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.

People still care about Exalted?  Didn't Godbound kill that off yet?
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Against the army of living zombie sheeples that will be glad to get piss on by the devs if it means they will be more "progressive" with their books?  Come on now a fanatic will be a fanatic.  I am amazed Godbound managed to wake people up as it is.

Though beyond a shadow of a doubt Godbound replaced both Exalted and Scion for me.

The fans play it for the story. Converts are moving their Exalted campaigns to the Godbound rules.

I still like Qwixalted. I might convert to Godbound at some point, though.

Don't mind Qwixalted at all, but you got to be crazy to buy Exalted 3rd Edition at this point.  Given how the devs treat their players, used stolen art, and many other reasons.

I don't really care about snotty developers or cribbed art.  I am not buying it partly because I have no players for it, partly because of problems I have had with Storyteller for this sort of high power game (Exalted or Scion) and partly because it's $30 for a pdf copy.  It's not a huge amount of money but it's enough to deter me from giving it a try given the other factors.

I don't contest that. They're crazy.

Exalted still has a huge advantage over Godbound in terms of background. Customers really like that. Where they done screwed the pooch is depowering the PCs to keep them from remaking the world in their image, even though that's the entire point of mythic adventures.

Unless you use Godbound to run Exalted. Then background is the same.

Never underestimate the sunk cost fallacy.

Quote from: Skywalker;926873Unless you use Godbound to run Exalted. Then background is the same.

I assume most of those people are old fans of Exalted. Given that it has so much developed background in the previous editions, how many people using Godbound for Exalted need to buy all the core books again just for the setting?

Many if not most of the old fans would simply still have the books, and after the Exalted Bundles I doubt background material is an issue;).

Quote from: Nexus;926957What do you mean?

You keep coming and I get the impression that you're expecting that OP Exalted will deliver resembling something fun and good, even if it's something small.  And yet, we all know that they won't.  They're so far up their own asses that they should look like some sort of weird, abulatory Mobius/Escher puzzle.

To be honest, I think it's time this game line got let go for those who want it, and stick with the older editions.

That was the point I was trying to make. I expect most people converting Exalted to Godbound have as much setting as they can use. More probably. I personally felt that Exalted crossed that line where the weight of setting material went from an asset to a hindrance somewhere during first edition.

I still have all my Exalted books, and all the fans that I know locally still have theirs too.

On saying that, for our Godbound game, we are currently using only chapters 1 and 2 of Exalted 3 as our setting bible, so we can free ourselves of canon except where we chose to bring it in.
