This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Its only fair allot of Exalted fans and staff can't seem to stop shitting on D and D and its fans.

I owned 1e Exalted... always wanted to play it. Too bad it's written by the people that currently are trying to produce it. I won't support them at all.

Well when it comes to Exalted there is a lot to complain about.  Especially the third edition that isn't even out yet and is years over due.  I mean people paid good money and what did they get?

They have a corrupt site that bans those that question the devs because the devs are the moderators of said site.  A shit ton of excuses, whines, and I blame you the customers rants from those devs.  The only playable demos are leaks and those leaks look pretty bad.  Constant silence and having no clue as to what is really going on.  Devs who think they are the best thing since slice bread despite the fact we see people do far better work in kickstarter.  Finally the growing sensation that you might as well play FATE to get your Exalted game.

So had anyone found a good form fillable character sheet yet? my group is strongly considering "Playing the leak"

I would just use one of the old sheets. It's mostly cosmetic things to pay attention to.

Most of us can do that, but there are a few players we are afraid are going to cling to 2E ways unless we can find something new. We found a sheet, but it is FULL of errors, so we are hunting for a better one and hoping someone has one.

So, in short, yes, I could do that, but by posting here I am hoping that someone has, or can easily make, one for 3E.

Since I'm attempting to be less petty this week, I wish you luck. And I might check reddit. Those folks might have something.

I appreciate your discretion :-) I'm new here.

Unfortunately, Reddit has banned leak discussion (as I am sure you guys are used to in various places). I made a post anyway, it got voted to oblivion. At this point, i may just attempt to figure out how one goes about making a form fillable character sheet of your own in... some Adobe product.

I am really wondering where all these freshly registered posters* that are oddly knowledgeable about the system are coming from. Its slowed down but they're still popping up.

*or that have been registered for awhile but have post counts in the single or double digits after being members for years.

@ Foxsable: So, have any luck?

Not yet. I twittered MR. Gone but he ignored it. This is one of the only sites where people are even mentioning the leak, most likely playing it. I will post a link here if I find something accessible. Which is hard since every other site I can find bans discussion of any leaked material etc.

I have found this https://mega.co.nz/#!tMxlXS6D!IS5U-Mg1-IJG8QW7bkVjZisQfGsSE_tVySdjuM3zHdE which... well, it MOSTLY works. The 2nd dot of stamina doesn't work, the charms skip to the next line when you tab in the second to last field and annoying text bubbles pop up all over the place. Oh, and you can not remove the first dot in any category. I messaged the dude just today, no response yet.

Nexus: I actually googled the subject... this thread came right up, and I had to register to comment (makes sense)

A quick google came up with this Google Docs sheet. I think you are going to have to make your own or make do.

I don't believe anyone here is actually playing the Leak. We only discuss it, because it was the closest "beta" anyone had ever seen of what the finished product might look like.

Suffice to say, almost everyone here whose discussed it, thinks it's kinda crap.
1)Don't let anyone's political agenda interfere with your enjoyment of games, regardless of their 'side'.

2) Don't forget to talk about things you enjoy. Don't get mired in constant negativity.

Sorry if I sounded accusatory.

The comment wasn't directed at you, Foxsable. I was muttering darkly about some things on another board. But you do bring up a much less conspiracy fueled possible answer which, despite my misgivings, I have to admit is a possibility. So thank you for that and again I apologize if it sounded like I was accusing or attacking you.
