Since I'm new to the this Exalted thing, my first Chronicle is pretty vanilla as the 2ed book puts it.  I set in in Vvardenfell from Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind so that we can start playing without having to come up with a lot of background info and I could focus on learning/teaching the rules.  Also, because of this I used some story lines from the comics between chapters at first.  I think it works.  I also plan to use some things from the Wiki, giving credit where credit is due of course.

Right now I don't have anything too epic in mind, I'm more than willing to let the characters steer me where they want to go.  I would like to hit the places in Creation that I think are cool, but I don't think its up to me.  I also plan to run a few sessions with the "minor" characters while the Heroes are having downtime or just for some variety.

Very interesting story you've got there, i wonder where you got it from? on a more serious note you have some cool stuff going on here, with what seems like better (or at least less annoying) players than I have. Also, your not seriously going to put them up against a deathlord are you? Anyway, it seems you have the knack for storytelling, which is a very useful talent. - [[Blig001]]

:Hehheh, yea, at the beginning I was focused on learning/teaching the rules so I totally stole plotlines.  I admit it, I'm not ashamed, heh.  Anyway, thanks for the praise.  And about the deathlord, who knows what the future will hold...but probably not...things will be more clear when I get the Shadow's info up.  - [[BlackFlame]]

:cool : ) no hard feelings about stealing the plotline, i steal stuff all the time. my new campaign is straight out the Alchemical book (or at least it will be).- [[Blig001]]
 
You should make a minor characters Graveyard with a brief description of their death heh, and a hero's misdeeds section(like releasing demons on the world).-[[Alicrast]]
 

Revision as of 17:41, 18 July 2007

Since I'm new to the this Exalted thing, my first Chronicle is pretty vanilla as the 2ed book puts it. At the beginning I completely rip off Vardenfell from Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind so that we can start playing without having to come up with a lot of background info and I could focus on learning/teaching the rules. Also, because of this I stole story lines from some of the comics between chapters at first. I think it works. I also plan to use some things from the Wiki, giving credit where credit is due of course.

The story so far...

Very interesting story youve got there, i wonder where you got it from? on a more serious note you have some cool stuff going on here, with what seems like better (or at least less annoying) players than I have. Also, your not seriously going to put them up against a deathlord are you? Anyway, it seems you have the knack for storytelling, which is a very useful talent. - Blig001
