Basic set up is this.  Think up a super rules lite version of Dark Heresy without fate points.  So basically your average percentage dice game with d10 to handle damage.  Yes if you roll a ten the die does explode.

The killer app (as Pundit would put it) is the Asset system.  You only got so many, but they are the source of your powers.  They do three things.  Bypass which can be done once per event can give auto success.  Effect allows you to spend heroic points, in this case motes, to do effects you normally can't do.  Last is restore which allows you to recover more motes while in rest if you are doing something within the them of the asset.

A example of this is a dawn caste exalted.  Once in battle he can bypass a attack roll to just automatically hit the enemy.  Think something of a perfect attack, but the defender can still do something about it.  Effects are naturally exalted charms.  Last instead of resting the dawn exalted chooses to practice sword fighting to recover more motes.

Now each asset has a rank.  Ranks improve the assets.  In bypass you get a degree of success per rank.  In effects your cost to use effects get reduce per rank in that asset.  Example would be say the dawn caste used a ten mote charm and has rank five in the asset.  That charm now cost five instead of ten.  Restore follows the same way.  You gain motes equal to your rank per hour while doing that asset activity during rest.  So two hours of sword fighting practice will give that dawn caste ten motes back if his sword asset is rank five.

Does that help?  I try to make my system easy as possible to understand and rules light as I can get it.

Neither of them is a White Wolf innovation, actually:).

Well, within TBP rules, that's the closest you can get to "your ideas suck so hard I want to stay away from them in order to avoid the vacuum sucking me in, too".

Quote from: Snowman0147;860543You know what?  Fuck it I want to do a play test using my system to do a Exalted game in this forum.  I will GM and I know the setting (still rusty, but I can get books).  So who wants to join since this is far easier than what 3rd edition is going to be.

Though my experience is limited to second edition.

Does the local forum even have a dice-roller? Otherwise, I can't tell much from this info, but it's almost guaranteed to be lighter than Ex3.
Admittedly, I am considering writing up all my Exalted adaptations in English and releasing them on my blog:D!

Quote from: Nexus;860768I'm more convinced than ever that "Ask the Devs" is more about their ego than anything else.

No, no the ego trip is the entirety of the project.  Just look at the comments the Devs made during the Kickstarter.

You didn't imagine that crack of earth shattering thunder and those horsemen riding across the sky...

Quote from: RichT, MMM, 18.10.2015 All corrections that we have found so far have been input. Maria is creating the backer PDF. We expect to send that out this week. We will have instruction in Updates for backers, but I do want to mention here that we'll only be looking for errata from backers coming to us through the "Contact Me" button next to my picture on the KS page, and we can't accept attachments or links in the messages. This is the method we've determined to be the most efficient for a project this huge as well as most likely to be something we can collate and implement without missing messages.

2015: The Year of Butthurt

I think rolld20 would be a good site to witness rolls.

Waiting until you have completed layout seems the perfect time to hand out your manuscript to backers and ask them to respond with any errors they have found.

No, I just find your quote deeply appropriate to this particular subject.

Oh good, I am butthurt about some thingsbut I've been trying to keep it under control in public

Awesome to finally have something like a solid date for the PDF.

Its going to be interesting to see a wider reaction though there is some bias since pre order backers are probably pretty hardcore fans to begin with.

Scratch that.  Roll20 won't work on iPhone.  So let's just use wizard dice roller instead.

Did someone actually ask the Devs' permission and approval to publicly discuss the backer PDF once they get it? WTF?

What?  Show me a link.
