Welcome!
This is the Wiki for a demo game of Exalted running near MIT.
You play an incandescent demigod busting out cosmic kung-fu on soul-sucking elves from beyond the edge of a flat world while the vengeful ghosts of your predecessors gnaw at the underpinnings of reality, an empire of elementally-empowered supersoldiers are gunning for your hide while backstabbing each other, and critters that make C'thulhu look like Hello Kitty try to break back into the world so they can torture it. ---Eric Brennan

Exalted Web site
Root: http://www.exaltedcompendium.com/ Electronic Character Sheets: http://www.exaltedcompendium.com/section.php?sec=1&article;=24 There's a neat character generator at http://www.edexalted.com/ . I've found it simplifies things *if* you alrready understand the system and what Charms you want --- otherwise it's a bit overwhelming. Even so, it is good for tracking character advancement, since it deals with XP as well as starting characters.

Die Roller: program customized for this rule set. It requires GTK to compile, so it'll work just fine on modern Linux and Unix systems, but is unlikely to work on Windows or older Macs. I've now written a Mac version. GM's Die Roller: I'm learning Ruby, so I'm writing a little interactive suite of die rollers with support for cascades, attacks and defenses, and so on. Pick up a copy at RubyDiceSuite.
I'm thinking about starting up an Exalted game again, probably set directly before the InvisibleFortress? game.
- The existing Lunars book ignores what I'd hoped to see emphasized, so I'm trying to organize a bit of work on a new Lunar supplement.
ThornsLexicon With thanks to Neel Krishnaswami for the rules, a look at the city of Thorns just before its sack MapComparison A map showing the contiguous United States and Creation in proportion to one another.
There was an OlderGame that ran here once.
