Recently got a core book for Exalted and would love to be in a game of it since it looks extremely interesting!

I would also love to play in a game of exalted! Though now it seems like we're just following each other here.

I too would like some Exalted.

Pick me, pick me!
Sooo many unloved Exalted concepts needing a good dusting off.

Which edition of Exalted did you get?

Well 2nd is the one I'm used to

Off the top of my head i cant remember what edition i have

Exalted is a great game.  I've tried running games of it on RPOL but non last past the first combat.  Combat is so long winded, it kills the game in PbP games.

I use a different system called Wushu, and the same setting as in Exalted.  There is an adaptation for the Wushu rules called the 'Scroll of the Fist' which adapts the Wushu rules nicely.

Why I say this is that because of the rules changes, my Exalted game has actually had lots of combat, lots of story, and some great fun.   I'd be willing to start up another, if players wanted to commit to it. I'm happy to provide a link to those who want it in RMAIL (so as not to break the thread rules).

I've one such game starting up: link to another game
It is rated MATURE.  It is based around the Infernal Exalted, but takes them up as the Heroes of Creation... Check it out.

Ten years ago, the Empress disappeared, and the Solars returned to the surface of Creation in numbers which had been unknown since the Usurpation.  Lunar Elders noticed their arrival as soon as the Realm did, and several of these children of the Unconquered Sun  begun making their mark on the politics of the Threshold and Yu-Shan.

Ten years ago, the Yozi's hatched a plan with their Neverborn brothers and sisters to release the captured exaltations of the Solars and to twist them to their purpose.  The plan had been to take all of the Exaltations, and to keep only a third.  For whatever reason, however, this plan went awry.  Only half the Exaltations were captured by the Neverborn's minions, and so only 50 were passed to the Yozis.  Undeterred, the five conspirators worked with this setback.  Fifty would be enough to release them from the prison of Malfeas itself.

The plans for the Reclamation went ahead at the prescribed pace, until something so profound signalled the start of the death of Creation.  On the third day of Calibration, last year, the Sword of Heaven was fired.  A beam of energy struck the Daystar, sending it crashing into the Western Oceans, boiling the seas for hundreds of miles, and plunging Creation into Darkness. An image of the Queen of Death appeared and simply stated that 'Weep, for the Bell Tolls for thee' before vanishing.

Since the Daystar's destruction, the only sunlight in the sky is localised, created by various gods that have offered their services as Suns – their weakness is reflected in their inefficiency in creating light of sufficient power as to grow crops, or to pierce the gloom.  Creation is a dark place now, RY 770.

The Yozis, of course, understood the significance of the death of the life-giving light that powered their Creation.  They understood that Creation would die if it was not replaced.  Worse, the pleasure dome would cease to function if Creation failed.  No longer do they care so much about escape: the only thing that each of them cares more for is the Games of Divinity – and ensuring the games are there to return to.  The Yozis' re-tasked their minions to the survival of Creation, to ensuring that it survives the onslaught of the mysterious Queen of the Dead.

I like the concept. I've only played 1st Edition exalted but loved it and combat didn't used to take too long either, I'm surprised it does on here when I've seen some combats take months {on here} because people only log in once a week in some cases.

Exalted has a hard combst system because it covers so much of just about everything, and I am hoping that the upcoming 3rd edition fixes the yuck second had. The problem wirh Exalted was scaling. It has a great setting and mythos, but at the same tome the mechanics are similar to the left hand not knowing what the right has done.

What kind of adventure are you wanting? A long term sandbox with kingdom building would be nice.

I have a nice concept for a Lunar Sorceress in mind, but I agree, the rules are terribly cubersome. Which is ironic, considering how good a job White Wolf did in keeping V:tM rules light.

Much of the World of Darkness was easy to learn and play.  The first edition did not suck and was fun, but second just was just to mechanics heavy and combat took way too long. Spending XP for character growth is fun though, but that's about it. With all the optional rules I've found Pathfinder to be a pretty close substitute for the over-the-top crazy fighting stuff.
