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.

As someone who still plays Champion Online, could I also get the PM?  I want to be able to protect myself.

I promise I won't forget.  I'm just going to give it a few days to make sure no one's going to try anything while I'm fresh here.

Quote from: Crüesader;897650Wait, so RPG.net moderators are developers for Exalted 3e?

Looks like I'll be enjoying that 1e or 2e if I ever get around to playing.

I already know of one Onyx Path writer that actually managed a pretty hateful shaming blog for people in an MMORPG that didn't meet their standards.  They also managed an army of online trolls, ERP'd with players and used the logs/screenshots for blackmail, and openly used ethnic slurs.
Why would anyone be worried for having participated in ERP session?

As I understand, there were some risque' things happening- or at least things happening with 'the wrong people'.  I've never seen the logs myself, so I can't confirm anything.

I'm still not clear on that, sorry, what's "the wrong people"? If he's a developer, he's obviously not a kid...
So why would it matter?

In some MMO's it's a bannable offense.  You lose all access to all the money you potentially sunk into it.

That's got plenty to do with why an MMO might care about it, not why anyone on this forum could possibly care about it.

"Wrong people" - social lepers, known degenerates, pedos, etc.  

Not 'wrong' in the sense of the forum, 'wrong' in the game community there.

Not that I agree with all those cases, of course.  Just giving you the frame of the community there.

Back on track:

I'm looking through some things on Exalted 3e.  It's starting to look like they toned it down to become 'D&D but not'.  It's apparently lacking the epic scale of the former editions, if I'm reading this correctly.  Anyone confirm?

That is the impression I have too. Which makes the constant crapping on D and D all the more sad. But Hell the game's been called "D and D for people that think they're too good for D and D" for awhile.

As far as I can tell, the dev had the choice of keeping the epic scale, or keeping a Storyteller system, since the former breaks the latter. They opted for keeping the system.

Well, from what I understand quite a few of them were ass-mad over Alchemicals and such.

So I get an ever so passive aggressive implication from Stephen Lea Shepherd that I'm "making a bid deal out of something"and I guess derailing the thread by talking about... reading Exalted 3rd in the WIR Exalted 3rd bv posting literally "Oh, that's different." about a revealed detail.

But "Silvercatmoonpaw" whines about the setting not being egalitarian enough and he'd introduce mass produced Exalts to make it "fair" and that discussion goes on for a page with not a peep from Stephen Lea Shepherd.

They're not even trying hide it anymore.
