Prompted by a situation at one of his game tables, Decurion, our GM for the Ruby and Fire AP series, posted a small pdf he created, titled "How to Play Exalted" on our discord. He also made the "mistake" of claiming "I can talk for at least 45 minutes on this..." So I took him up on the offer!
While specifically written for Exalted, almost all of this applies to any narratively focused game, regardless of system, and so we chatted about it for a while.Should you want to download, read, etc a copy of this document, you can find it here -- https://docs.google.com/document/d/14fjSZhwmTiv0N-3zAG5oOQuzswN5ScKR9cRBX0dQFmw/edit?usp=drive_link

Between the coughing and general illness recovery both of us are experiencing, we managed a gaming conversation that spanned from the 3 Stooges to the Simpsons to Scooby Doo and Michael Jordan!  A fun little chat around sometimes gaming in a less complicated mental state.
