[Exalted] - A Lunar Campaign

James McMurray · June 07, 2009, 06:52:51 PM

This week's summary (in pdf format) can be downloaded from here.

I'm running a Lunar campaign in the Halta area, and currently using a modified Daughter of Nexus.

This is for game development; the actual play forum is elsewhere.

James McMurray · June 08, 2009, 01:48:29 PM

You sure about that? The subforum's description is "For discussion of game logs, as well as the design and development of new games, mechanics, and settings. This forum is for practical design and actual play, not for theory."

Yeah, this is the correct forum James. What's Daughter of Nexus?

Narf the Mouse · June 08, 2009, 06:06:49 PM

Sorry, missed that.

It's the second of two unrelated (I think) Exalted adventures published so far by White Wolf. It uses their Storyteller Adventure System, which as far as I can tell is there to look useful but mostly just tell you the author's opinion about how challenging parts are.

No problem. As I'm sure many old timers here will tell you, I'm a veritable font of mistakes myself.

I forgot to post the one from the week before last. In it the players break their deal with Heirophant Artemesia and instead take the moral high ground by siding with Councilwoman Dvora (which is also what their habitual damsel in distress wanted). They also take on some mass combat and a half-naked abyssal.

And here's last week's In it they take a journey through the wyld to find an ancient jade obelisk so they can bring it back and drop it in the heart of Lily and Lilac's (the Fae from the previous weeks) domain. They get, and reluctantly take, the opportunity to strip some magical metals off the fresh corpses of a group of Alchemicals.

Last week we were short a player so we did a one-shot of Big Trouble in Little China using the Silhouette Core rules, but we did play the week before.

The next part is up. It's longer than I've been trying to keep them, but a whole bunch of stuff happened last session. Also, there are two fairly in depth sections about how Fair Folk and those they teach shape the Wyld. I also added an OOC Status section to track rules stuff that is ongoing. Currently that's just the incumbrances of Ming and Tse (unless I'm forgetting something?).

Finally, I added an index page with brief descriptions of al the sections because I was getting tired of having to open every file if I wanted to find something.

And another one.

In this one they finish off Lilac and her behemoth, despite the appearance of a gossamer war strider and the fight taking place in the maelstrom of a Freehold in the process of being reshaped. They then travel to a previous incarnation of Brugs' manse to deal with Sajaukts, a lesser elemental dragon of wood. This leads them to begin preparations for defending against Yseult, a Fair Folk queen dead set on seeing all of humanity in Halta destroyed.

Last week's game, including three years of down time.

The session included the rescue of Resplendent Peak from Yseult's barbarian hordes, a whole bunch of training and resource gathering, and the foundation of a new allied Fair Folk / Lunar kingdom for Ming, Lily, and their demon-created hermaphroditic love child.

Secondary info includes Lily's created minions, the upcoming journey to the pole, The Opal Court (a Fair Folk court that Lily suggests not trying to bypass), Kotomaro (the dragon), and the mechanics behind Ming's Sword and Ring shaping.

James McMurray · August 05, 2009, 10:29:22 PM

Last Friday

They head into the Wyld and encounter the Opal Court. Ming schools Lord Japthia in shaping, which pisses the Fae off enough to attack with 500 cataphractoi. He shoulda brought 1,000.

James McMurray · August 26, 2009, 10:16:07 AM

Couple o' weeks ago

They survive a Wyld Storm; find and set up trade with a city of refugees from the Balorian Crusade; meet with, talk to, and then fight an Unshaped; and finally destroy Kotomaro to protect the Pole of Wood from an unknown Abyssal plot.

This update contains two weeks' worth of sessions rather than one. In the first, the group was set upon on all sides by enemies from their past and Sidereals out to destroy Ming's united Fair folk / Human kingdom. In the second, they begin to explore Denandsor.
