do have every intention on doing some writing of some kind today, so rejoice (or scream; whatever).
