For anyone so inclined, I just posted a thing to my blog where I built an Exalted: Essence character for the heck of it. http://mythicfoxwrites.blogspot.com/2023/10/building-character-exalted-essence.html
I'm rereading Abyssals 1e and their sections of Essence.
Good goddamn are they one of the coolest White Wolf factions ever.
Hello Exalted Essentials, Welcome to 2023 and our first update of this year. While I don't have any big announcement for this update - and I don't have an ETA when the PDF will be ready for distribution - I have been paying attention to the weekly updates from Onyx Path and it looks like there should be a rough PDF for Exalted Essence by the end of the month. Now, that's just one of the big stages before it's ready to come to us. There are multiple rounds of reviews, approvals, and proofing that happen before we get our digital download codes, but I'm always so excited when something *exists* even if it's not yet ready for our eyes. If nothing else, it means we get to see all of this Essence artwork that keeps sneaking out while the book is finishing up! I'll continue to keep tabs on the project, and the moment I have something to share, you can be an update will go out. Can't wait for this one! DRAFT MANUSCRIPT LINK I'm gonna start posting a link back to the draft manuscript in these updates because it's been a while and folks are starting to misplace any downloaded copies. I'll keep this bit here in future updates until our backer PDF goes out. Backers Only Draft Manuscript Links The Onyx Path Exalted Forums Are Back! After breaking under the strain of awesome threads, the Onyx Path team have re-vamped, repaired, and re-organized their forums. They work again! Feel free to drop by the Onyx Path Forums or any of the Exalted-specific forums (and note that each type now has their own sub-forum as well!) REWARDS STILL PENDING Even as our main book works through the first steps of production, many of our Stretch Goal rewards are also advancing. Pillars of Creation, the Essence Companion, is now in editing. There's also been a ton of progress on the novellas. "Damned Lies" has been retitlted Scoundrelsong as the final draft of the manuscript was turned in, and has now moved into development. We also have a title on the third novella now, Murder in Whitehall. Anyway, progress continues, though the focus is absolutely on getting the back PDF ready for us.
