Well, at least I'm known for something? Even if it's failure. That's good, I guess.

That phenomenon is a result of inadequate planning. I start the discipline, partway through I get caught up in doing something else in my life that takes a higher priority, and then I get off track and have trouble finishing it. Doing an Exalted discipline is much easier in that regard, because the fluff and concept are already done. If I get off track, the track is still there when I get back.

I do still want to finish those disciplines some day, though. Maybe if I get all the Infernal disciplines done, and resist the urge to rewrite all the Tome of Battle disciplines, and dodge the impulse to create an Infernal-esque martial adept class, and refuse to make an Unconquered Sun Style, I can get to it then.
