I continue my exaltedposting. Here is Hope for a Universal Summer, my Zenith Solar lady. She's from Whitewall, so I tried to include both asian and slavic elements in her design.

And something like Modern AU! Quartz, my Dusk Abyssal OC, whom you might've seen in my last, like, three posts. Only I have troubles designing modern characters in interesting ways, but oh well. I still like this pic :]

To those who miss the days of Web 1.0 cringe, when personal webpages were personal and not quite so polished... https://neocities.org/browse (I have a page on here, mostly for building/testing toy ideas and generators that don't need fancy backend support)

Malefactoria Ultima, a fan atlas for Villains in Fabula Ultima

I got possessed by a muse a few days ago, which led me to hammering out a fan atlas for making more intimidating and memorable Villains in Fabula Ultima https://drive.google.com/file/d/19JmbjVbroy6l1leT1ifo_ZEoJ9pKswZo/view?usp=sharing (The big thing are Villain Arts, which give more ways to spend Ultima Points; RAW, they're only used for rerolls, regaining MP and clearing statuses, and escaping. Which aren't *bad* but also aren't fitting or useful for every Villain)

Have you played EXALTED ?

By Robert Hatch, Justin Achilli, Stephan Wieck, Andrew Bates, Dana Habecker, Sheri M. Johnson, Chris McDonough, and Richard Thomas

Exalted is a game of epic fantasy set during the Second Age of Man, a time before our own. It is an age of magic and adventure, when heroes of legend are reborn into a time of woe.

At the dawn of the First Age, the gods gave power to men that they might slay the gods' Primordial enemies. Anointed by the gods, these beings were thereafter known as the Exalted.

The greatest of the Exalted were the Solars, the Chosen of the Unconquered Sun, the mightiest of the gods. So great was their power that, when a Solar died, his power was quickly made manifest in a new individual - a reincarnation of sorts, but into a mature adult rather than a newborn.

The Exalted triumphed over the enemies of the gods, and in reward, the gods gave the Exalted dominion over the Earth. For a timeless age, the Exalted ruled justly over Creation, and their kingdom was invincible.

But the enemies of the gods had pronounced a terrible curse against the Exalted. This dark magic ate away at the hearts of the Chosen. The benevolence of the Solars turned to tyranny, and peace turned to civil war. It was prophesied that the madness of the Solars would bring about the destruction of the world. Seeing no other alternative, the lowliest of Exalted, the Dragon-Blooded, murdered the decadent Solar Exalted and locked their souls away.

And so, a Second Age descended upon Creation.

The greatest of the gods' servants no longer walked the earth, and the Realm of the Dragon-Blooded was but a shadow of the lost old Realm. Solar Exalted whose power escaped to be reborn were slain by Dragon-Blooded inquisitors known as the Wyld Hunt, and the Realm claimed dominion over Creation. For more than a thousand years the Solar Exalted remained imprisoned and defeated - until now.

The Scarlet Empress, the Dragon-Blooded ruler of the Realm and controller of the Wyld Hunt, vanished five years ago. Without her might to enforce order in the Realm, the Great Houses of her Scarlet Dynasty have fallen to squabbling over the reins of power. And in this time of crisis, the Solar Exalted have returned. It is as if a gate was opened and the heroes of old rushed through it and returned to the world.

Your character is among those individuals who have become Solar Exalted. You are a being of legend, as mighty as a demigod and as cunning as an asp. Will you be the savior of Creation or one of the terrible menaces that beset your world?

No but seriously sometimes I feel like I'm an alien trying to communicate concepts like gleeblor to humans the way people sometimes react when I say things that are self-evident to me. Like since the whole discussion about how modern D&D basically has an ethos of Encounters being something that are crafted beforehand and specifically with party level being taken into consideration, there have been some incredulous reactions like "But like if there's no Encounters then what even happens in the game? You have to design Encounters because otherwise there's nothing? And if you don't take party level into account while designing those Encounters then how will they beat it? Hello? What is gleeblor?!"
