How wide is the concept of "you"?

Eh, I dunno. It could work - consider something that possesses a house and turns the place into a sanctum of nightmares, slowly devouring people within and making it full of impossible geometries, etc. There are more than enough evil demonic houses in fiction that do that that it's valid.

something something minotaur something something

Honestly, if you were going to do that reference, you shouldn't outright make it obviously exist. Like, part of the point is that the minotaur is never seen, and there's, like, five seconds of footage that could be a shadow minotaur snuffing out the lights, or could be absolutely nothing.
I'm not sure how you'd turn it into a demon without giving it a definiteness that doesn't necessarily exist.
It'd almost be better as one of those fake-medieval tomes that ES/Aleph did. Like, someone describing without describing the minotaur with a hint that, possibly, it doesn't even exist and it's paranoia and madness of the few people who managed to escape the Labyrinth alive.
You know what'd make a good story for some sort of supernatural being? Caver Ted. Or whatever it was called, because there was something special about that story. It worked.

Yes, of course.
(Btw, I can say that I'm one of a small number of people in the entire world who wrote an academic literary-criticism paper on House of Leaves.)

See, I was JUST thinking that up.
What about the Kid from I Wanna Be The Guy? Running through that game actually would justify the 'everything is out to kill me' paranoia.
Fucking cherries...

Have any of you guys used Icewalkers in your games?
I remember reading something awhile where SLS was discussing how they're not actually just supposed to be white nordic guys, but a mixture of those, mongolians and with japanese names. I'm trying to find that post while mulling over Icewalker names.
As an aside, were any tribes of them ever detailed?

Yup, used the Bull's Icewalkers in a Northern game once, where they were one of the 'big players' (albeit one that lacked grounding and were mostly running on inertia and momentum from their victory against House Tepet).
It was pretty fun.
That is to say that the players had fun, the Icewalkers really didn't have fun because the field of Exalted Warfare is only one that is fun for the Exalted themselves.

The corebook.
EDIT: But seriously though, the 1e corebook combined with Games of Divinity and Scavenger Sons are all pretty good.

Just so you know....The corebook.

Actually, I can't tell you. I'll get banned again. But anyway, drivethrurrpg lets you buy it. If you have money, that is.

Well, they're pretty cheap anyways.
For a lot of the quests hosted here or on SB the 1d4 chan summary is adequate for a basis if you don't want the books at all. Though are there any particular points where you're struggling?

To be honest, how important is edition 1?
What do you mean by important? The reason people suggest specific first edition resources is because those specific ones are usually considered very good.

Must I read them to get a feel for the setting? I just downloaded castbook: Zenith.

It's arguably the last time that the setting has recognizably had a vision of what the hell it wanted to do with itself.

So 2nd and 3rd edition were all confusing?
