BlackFlame/FirstGame

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.

The story so far...

Meetings
The Fortress
The Voyage West
Of Abyssals and Shadowlands

The Future

My Notes - This will be my notepad for future story ideas. My players should NOT look here. Seriously...it will just ruin the surprise.

The Setting

Vvardenfell - My take on Exalting Vvardenfell from Elder Scrolls III. I like it.

Comments

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
