So between a combination of GreggHL's Glorious Shotgun Princess and the demo of Asura's Wrath I was inspired to dig out the copy of Exalted 2e I picked up a few years ago. Despite the inherant awesomness of the game, I never got around to doing anything with it, in part because my group was slightly intimidated by the complexity of the combat system as compared to d20 stuff. However, due to my PnP gaming group being on hiatus due to Baby, we were discussing the possiblity of doing some play by post gaming to get our fix in. I volunteered to look into it, and thought that the slower pace of online gaming might be a great time to give Exalted a shot.
I was wondering if anyone who had played Exalted before had any advice to give about what books other than the Core rules would be worth picking up. Is there anything like a Monstrous Manual to be had, or am I stuck stating out each encounter by hand? Alternatly, a premade adventure would also work.
Also, any suggestions for a good place to run a small Play by post group? I'm currently of using Yahoo! Groups.

If you become a monster to put down a monster you've still got a monster running around at the end of the day and have as such not really solved the whole monster problem at all.
