This book is all you need to play this game... I have yet to play, but have begun player creation and will be the storyteller for a few sessions...I would prefer that this book be better organized. Otherwise I appreciate the over the top gameplay it provides.It is also rich in history of the world; there are plenty of supplementary books for storytellers and players alike. It provides plenty of fuel for the imagination.It is not the best of its kind. It is a healthy alternative to others of its kind.Note to the Storyteller: Exalted are Uber powerful. You must be prepared for this. You will bore your players otherwise.later.
