Does anyone have a Newbie's Guide to Exalted that they'd recommend? I've tried "The Google" and "Reading the Damn Book" with some success but I figured I'd also ask those much more knowledgeable than myself if they had any good advice.
background of why I'm asking, skip if you like:
-----
I've keep reading posts on the forums about the game so I thought I'd buy the book and give it a try. I'm familiar with the old and new WoD and have read some of the rules but no one in either of my gaming groups has played Exalted.
My track record for these sort of games seems to go:
1. think I understand the rules and how the game works
2. make a character thinking I know what I'm doing
3. play said character
4. realize I have no idea how to make a character or how anything works
5. repeat most of the process now that I have a grasp on the system
I'd like to shortcut some of that. I'm not trying to create the most uber character, but I would like to have the knowledge to successfully develop and implement a concept for the game.
