Brantai has a sickness, and it's game design. Not terribly long ago, he started on a project to convert AD&D Dragonlance to Burning Wheel and ended up doing a full overhaul of the setting into a comprehensive '2.5' system.
He doesn't even like AD&D, people.
Diseased as it was, it was impressive. And now he's working on mashing Exalted and NWoD cosmology for his own devices* if he wants, he'll post it on his journal, and then I'll edit mine to taste, but as of now, it's just the Arcadian Exalts. This is his project, but I'm looking in on it frequently. He's got a bug, ladies and gentlemen, but it's an interesting one. I'm personally impressed by the mechanics.
And I'm running Exalted again this weekend, finally. I've held out long enough, and now I'm excited about it, so it's a good time to get going. It's the game where, pardon me Brent but you knew about this anyway, one character is apt to be held upside down, one will likely discover who she was supposed to be isn't who she is today, and another is the pawn of a previous incarnation who primarily enjoys complicated boardgames at the edge of existance and nothing.
Today wasn't as productive as it could of been, but I can still knock some goals off the list of things to accomplish. My finances are clear, my move in date is set, most of my things are packed, I neither gibber nor panic, and I've both leveled Thief to 15 in FFXI (and aquired Treasure Hunter and Sneak Attack) and finished Night Watch, the last of a stack of loaned books.
I'm feeling good, healthy, and creative, which is a good mix.
* said devices include 'nothing' and 'sitting on a wiki page regardless of how playable it is'.
