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.

I was happy when I saw 3E, then I ran a session or 2 and hmm. Ya. Okay, I can feel the bloat. And then all the issues with quality control, etc.

I want to support the line and all that jazz, but man it's not easy sometimes.

Whatever the case is, it gets weird with the status of IP being up in the air. No idea what's going to happen long term. And I care, but don't care now. I'm so burned out. Sad to say that. But it's how I feel.

Sounds like a plus. Fantasy superheroes are, I find, more fun than the usual kind.

It is something, too.

It's definitely no longer me. So I'm just as confused.

Wait, why is the status of the IP in the air, I thought it's squarely within Onyx Path's grasp?

Oryx Path licenses the WoDs and Exalted from CCP/White Wolf. Now that Paradox owns WW, things may be in flux either now or when the current contract runs out.

It's messier than that, I thought.  We don't know which licenses, is it just the video game ones, or is it all of them?

It's all of them. However, last I heard the guys at OPP had been in contact with Paradox and were good to continue with all the Kickstarters they already had planned, so I doubt there will be any major changes in the immediate future.

Also, Paradox seems to be almost wholly focused on the World of Darkness IP so I doubt they'll even bother doing anything different with Exalted. Several Exalted Kickstarter backers emailed Paradox about their situation when CCP first sold the license, and Paradox was caught sending out copies of the form letter they'd sent to the first guy to contact them; they actually forgot to change his name when they sent it to the other backers, so everyone got the exact same response.

I think it is more complicated concerning Exalted. Paradox fully owns WoD (Old and New) via WW and OPP fully owns Scion and Trinity universe (Trinity, Aberrant and Adventure) but if I remember correctly Exalted is co-owned by OPP and WW (and then Paradox). So it they are any frictions between the 2 of them, it might be difficult to sort things out.

No, OPP only licensed Exalted from CCP, and now Paradox, as far as I'm aware. The only direct quote I've seen regarding its future is this one:
QuoteRPS: Can you tell us what will be happening with the Exalted IP and White Wolf's relationship with Onyx Path? What difference, if any, will this make to the book publishing side of the business?

Sjögren: Currently we are talking to all of our partners, including Onyx Path and By Night Entertainment, something we couldn't do before the actual closing and announcement of the Paradox-CCP deal. We're deeply involved in the process of discussing with and learning about the minute details of our partners business while we establish a solid plan for the years to come. As I'm sure everyone understands we won't comment on any specific questions about partners, projects or products before this process is all done. But we intend to get through it as swiftly as possible.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if Paradox ended up selling the Exalted IP to OPP anyway. But that remains to be seen.

Yeah, it was a silly mistake from me. I mistake Exalted for Scarred Lands. Actually OPP makes a FAQ about that here : http://theonyxpath.com/about/faq/
