>>>I remember when White Wolf games (to name names) used to have list the books they were inspired by, like "The Haunting," "Something Wicked This Way Comes," "Farenheight 451," etc... Exalted's list? Ninja Scroll, Final Fantasy 7, Streetfighter, Grave of the Fireflies (where the hell does this come in, anyhow? All the other ones are kung fu flicks), Ninja Scroll,etc. <<<

Not to object here, but in the interests of a fair portrayal of the content, that is the "Videos and Movies" and "Other Media" section of the recommended resources. You might mention it also recommends Tanith Lee's _Night's Master_, Sean Stewart's "Flood" books, Gene Wolfe's "Book of the New Sun", Lord Dunsany's Pegana, _The Histories_ of Herodotus and the _Volsungasaga_. It's not like there was a sudden lack of emphasis on literary matters, it's just that I recommended kung-fu anime in a game of anime-style kung fu. Grave of the Fireflies is included to highlight the often gritty nature of the mileu that Exalted depicts.
