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.

Quote from: Brand55;893166Oh, I understand completely. But, even though I was joking, there are actually plenty of people who would go off if they saw someone referring to any trans person--real or fictional--by their birth gender.

I'm sorry if I let my general annoyance with the character seep through in that post. It had nothing to do with you said. And yeah, I've seen some people dog piled for it on TBP.

Nah, no need to apologize. You'd certainly get drawn and quartered on TBP for such a criminal act, but we've even got one or two posters around here that would speak up about it (and not in a joking way like I did). Luckily, I don't think they bother poking their noses around Exalted threads much.

Shipping cost for the discounted POD book costs as much as the discounted POD book.

So.... nope.

Are we talking shipping in the US? Because that seems absurdly high. I know it's a large book, but I've gotten some big packages from places like Noble Knight before and the shipping wasn't too outrageous.

I'm not in the US    but I have ordered POD stuff from DTRPG before and shipping costs were more reasonable.

Maybe it's because of the size of the book, but I am hardly encouraged to take up their offer of discounted POD books

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I'm sure it's the size of the book but I don't blame you for passing on it. If it's any consolation, DTRPG is weird when it comes to shipping. I've ordered fairly small, light packages from them before and still been charged quite a bit. I used to order deck boxes from them, and the shipping would cost nearly as much as the boxes themselves.

Exalted has one of its signature characters named Prince Diamond ! That is beautiful thing because when I google "Prince Diamond", it gives me pictures of a Sailor Moon evil character (note that when I google "Prince Diamond exalted", it gives me pictures of the exalted character).

And the cover of Godbound is awesome ! I can wait for the hardcover version !

Also, Ex3 dropped in backer's inboxes, so you should soon be able to purchase it, should you wish to keep talking about its deficiencies;).

Yeah, good old Prince Diamond.  Who has a habit of going into rages and attacking people who miss gender them because they don't know Deneth culture.

While in the Eastern Threshold, thousands of miles from Deneth lands.  Where no one could be expected to know better.

Good representation there.

So this character from the culture of the West of Creation where a woman can declare herself a man and enjoys all the perks of being a man, providing they follow some restricting (I am remembering something about not giving birth to any child but I might be wrong there).

The fact that this character has an horrible temper is on part with the other signature characters which WW has taken extra measures to paint at not likeable at all ...

To bad for OPP, Pundit has already put a transgender person on the cover of his AoI !

It went live for real yesterday. $65 for standard, $115 for premium. Same as Mage 20

Well, being a backer makes it kinda cheaper, and being a PDF-only guy makes it even cheaper;).
And yes, I know it went live yesterday, I can see the e-mails. I just hadn't noticed it, and since nobody else had posted about it, I decided it's time to let you know:D!

It wouldn't bug me if the writers hadn't pimped her as so much noble, heroic and together than the other .sigs. If the temper was presented as part of the reason she was a flawed person in a game about flawed beings driven to great and often irrational passions I could see that but presented as the "true hero" of the bunch just makes me wonder what those other assholes are like.

For me, it just blows my mind that this mess of a character is meant to be a successful diplomat.  Anger management issues don't really work well, when you have to compromise a weapons deal....

Word of advice, don't go to Malfeas and  count on Prince Diamond's immunity!
