Quote from: Skywalker;926995I 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.

Okay, I can see the sense in that. Using two chapters as a fresh baseline rather than just throwing the 3E stuff on top of the pile of setting info from the previous editions seems a reasonable approach.

I like the 3E Map. I like some of the basics of the new setting. The Southeast has something going on now with the Dreaming Sea. Exigents (One Shot Exalts) are fantastic ideas and readily usable in Godbound. But that's as far as I'm taking 3E, stealing the basic setting elements I like and throwing out the cruft and the specificity that doesn't work for my games. Godbound has replaced Exalted and Scion for sure, and I'm thinking about how to use it for WHFRP and WH40KRP and a weird ass Spelljammer game as well.

Oh that is easy.  Make realms as providence of a made god known as the Emperor.  Use godwalkers to travel the night roads which one of them is actually a flying vessel so there goes your void ships.  Make the chaos gods as uncreated night titans with daemons working for them.

Rogue Traders and Inquisition can use common mortal rules.  Space Marines (in this case Realm marines) can use heroic mortal rules.  Finally living saints and daemon princes use godbound rules.

I still pull out my Exalted books when I need a specific detail, but its been as close as the heady days of early Exalted 1e as we have been, with the bonus of super fun and simple mechanics

I'd probably actually do something along the lines of the lesser Themed Godbound for Spehss Mareens and AdMech of certain levels (Those Magi get weird yo). Rogue Traders, Inquisitors, basic AdMech and Black Crusaders of the mortal stripe would get the Heroic mortal rules. Demon Princes and Living Saints seem more like things you fight than things you are. You might become one in time.

EDIT: That'd be for an 'everything and the kitchen sink' approach. For a deep dive, Words are stupidly extensible. I can see a Deathwatch game having Words for your Role (Tactical, Sternguard, Assault, TechMarine, Librarian, etc.), Chapter, and a Generic Space Marine Word. You don't have to care what an Inquisitor looks like in PC rules because they don't use PC rules.

Gods of the Fall did it for me.

Quote from: Christopher Brady;926960You 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.

Nah, its more a morbid curiosity thing that anything else. I knew the line was moving in directions I didn't like in late 1st edition. I got my hopes up a bit with 2nd then the trebd in the fluff and mechanics continued., 3rd was a the punchline of a bad joke I pulled on myself by getting interested in the game is the first place. Now I just watch to see how many of my cynical predictions come true (and to be honest, a bit of schadenfreude as issues surface from more and more being bolted onto a rickety core. Yeah, its petty).

Sad thing is, I still really like the core ideas and setting. I've even still running a game..sorta. We mostly ignore mechanics as much as possible. Need to find a good system to run it then buckle down and convert.

Much of the energy about Exalted appears to waned on rpg.net. There aren't several Ex threads and the main one has slowed down considerably, especially compared to the Godbound designer thread. Some of it might be fatigue. Exalted is pretty long in tooth as rpgs go, has three edition under its belt and the fluff hasn't changed that much. Combined with e slow publishing the lessened discussion isn't surprising. There's not much to talk about right now. But the fan base seems to be just as dedicated and intensely loyal so its not going anywhere anytime soon, IMO. Things will probably pick up considerably when the DB books drop.

How is that game? I've heard it's cool.

Looks like there might be some movement on the Exalted from. Some KS supporters mentioned getting notifications to check their mailing addresses.
There was some preview art posted. I think it was for an upcoming release called Jumpstart(?) which I've been told is a revamped Quickstart type product.

Here's the new art. I admit it is good.

Does anyone have advice for representing Nocturnals (the REAL adamant exalted) in Qwixalted? I wrote a brief treatment for them but I wonder whether they would be fine using the Sidereal mechanics as is. I'm also adding considering a new lost and found exalted for soulsteel representing the dead incarna who previously handled reincarnation.

That's much better art than most if the core. Still unclear how Panther punches people instead of shanking them with those fuck huge blades on his arms.

Yeah,I got my last call to confirm my mailing address, but after 3+ years of waiting, and reading the PDF, I'll be damned if I'm not that excited.

But the more important issue is why is the BLACK man's body on display like a piece of meat compared to those fully clothed white women? I'm triggered.

The real question is how the heck did his chest tattoo get knocked off-center like that? It's the only real blemish in an otherwise excellent piece (which I like more than most of the art in the core book).

If the rest of the art in the line is of a similar quality, it'll definitely be a step in the right direction.
