About the adventure
I've been backing exalted essence since the kickstarter, and I like what I've seen so far, but I want to try it. Come with me as we try this new simpler form of exalted. One of the fun things about essence is that you can be any of the exalt types: solar, lunar, dragon-blooded, sidereal, alchemical, infernal, abyssal, etc. Let's kick the tires and look under the hood together.

Creating your character
We have a session zero for character creation, but if you want to get started beforehand, I'll certainly allow it and try to review before the session zero to respect everyone's time.
The Mansion on 12 Carnelian Peaches in Cinnabar district, in Nexus, does not look unusual, although it is well appointed, with lush gardens on its top level, and spacious, high-ceilinged rooms. Within, the Nadir Infernal, Stelsor, and the Jade Alchemical, Fortifier-of-hearts-and-bones, have been there longest. Their staff directed by Stelsor to charity causes, civic improvement, or criminal-assisted enterprises, as the whim strikes him, while Fortifier is more focused on charity, but also involved into a Mortal cult of Autochton he founded with other Alchemicals not that long ago. They also have a long-running program to promote movable type printing. The Solar Twilight, Dreamflower and her minor tea god familiar, Chalai, study mystical forces within the city, and liaise with various deities and spirit courts, finding meaning in the Spirit's many plots, opposing ghosts and spectres.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I need to know which of the players are even remotely familiar with Essence, and which ones have vs which ones need, a copy of the pdf. Session zero will also serve as a primer on the setting, and allow us to choose collaboratively, where the adventure will take place.

How Eric Robibaro creates a safe table
I'm exploring the system, I'm relatively new to exalted, but not to RPGs, I'm hoping to do a light intro to a new system, and help everyone get familiar.
