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.

This just in.

Quote from:  New Monday Meeting NotesEx 3 core book – From RichT: Maria still inputting revised Pg XXs after we discovered a page number shift in the book mid-way through due to Maria actually reducing the page count by two pages. Once she’s done we send to CCP for approval of changes- one of their required changes was having all the Pg XXs filled in before they’d give final approval, which is why we’ve been fixated on the XXs. After their OK, backer PDFs will be sent out. Holden also mentioned that his OCD has slowed down his end of things as he has had to restart the process repeatedly to confirm his already assigned XX page numbers."

Holden now has OCD!  Of course he does. :rolleyes:  And because he's slowing the project down, they're NOT going to give it to someone else who could do the same job, but maybe faster.

I believe some one made a bet in this thread.  As in the poster wins some cash if Exalted fails to completed by the end of the year.  So you know what I want Holden to do.  I want that guy to have some cash.

Quote from: Holden's unofficial AMAWe didn't cut a single Charm in the course of trimming wordcount. Added some, in fact.

Sweet Lord...

Yeah one of the most important parts of game design is cutting stuff you like. Often you'll come up with good ideas but if you put every single one of them in it'll just make the game overflow even if every single one of them is good. Seeming to not try to do that at all when they're working with so many charms boggles the mind a good bit.

We should start a betting pool about how many permabans will be handed out relating to Ex3 in the month after its release.

I wonder what they did cut? Explanations? Fluff? Both of those?
I really hope they did not cut down on explanations (important to understand all the mini-systems) and i am sad to see fluff go out the window...because that is the only thing that i still hope will be good. Oh well...

And he still thinks this work is one to be proud of when it is out?! Really?
I mean even if it is 101% perfect mechanically...all the delays (it's what now, over 2 years late?!), the passive aggressive shit, the "we can't talk about it but it is awesome" shit, the not-informing-backers and being rude on top stuff... and i could go on....will make this work/project at best an OK thing. Something to be proud of looks different... A LOT different. At least in my book.

I never read rulebook fluff, especially if it's poetry or crap like that. Same as I pay very little attention to the art, unless it's bad.

That's going to be hard to track, so I'm not participating.

It depends allot of how many of non hardcore fans are left by the time the thing actually drops. If the lose Isator Levie, for instance, they done fucked up and all bets are off.

IIRC, yes. IIRC again, it was for the classic crime of edition warring (asking questions and making comparisons)?
