This is an ESL thing. My native languages do not pronounce Rome with a glide on the O. To me, "Rhone" sounds very different because there is no -e sound in the Danish pronunciation of "Rom" and English lacks the ability to heavily distinguish between "R" and "Rh". I forgot to consider that what might not be on the nose for a Danish-speaker is for an English-speaker because your language is so fucking bizarre in how it pronounces vowels.
You can't fucking stop me.

Which is ironic, considering I'm Italian myself. English has infected my poor brain.

Seems like someone else could do it for them, then.

Actually, I'll put my money where my mouth is on this one. If someone with thread-marking authority agrees to use it, I'll compile all the threadmarks into a short list of link-posts. One per writer.

I swear, one of these days, I'll go through with forcing @EarthScorpion, the cruel demiurge, to compile a god-damn homebrew hub in this thread, so I can free the threadmarks from the shackles of his literal stack of homebrew. 
so never then

Honestly, anyone could do it. It's just one master post with links to everyone's homebrew on it. But that requires effort.

So is that a yes to Sanctaphrax? Cos if he's willing to do it...I swear, one of these days, I'll go through with forcing @EarthScorpion, the cruel demiurge, to compile a god-damn homebrew hub in this thread, so I can free the threadmarks from the shackles of his literal stack of homebrew.

Some of us already have homebrew hubs, I'd really rather just that the people who don't have them yet get them and notify someone with threadmarking authority so we can clean up the threadmarks.
EDIT: On that subject, I have added every piece of homebrew I could find to my homebrew hub and removed them from the threadmarks. This should make it clearer to find, even if I really did want to delete a bunch of it lol.

Seeing as i've only been on here a few months, what do you mean by homebrew hub?
Some of the regular posters in the thread make up a lot of home brew content like custom demons, locations or charms. Rather than have fifty posts that need to be threadmark, for finding purposes you threadmark one post that has links to all the content posts. Much easier to navigate

Calling the Demonic Legion
Price: 40m, Resources 4; Circle: Sapphire; Anchor: Hell-Linked 1+
Target: Followers (Anchor) First Circle Demons
Spell Duration: Indefinite; Casting Duration: See Ritual
Essence Aspect: Non-Necrotic; Favoured Aspect: None
Those who cavort with Hell can throw open the gates to the prison of the demons, and call themselves an army. The Immaculate Order preaches the horrors of the Lunar Anathema and their foul pacts - and many moon-children choose to prove them right. Now the Solars have returned, those shining lords who called on demons will do so again.
Ritual: This spell can only be cast in places where Cecelyne draws close - for example, demenses or manses with a Hellish aspect, places where a demon prince once scarred the landscape, temples of a cult to the Yozis, or within the geomantic twistings the green sun princes inflict on Creation. Exotic ingredients and great sacrifices are needed for the casting process, costing at least Resources 4.
The most common variants of this spell can only be used on the night of the new moon, and take from sunset to midnight (as with Demon of the Second Circle). Some more specialised variants might have shorter casting times - for example, a variant which calls the servants of Gervasin which can only be cast on the anniversary of his love's death (ie, only once a year) might have a casting time of Sapphire.
Mechanics: The Anchor used for this spell must have a connection to Hell. The most common way to do this is through the use of backgrounds such as Ally, Mentor or Pact which represent a personal relationship with a powerful demon. However, other more indirect Anchors can be used - ancient cursed demon-made Artefacts, the soul-gem of a powerful demon, or even a Lineage that represents potent mastery of the arts of demon-summoning.
A Sapphire Circle sorcerer treats her Anchor as being rated no more than 3, regardless of its actual level. However, if an Adamant Circle sorcerer casts this spell, she can use the background's true rating.
Effects: A rift in the world is torn open, spilling silver sand through. Through it marches many lesser demons - providing a Followers background equal in value to the Anchor. This spell does not provide any ability to bind the demons in question, though it does create an appropriate Intimacy towards the sorcerer in the demons as an irresistible Emotion (chosen when the spell is designed).
The demons will fit within a broad category chosen by the sorcerer during casting (such as "for combat" or "to help me build my palace"), or alternatively will be all of a single breed. If the spell is anchored in her relationship with a powerful demon, then it may choose to send a pre-existing group (for example, Octavian lending one of his regiments). Otherwise, the demons are chosen randomly from the serfs of Hell.
Example Spells:
Flight of Nidamento (Pact: Nidamento) - After profane prayers, the demonologist immerses himself in ink. As he rises once again, a red moon is briefly seen in the moonless sky, and a great number of horrid flying things descend, to serve their master's ally.
Chariot of the Gods (Pact: Lei Mei) - After burning the proper strangely looping circles into the ground, a sorcerer might find that their benefactor sends some of her strange, twisted servants riding upon a giant bug. With them, one might reshape the human form and fend off those who would get in the way of their research.
Banner of the Red Rebellion (Artefact: Red Banner 5) (Casting Duration: Sapphire) - Once, there was a blood ape who thought to rise above his station. He beat other gang lords into shape, building a vast army - and even treachery could not slay him. But pride went to his head, and he set himself against the demon lords - and with his spear, he discorporated one. Of course, the priests of Cecelyne descended and when they were done, all that was left was his skin, turned into a mocking banner. Still, the erymanthoi remember in their blood what was done, and one who raises this banner aloft after bathing it in the blood of a thousand men (or cats) will find them coming to answer.
Right of the Princes (Infamy) - Who would dare defy the green sun princes an allotment of troops? This spell, taught in the libraries of Orabilis, can be used with any demon lord or prince to request servants of them - though the spell fails if the demon denies this request.

Taking it from the White Wolf thread.
EDIT: Ultimately, this system would likely run the closest to actual mythological crafters; Weyland's flying machine that saves him from captivity and Daedalus' wings for one. The big problem is, that as you say, the entire archetype of a dedicated craftsman is just very gameified, and Exalted's notion that Magical Stuff were crafted as Magical Stuff rather than something that became Magical Stuff, leads it to actively require the craftsman in a way that is probably self-sabotaging.
Ultimately, a proper Exalted crafting system, should probably depend extremely much on whether you go big on strategic actions or not, because in one where you don't, the power of the Crafter should probably be analogous to pulling X amounts of Cool Stuff out of their ass per story, rather than sitting down and crafting it ala Exaltted 3e. It'd be pretty hard to design a Charmtree around, but frankly, if there is anything that has made me lose sympathy to Craft in the context of Exalted, it is having to read how many times writers can cram effects that are all variations on "Craft Gooder" into the same Charm tree.
