The Fall of Jiara Dragon Blooded Actual Play by The Story Told

[JohnDoe244]

Just caught up with this. So intrigued!

Sidenote:

Pronouncing Mnemon.

I've always said it like "mnemonic".

The High Realm transliteration is:

MeNe
Mo
N(o)

(Or, possibly, "Mne Mo N", which I think is closer to my "mnemonic").

"Nee-mon" is growing on me, the more I listen to this podcast, but where does that even come from?

[ElfSpeaker]

I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

I’m not sure where that comes from but Logan brought it to our table and it’s caught on. I fall into the mnemonic camp with a slight pronunciation of the m in front of the n if left to my own devices.

I forgot to post about it yesterday, but the latest episode of the Fall of Jiara is out: https://thestorytold.libsyn.com/fall-of-jiara-31

The continuing bromance of Kai and Shao is delightful. I especially loved Shao’s back-patting himself for bringing the talky character to the talky scene. Other highlights:
Mara getting her swagger back.
Sarissa busy planning the makeup kit Mk 2 (also, props to Jeremy for the makeup idea, I reacted out loud when he mentioned it last episode), before pausing to reassure Shao that she totally didn’t mean to imply that his work, well, needed work. Also, I think she is the first person to win a social roll vs the Prince?
Sanzo’s continuing insistence that being Hearthmates means the others aren’t allowed to ask questions about where he gets his information.

I love the development of Shao's relationship with just everyone. There's been a lot of great evolution on all fronts there.

I'm glad I was two episodes behind, because together, they both kept me occupied during a 2-hour car trip this weekend. The intro music in the most recent episode made Chazz a little difficult to hear at the beginning but I think that was mainly an issue with listening it on my phone in the car. I just checked it again on my PC with my earbuds in and its much easier to comprehend.

Yeah, that's one of those things that's hard to test. I listen on my bluetooth headset and laptop speakers while I'm editing, but car speakers are always a little different I've found.I'll to to make sure the levels are better in future episodes.

Also, I love watching Shao interact with the other too!

I finally completed the public version of Shao's artifact: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product...hosen-Quanshao

Also, Noah created absolutely amazing art for it.

Still one of my favorite AP out there and the best Exalted AP i know. Just an awesome chemistry between all the players and a ST who knows his shit.
I didn't know you are also an Exalted writer, Chazz! Congrats! On what books did you participate and, if you can/want to tell, what parts of those books?

Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you for the kind words! The group always loves to hear when poeple are enjoying the show.

None of the projects I've worked for are out yet so I can't say much about my sections, but I have written on Many-Faced Strangers and Exalted Essence. I'll be able to talk about both more in detail when they come out and that'll likely be on the other podcast I'm on, The Systematic Understanding of Everything: http://www.exaltcast.com/

You're welcome! I believe in giving honest feedback to people who share their stuff. Normally, when it's mainly positive (or as it was in this case, only positive), I just post it. When it's not, I normally ask first (i admit, not always) if a feedback is wanted.

Which kind of brings me to my next point: Thanks for pointing me towards your other podcast. I do have some strong opinions about that one, though aka some not-just-positive feedback, if you want it.

FoJ 34: Not the usual suspects

The flashback-to-the-training was a fun and efficient innovation. Well done.

[ElfSpeaker]

Thank you for sharing the link.I essentially borrowed the help rules from Storypath with some tweaks to fit better with the way Exalted's dice mechanics work.
