I'm looking to possibly run an introductory session of Exalted for a local club, for people new to Exalted but not roleplaying in general. Having dispensed with my original thought of martial artists finding their lost sifu (too many similar characters, too much combat), I've been looking around for ideas.
The Exalted Quickstart Tomb of Dreams feels like a solid start, but is it short enough for a one-shot? It feels like the it would be asking a lot to get in two to three combat sessions into a three hour gaming session for people new to the setting and the system. What's the experience of people who have played it?
Failing that, I'm curious for ideas. I've seen a "Seven Samurai" setup suggested for Solars - defend a village against encroaching foes in a variety of ways. Possibly a way of showcasing the various different styles of play, depending on what characters get chosen.
Possibly also running as Dragon-Blooded, hunting down a renegade Hundred Gods Heresy cult.
Any and all ideas would be helpful, as well as Tomb of Dreams specifically.
