+==== Goals ====
+  * **High Adventure**: You are nearly a demi-god.  The peons around you shackle you to mediocrity.  Your destiny is great things.  You must embrace it!
+  * **Fast Paced**:  Don't overplan things.  Pick a direction and charge with gusto.  If you try and things don't work out perfectly, you'll have an interesting story, if it does, well, thats great!
+  * **Character Driven**:  You are exalted above your peers.  Act like it.  You can theoretically accomplish anything if you try hard enough.  Impose your will on the world and make it your own.
+  * **Action Packed**: I'm aiming for one or more combats or other action scenes per session.
+==== Driving Concepts ====
+  * **Rule of Things that Look Dangerous**: If in doubt, do something.  If an opponent is sufficiently dangerous to give pause, he/she/it should make it obvious by the way I describe it.
+  * **Rule of You Shall Know Me By My Name**: Exalted names contain meaning.  If a name sounds scary, it probably is.  If it sounds sneaky, it probably is.
+  * **Rule of Expectation**: If you adhere to the preceding rules, you are expected to win (assuming you meet the combat guidelines). Act like it.
+  * **Rule of This **: [[:empress:trapmaster.jpg|This]] and [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0271.html|This]]
