So, yesterday I found this: Exalted vs. the World of Darkness.
Back at Penn, when I visiting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greyselke over the summer, we passed Pandemonium Books while out and about and, after going in, I happened to find the Exalted 1e corebook. After having seen the buzz for months over this ad that appeared in several White Wolf books:
( Before... )
...I bought it immediately.
Exalted ended up being my favorite RPG of all time and I ran a years-long game of it, and another game that was heavily inspired by it and used the same system. But, that initial promise never really came through. Other than some easter eggs and a few thematic connections, the "prequel to the World of Darkness" element was dropped completely.
Well, cue this supplement. What if the Sidereals tried to convince the Solars of their iniquity and started a war, but it didn't destroy the world as they feared? What if the godsparks of the Celestial Exalted were sealed away, the world was wrapped around itself and folded away from the Wyld, the gods shattered, and everything became lesser, with only a few scattered families of Dragon-Blooded remaining in a world of vampires, werewolves, mages, ghosts, and changelings? And then what if the Celestial Exalted returned all the traditional World of Darkness groups had to deal with it?
Though admittedly, my first thought was use this to run my ridiculous Mass Exalt Mass Effect/Exalted crossover idea from a couple years ago. Storyteller system isn't mechanically amazing, but it's probably better at doing non-transhumanist sci fi than Exalted's system is. I haven't been super excited about tabletop gaming in a while other than the Call of Cthulhu game I'm in, hence the lack of anything under most of the tags used here, but I'm getting excited about this.
Maybe it's time to break out the dice again.
