Isolated Continent: This is an idea I have been wanting to put to paper for some time. Its a Lunar and Dragon-Blooded only game, with far more limited numbers of said Exalted. The Lunars are Druid like characters, and the D-B's are envoys from the nearest continent. There are currently three "Kingdoms" on the continent, who have been engaged in ceaseless warfare for centuries. Im thinking of making it a rather stagnant place, were people hold to old traditions out of stubbornness and contempt for new religions. The D-B's are envoys of a thriving Empire who have reached the continent after months at sea, and now have no way of contacting their Empire. However, they are committed to bringing this backwater under their sway and have gained a great deal of influence since they have arrived. Its a rather depressing setting unfortunately, but when a finally lay it out in full Im sure it will be more enjoyable.


New World With No Exalts: Sorry for the lame name. This idea was sparked by Shataina's No Exalted setting, but instead is set in an entirely new world. Also, despite the no Exalt thing, its still very much a heroic setting, were the characters will likely be powerful Thaumaturgy’s or God-Bloods. I have not done much work on this one, but I have put together a little info on the setting. The World has seven continents and is approximately the same size as earth. There are three current world powers, each inhabiting two continents. The final continent is the largest and richest in resources, but also has an extremely variable landscape and is not particularly suited for colonization. It is also home to several supernatural races, even fewer of which of benevolent. This continent is something of a myth amongst most of the world and is viewed as a holy place buy not a few cultures. Although this continent is the crux of the game, even PC's will have a hard time surviving there, and it is intended as something of an end game adventure. More information coming soon.


"The quiet religious guy who ends up going crazy." Well, not so quiet. This land has the benefit of being directed by it eternal living prophet and is the most expansionist of the three powers. It prophet is a master alchemist and manipulator, who is still at the peak of pyshical fitness at nearly 200 years of age. He preaches a dogma indulgence and gratification, claiming that each whim satisfied brings one closer to the gods, who live eternally in perfect and blissful excess. However, the greater ones ability to satisfy these whims, the more respect one if accorded. As such, the wealthy are innately superior to the poor, and the faith is the perfect carrot hovering over the head of the populace. As such, most peasants are highly motivated individuals, who despite their vices, are greatly productive, ever striving to attain enlightenment through wealth. More to come soon. (Sorry about the lack of names)
