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.

If publishers didn't give gamers stupid rules because they thought they wanted them, how would Palladium have started?

I think Rifts exists in the area that Exalted is currently moving into, a good setting marred by obtuse and overabundant rules maintained by a fanbase prepared to cut the throat of anyone who dislikes it.

It does seem that, like Rifts, one will have a better gaming with the original 1st edition of Exalted that with the new iteration (the 1st edition of Rifts, the one with the bikinis ladies and the tentacles monster by Keith Parkinson, is full of fun !).

Well, what do you know...! It is something.

Although, to be honest, way too lenient. If anyone but a mod had made an equally passive agressive BS post like the one he wrote, the least would have been a thread ban. And a comment starting with something like "this is a group- and personal-attack, ...." .
So yeah, definite proof that some people are more equal than others over there. To be honest, i find it highly problematic that something like this does not trigger an immediate revoking of mod-ship. What kind of message and/or example does that send/set. Just head-shake worthy.

  Does that mean that in a decade, we'll see Savage Exalted or a HERO or Fate conversion? :)

Whatdo you mean, in a decade?

It took about twenty-five years from release for Rifts to get an official conversion, and we're about fifteen years into Exalted's life. :)

Sooner if we're lucky.

Yeah, Snowman already explained what I wanted to imply.

Though to be fair, I guess a thread ban wouldn't make much sense at this point.


Like things in Exalted threads are weird enough. Like here where I've apparently been upsetting people by thanking them in a way that makes them feel bad?

and trying to follow the rules of + thread.

The next few posts get increasingly strange from my perspective, but I may have a form of internet based autism. I wonder if I'll catch a mod call.

I think they are finding reasons to ban you.

Could be. I've seen it before and if Jon Chung, former Savior of Exalted, can fall from grace then I certainly can. I don't have enough Social Cred to be one of the protected. I'm just black. :D

Won't be the first time SJWs shut up a black man who speaks his mind instead of following a narrative like a good little sheeple.
