BACK TO WORK!
I am now 95% healthy and currently back at work. I am happy to be back here because it means I am not cooped up in the condo and I am not hacking up a lung every 5 minutes.
Last night I was reading over the Sidereal book. I have to say, I wish we played Exalted more, and I wish my players knew more about Exalted and were in to it more. I think it would make some of the more subtle things about the game more meaningful for them. Like having a chance encounter with a Sidereal wouldn’t just be “Mob X” to them. They have already met a Sidereal once, although they never knew it, which was fine. It was one of those little things where if they did “X” then more would be revealed, however that’s not the path they took.
Anyhow I read over the Sids book before going to bed and I ended up dreaming about being a Sidereal. It was pretty cool, but it was more about guiding other young sidereals to the Gold Faction then it was about kicking ass.
So this weekend I won $80. I want to buy something with it that I normally wouldn’t buy myself but I am not sure what. I wish “Weapons of the Gods” was already out, I would buy that. Or maybe I will get Nobilis… although both of those are games that my gaming group would never play. Hmm we are talking about D&D in a way that we share the responsibility of DMing. Sounds interesting but the suggestion was for doing this in Ebberon, which none of us own. I could buy that. Its just that my interest in Ebberon isn’t so strong that I would every buy it unless I KNEW for a fact that we were going to play it. It isn’t one of those settings that I would buy just to read.
It’s Valentines Day today. With me just getting over a cold and my wife fighting mine off, coupled with our need to not spend a lot of money because of the house, we are just exchanging cards tonight. Although once we are both healthy we are going to go on a date of some sort. I love the fact that my wife and I after 10 years of marriage still date.

Hey, I didn't know there was anyone out there doing Exalted on such a serious level. I'm just getting into the game and love the potential for so much more than an over-the-top kung fu game (though that aspect is attractive at times). I found your blog by googling for Exalted and I love your maps as a GM reference. I'm wondering if you know a good place for me to find such quality maps for the players that doesn't have all of the locations on it?
And the fact that you and your wife still date after ten years rocks. Gives the rest of us hope that marriage still means something. Keep on keeping on.
