It's here. The Circle has backed The Economy into a corner, and now is the time to take down this monster before he eats the entire Direction. Aided with a special guest star, the other half of the Monster Mates podcast, our heroes engage the Hearteater in a desperate battle deep in the Dreaming Sea. It's a hell of a fight!
Aura and Nue do their tag team signature technique: the Solar/Lunar mount gambit! Lythander uses the Gaol to its full potential! Perhaps TOO MUCH of its full potential! Gavel has to face her ultimate weakness: the power of love! A sick multi-stage counter-counter-counter attack occurs! And the Economy arc, one way or another, comes to a head! Don't miss it!
(Content Warning: Body Horror throughout, Self-Harm (3:01:36-3:01:49))
This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset hot off the Kickstarter presses! If you're interested, you can pre-order it here and check out the pre-release draft now!

At some point, casualties were inevitable. As our heroes flee the fearsome assassin Pockets, JK unlocks a potent new ability: Canned Heat's true power, [Virtual Insanity] has revealed itself. Against the terrifying Stand Users they encounter in Salem, it just might be what the gang needs to come out in one piece.
Tyson embraces his calling as a mascot platformer character! Dan almost has a sheer heart attack (no, not that one!)! JK takes us to the movies! The guy we saved from last time is totally an ungrateful jerk! We finally have a 3v3 Stand Battle! And the endgame of the Red Giant's Ladder becomes clear, at long last!

The Economy is dealt with. But, well, the Circle weren't the ones to get the final blow. The missing Dawn is here...as a Dusk caste, who is very much intent on causing further problems to replace the one he just punched to death. With only Aura's truce field standing between them and a terrifying force of destruction buffed by the post-Exaltation rush, the gang has to get creative to avoid sharing the Hearteater's fate.
In doing so, Aura is pushed to the limits of her patience talking to this guy. But is he really the biggest threat here? Gavel debates taking on a major infrastructure project! Lythander has to make an important choice for sharing Artifact custody with! And the Gaol's pocket space is stretched to its absolute limits by both the Dusk's prowess and the mightiest specters of the Underworld beside him! It's a harrowing beginning to our new arc today!

Our heroes faced their biggest challenge yet: a lost episode due to multiple technical failures for half the cast! Luckily, a reconstruction still covers the major beats of the gang's trip to Boston as they reach the upper rungs of the Red Giant's Ladder. JK pulls off some incredibly clever Stand schemes, Tyson learns a horrifying truth about the true nature of Linkin Park, and Dan shoots a man many times with unexpected effects! And that's just the recap of lost material, there's ANOTHER FULL EPISODE 35 minutes in!
It's the main event. Finally, the gang comes face to face with Theo and Sofia, at the top of the Red Giant's Ladder. And...no matter how prepared they thought they were coming into this, nothing could prepare them for how the cards fall down. Stand Battles? Yes, those happen, but now is when the truth of the cost of Sofia's schemes come to light. Along with the true identity of the god she so desperately wants to resurrect.
Content warning: Suicidal ideation - 3:05:28 - 3:09:00
JK finally unlocks Epsilon's puzzle box, and just in time, the gang needs every bit of power they can muster against Sofia. Tyson finally confronts the woman who kidnapped his children, and witnesses the terrifying power of her Stand. And Dan has a vital role to play in a critical moment, in the midst of an ultimate attack that has dire implications for...well, everyone. Look up. The sky's coming down.

The Champoor Jellyfish War is won. And now, our heroes finally have a chance to rest. In...Champoor's Underworld mirror. After it has been wrecked by the Deathlord that annihilated it just by walking too closely. Never mind. Taking shelter with Lythander's mentor Seven Obsidian Leopard, the gang fall face first into a tense debate over the spoils of war, and quickly discover that their troubles are far from over with the Hearteater's remains in tow.
Gavel finally finds a line even she won't cross in anti-imperialist warfare! Lythander gets a necromancy exam and decides to mess with the Economy's ghost! In the most shocking moment of the campaign thus far, Aura doesn't make a contract with someone! We finally find out what's up with Nue, and it turns out she's as much a disaster demigod as everyone else here! And, after a very uncomfortable rest, the gang meets a new friend on the beach and decides to crush some Fair Folk heads! But what are those heads going to be used for, exactly? Time will tell!
This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset! If you're interested, you can buy it now, right off the Drivethrurpg site!

