The Eye of Autocthon

Video and Audio Conferencing: Skype
- Hands free audio: I love the Polycom communicator for this. We use them at work, they cost about 90 bucks, and free you from the tyranny of headsets by doing echo cancelling right on the unit. I plan on using one for my home setup, so I can relax on my couch like I would in a normal game. Amazon.com sells them.
- Video: ooVoo
Documents: This Wiki
Whiteboarding/Mapping: Unknown
Dice, etc..: I trust y'all.
Character sheets: Anathema (Mac users will need Tiger to run this, windows users may need to download some java.)
Official Exalted Wiki: Shockingly detailed
Unofficial Wiki: Mostly other people's house rules.
From the Official Wiki Resources, a much better character sheet(for Lunars at least.)
