Exalted 3E - Interest Thread

[Lumenskir]

I've been digging into the leak and following /tg's attempts to test/bash all of its component parts against a wall. I've got a relatively simple campaign idea that'll accommodate branching out, and I wanna actually play with it while layout of the official version seems to be forever on the horizon.

Anyone interested in a 3E game, played weekly on the chat? Solars only, natch.

'm interested, even if trying to narrow down the charms I want to be chargen legal will probably make me cry.

Maybe, I will be honest I have a few qualms about using the leaked version of the game. Plus I heard 3e wont be as bombastic as previous versions and that was one of its selling features for me

Well, if it helps I think my one houserule will be that you don't need the MA merit to actually start buying MAs.

Did you support the Kickstarter? I'm basically considering it a backer bonus at this point.

In regards to bombasticity, I'd suggest reading through it before going off of the echo chamber. Survival charms can turn a gorilla into an army fighting machine, Socialize lets you go Doctor Who, Lore lets you call down biblical catastrophes, and that's not even getting into the combat stuff (not to mention the smexy Sorcery and Evocations).

Nope, but doubt I would have. 3e is the Duke Nukem Forever of table top RPGs to me. Its been "coming soon" for about three years now. I know, text got leaked but I still wont trust it until a physical book is in my hand.

Oh hey, this board is a thing!

I'm potentially interested, depending on timeframes.

Edit:

To be perfectly honest, I didn't support the kickstarter, but that's because it was long enough ago that I hadn't even heard of exalted at that point. Reading the leak only solidified my decision to get a dead-tree version (maybe two so I have one to lend out) when it finally gets released, so I don't really have any moral qualms about it.

It's a bit like a beta test, ala 1e being leaked so many years ago to those in the community. It was just a smaller community then.

The game's plenty bombastic, it's got a death ray spell. QED.

Combat is much better now, and there's actually reasons to go offensive. Multi-attacks still break the game though, because you can opt out of the whole combat system with certain brawl combos. Melee is more reasonable and versatile, and probably remains supreme. Thrown kept most of the Ink Monkeys charms and is inexplicably still tied to stealth, having the best alpha strikes. Archery is unsurpassed at shooting things between far and unlimited range, as usual.

Oh, and evocations. I think my favorite is the sword that lets you cut open earthquakes and volcanos in combat.

Hmm well I shall consider it, I do love exalted