It's been an eventful 48 hours for everyone. But now it's here. In the aftermath of the confrontation with Sofia, an apocalypse looms over the entire planet. Our trio of Stand Users take to the skies and desperately throw out plan after plan to save the world. Both from the incoming extinction event meteors...and whoever sponsored Sofia's ambitions in the first place.
On the finale of the first cour of Tomb of the Red Giant, Tyson struggles to push Linkin Park to its absolute limits to solve the meteorites problem with a certain solution involving spinning. A startling secret about Dan comes to light. JK makes use of Virtual Insanity's physics hacking to great aplomb. And a new enemy rears its head, that turns the entirety of Stand power on its head. This is the end of this arc, and we do go out with a bang! Many, many massive bangs!

The Circle moves on the Fair Folk Freehold adrift in the Dreaming Sea, and...well, it's not what they expected. Or, well, what anyone expected: turns out faeries can work off the cuff to keep things "interesting" on their home turf. But they aren't the only concerns the gang now faces: the enigmatic Mind-Over-Body Orator appears with his own agenda. One that Aura has some pointed objections to.
Lythander's overlooking of a prior deal comes back to haunt him, and he is forced to pay back with interest. Gavel learns a lot about urban infrastructure from a highly reliable source: Hell itself. Nue breaks several world swimming records all at once! The faeries go for some really lowbrow comedy! And Spider is still here! Much to everyone's chagrin!

Gather around, you are cordially invited to the feast and fated nemesis confrontation (?) between Gavel of the Daedi and the raksha The Antagonist! But like with any political salon in Creation, the backroom politics and true intent of this cheery banquet are far more complex and sinister than they seem.
Lythander has to examine the most mysterious face and persona of all those in his repertoire: his own! Aura's (and her player's) hopes and dreams are twisted in the worst possible way during this social showdown! Gavel gets into massive drama at the proverbial altar! The players ambush the GM with more Wyld mapmaking shenanigans! And, no matter where the cards may fall, all classical comedies end in a wedding: to whom, however? You'll have to listen to this episode to find out!

The winds of change are blowing across all Arden Eld. The Green Age, a period of healing from the excesses and evils of the Arken empire, has come to an end as ancient machines and ruins spring up all over the land. As countless polities and factions grapple for control of lost technology and ancient magics of old, the world reaches a fork in the road of history. What is next: a new golden age, or ruin far worse than anything prior empires could hope to imagine?
In a quiet village outside a coastal port town, three adventurers find themselves swept up in the troubles of small town life and losttech scavenging alike. Zaffir, an experienced blacksmith wrestler, braves trying MMO dailies and breaks a lot of things around town better left intact. Andrealphus, a grizzled gun for hire, navigates a sketchy bazaar and gets into a barfight with dire consequences. Mantrax, a bright young inventor wizard, makes an explosive first impression and revolutionizes local plumbing. And beyond all this, the Arken ruins await, as competing gangs and armies vie to claim their treasures. Against them stand...the Ruin Runners.
This is an Actual Play of ICON, via its pre-release 1.5 version. You can check it out here, for free!

Now that the prior tenants have been evicted, Gavel and company are free to reshape the Wyld Pocket and give the Daedi a new home. Not that the Wyld will make it easy for them: it won't just let anyone make an island dream home without a fight! Especially with outside forces of terrifying power on the periphery...
Aura befriends a strange new behemoth that appears in the most unexpected place possible! Lythander gets into a staredown with ANOTHER horrifyingly powerful ghost and receives a special delivery! Gavel confronts multiple Sidereals and has the most dramatic battle of all: heartfelt philosophical combat! With a special guest appearance from one of the mightiest of all the gods on a sightseeing tour! And more drawings as the other players-sorry, the Wyld continues to mess with my maps!
