Hey, gang. I’m back from vacation, all bright tailed and bushy eyed, with another installment of Chambers of Love. Has it already been a year I’ve been doing these columns? Appropriately enough given the title of my column and that it’s the anniversary of my original Valentine’s Day entry, this week we’re going to talk about love and romance in ( Read more... )

Some people say that gamers are inherently conservative. Others say that people are inherently conservative, and gamers are just a subset thereof. Now, this isn't talk about politics, mind: it's a discussion of that big mess of psychology that deals with how we approach things we ran into at a formative stage and stuff that changes the material of ( Read more... )

Late late, like a white rabbit holding a watch. Things happen, don't they? Quite a lot of that around here of late... but eh, that's hardly newsworthy.

So, the holidays are upon us, and with them comes the holiday crunch. There’s a lot of stuff to be wrapped up before the Exalted team can head out to spend time with their families this year, so I decided to give you folk a holiday gift that’s more visual than textual this week. In other words, because you’ve all been good boys and girls, you get ( Read more... )

I have probably talked before about how opinions tend to be pretty split on things like in-character narration or fiction being treated as part of the actual "supplement" material of a supplement, rather than just flavor. Back in the days of the oWoD, many a book was written largely from an in-character perspective. The idea was that you would get ( Read more... )

Howdy, guys and gals. It’s been a while since the last State of Creation column, so I thought it was time to give you all an update on what’s happening and a preview of what’s coming down the pike for Exalted, and for Scion as well.

First off, Scroll of Fallen Races is in the warehouse, so that should be in stores for the holidays for all your ( Read more... )
