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.

Exalted 3rd edition is still in proofing stage I see.  Godbound may still come out long before Exalted does.

That is going to be funny, I've got to admit!

I think it's a certainty that we will have the physical book of Godbound in our hands before Exalted3e. M20 took almost a year from final PDF to print (leaving aside the POD option).

No it would be sad.  The fact that Onyx Path had taken nearly 700K, is three years late, pissing off a deeply loyal fan base, broke their stream lining process, and the only demo has poser art with a few stolen art.  That is Exalted 3rd edition.

Now compare that to a guy that got only 32K and even if he fails you still get the PDF to play the game.  Oh the art he got so far is not stolen and pretty good.  That is Godbound.

I am just amazed that a team with so many advantages can fuck up so much.  Then compare to a single man with almost nothing, but is succeeding so much already.  This should be impossible, but here it is right before my eyes.  If I was a Exalted 3rd edition Kickstarter I would be piss off.

I'm not angry. Just disappointed. But I have Godbound so; I'll just brush off the loss and call it lesson learned on further Exalted KS projects.

Potato, potahto;).

Also, you can't get me to cry for any KS, much less one that's going to be fulfilled, eventually.
If you would consider crying, hear the word of the sages:

As an Ex3 backer, I feel neither of these things. At the end, I have a crunchy game and a much less crunchy game attempting to do the same thing, and both are more or less successful:).
I don't call that a loss;).

Godbound is frustrating to me. Its so close to what I wanted yet so far away. I guess conversion it is.

How can you have the book, when it's still in the proofing stage???

He's a backer so he probably has the backer PDF. There's more than a few people running games right now with it.

We backers got the non-proofread PDF since October.

Personally, I've had access to the game for 2 years or so because I was a playtester. We really liked the core engine until they added the Charms. Just too crunchy for us (but I think the game is cool for those who like heavy crunch games, unfotunately that's not me or my group).

What other people said, perks of being a backer:).

I don't like heavy crunch games, but can tolerate them.
Still, I kinda like better the Ex3 game where I'm playing, and in this one I haven't Exalted yet, so I don't have to deal with Charms;).

Heroic Mortals with EX3 is cool. The momentum mechanic combat uses works quite well with them.

I could see the engine turned into a cool wuxia game, with a new system for martial arts.

Well, my game so far is a martial arts game, and I'm using it as is. Works splendidly:).
The only obstacle was teaching people to visualize the effects of Momentum in in character terms;).
