Exalted? Hmmmm.

[pyrephox]

I am now the proud (and extremely grateful) owner of the main Exalted book, so that I can make a character for a happy happy variant game. I've read through most of the player-oriented stuff, and it seems like a fun system (although White Wolf /still/ makes me twitch, just on general principles). I've even got a preliminary sheet written up for my character, although it's just stats and stuff...the background and so forth will come after I've got the details hammered out. Already, a fair amount is starting to percolate in my mind: my little combat monkey is a bit more clueful and social than I originally gave him credit for. Not much, perhaps, but still. I'm a little sad that getting Backgrounds appropriate to the character took up many of my freebies, but hey. He's nobility, and thus must be statted out as such.

He'll do, though. Oh, yes, he'll do. As long as no one gets his guns out of his hands, he'll do just fine.

*chuckles* I suck at combat scenes, totally, and I fear I'd be even worse in face-to-face than in text. Which is why I always play geeks characters who don't fight.

Although, someone once said I did a good scene playing a hobbit fighting an Orc two or three times her size. But, it was a silly scene..

I'm curious, what don't you like about White Wolf? I like it quite a bit, except for the fact that they keep coming out with new books each year or so that render all the old ones obsolete. One nice thing about IN is you can cover the system adequately without spending oodles of money.
