In regards to superhero RPGs/MMOs etc in general, but DCUO in particular - it's disturbingly easy to imagine some members of the Legion
of Doom bashing down the door to a hero's HQ, leveling their weapons or
powers or whatever at them, then calmly intoning, "We're on a mission
from Grodd".

Hold on a sec, I hear someone at the door...

After all, that's tyying up people who should be attacking the enemy...

Postnuptial Disagreements:  Another Sekirei/Nasuverse crossover, featuring the son of Kayneth and Sola-Ui from Fate/Zero.  It's dark and bloody with a first-person protagonist who is arrogant, bigoted, and wants to be a magnificant bastard but doesn't have the experience to pull it off properly.  It also has lots of character development as the protagonist shows signs of growing beyond this.

Katie Douglas is an even bigger Woobie then ever before. When she helped Steph break into the Eternal Prison, she made her Pinky Swear not to leave her behind.

Dear Devs, can we please take her back to Primal Earth where she'll be safe and no one will ever hurt her ever again? Please?

So between a combination of GreggHL's Glorious Shotgun Princess and the demo of Asura's Wrath I was inspired to dig out the copy of Exalted 2e I picked up a few years ago. Despite the inherant awesomness of the game, I never got around to doing anything with it, in part because my group was slightly intimidated by the complexity of the combat system as compared to d20 stuff. However, due to my PnP gaming group being on hiatus due to Baby, we were discussing the possiblity of doing some play by post gaming to get our fix in. I volunteered to look into it, and thought that the slower pace of online gaming might be a great time to give Exalted a shot.
I was wondering if anyone who had played Exalted before had any advice to give about what books other than the Core rules would be worth picking up. Is there anything like a Monstrous Manual to be had, or am I stuck stating out each encounter by hand? Alternatly, a premade adventure would also work.
Also, any suggestions for a good place to run a small Play by post group? I'm currently of using Yahoo! Groups.

I'm rereading this part in anticipation to the epilogue, and found something that might be an issue.
"The first person I spotted was Captain Turquoise (now in civvies, too), who looked distinctly uncomfortable in seiza on the far side of the table from the door (and, thus, me). He was flanked by two new folks, a pair of young women who appeared to be in their twenties and who occupied almost all of his attention. Hm. More mortal auxiliaries. They must have shown up while I was in the bath, I mused. I raised an eyebrow when I realized one was a cop of some variety, in full uniform. The other looked more like Buffy Coed." -chapter 1
I always took this that Rachel would fit in Sunnydale High, and not that she was particularly buff (as in muscled).
Now, the fact is that part XIII is actual Buffy, and the part above is written from Doug's point of view. It would somehow imply that he knows a least a bit of the buffy story.
Would that be an issue ?
