General Exalted Thread

Reader mode
If people are having problems seeing the black "V" on the white background while the rest of it is in white on a black background in the VERFACE@TWITTER watermark, perhaps there's a better way to go about getting clarification than coming out of the gate and calling me very rude for not making a link to twitter.
 
FYI: Tomorrow (2pm PST Tuesday, 12th Feb) Onxy Path are putting up their Kickstarter for Lunar's for 3rd Edition. Like the Dragonblooded KS, all text has been written and over the course of the KS, they will be distributing the text to backers (without images or layout). DB took about 5-6 months(KS ended in may, backer PDF came out in late December) from the end of the KS to be turned into a backer copy (with layout and images) and should be going for general distribution pretty soon.
 
Well well, even shorter time till 3e likely becomes the best system with complete Lunar rules than I thought...

(That Lunars homebrew isn't bad looking, but definitely doesn't seem complete...)

I'm excited for when @horngeek and @Maugan Ra reveal that instead of the Realm or Lookshy, the only gaijin waiting outside Rokugan are eternal hordes of DUTCH.

The funniest part about this post is that I then spent a while on discord educating @ManusDomini on what exactly L5R's gaijin nations actually are.

The Merenrae and the Thrane are pretty explicitly English/Dutch from around the 17th century in terms of aesthetics, with canons and muskets and so forth. Fast forwards six hundred years and you have a bunch of other gaijin nations, including:
- Literally the Roman Empire
- Literally pre-Ptolemy Egypt
- Literally India, prior to getting annihilated by the evil deity Kali-Ma
- The Sahara, only replace the Bedouins with the Mongols

And just to get across how literally you should take the above descriptions... behold, the fearsome Yodotai!

Said KALI-MA then took over Jigoku and drove an army of DESTOYERS in an invasion of Rokugan which lead to a peace treaty with the *literal realm of evil*

(AEG metaplot was duuuuuuuuumb)

I'm mostly familiar with the history from Oriental Adventures, where the Scorpions should have been exterminated multiple times in history but everyone keeps them around so they can outsource horrible bastard deeds to them and pretend their own hands are still clean. Even when the Scorpions try to seize the throne or harbor ancient all-devouring evils within their midst.

The book just gave me a profoundly negative perception of Rokugan in general, to the point where I can only imagine playing a campaign in it if it involves burning everything the fuck down until the last hypocritical shitheel in the setting is strangled with his own entrails.

I'm sorry for calling you rude. It was uncalled for.

It does bug me when people post art without directly linking to the original artist, because watermarks can be missed or ignored but links make it easier for the people you're sharing it with to see the other work the artist has made, and since a lot of artists rely on word of mouth to spread their brand and get more commissions I feel that it's important to always refer back to them when sharing their work.

Sorry about that.
 
Read through the manuscript. I'm in love. If you can back this, folks, you should. They're doing great work.
 
Do we know when the Dragon-Blooded 3e book will be released for purchase? IIRC They already finished it and it's out for backers but it's been a few months since I last heard any news.

The dead tree copy is being released around the end of this year, and the PDF version is already available to backers. Working off of that, I'd eyeball a public PDF release as being within about three months of the dead tree release. Then again, the Kickstarter updates say that the final PDF copy is in proofreading at the moment, so it may very easily be sooner.

I for one, am curious as to wether the legendary size shapeshifting charm can stack with the swarm shapeshifting charm. Tyrant Lizards hunt in packs, right?
 
The DB as of latest update is being indexed. Also note the PoD version will come out a lot sooner than the Deluxe DB version.
 
why settle for spending your xp on making friends with a bunch of Tyrant Lizards, when you could instead spend your xp on being a bunch of tyrant lizards?

EDIT: phrasing
This plan is good, but even a Solar could just buy tons of familiars, only a lunar can BE tons of familiars

now that you mention it I am fairly certain I did not, I am sorry

No need to apologize. You'll find that moderators on this site are also users. If we're not being fairly explicit about the fact that we're moderating (and we have a variety of tools to do so, believe you me) we're probably just posting like normal.

Besides, phrasing's fun.

So the Monday Meeting introduced a picture of Silent Pearl, the new signature No Moon. They are a non-binary, cuttlefish-totem, and prefer to spend their time in hybrid form.

That is clearly a nautilus-totem. You can tell by the wedge and the shell, as well as the arrangement of arms around the head.

I have played a Lunar playtest game with @Omicron and a number of other users here (including @Spear) for the last few months and I can only support this. Back this book and you will not regret it.

I like Exalted, but I'm not super into Lunars. Why should I be excited for this? (Genuinely asking, I'm considering backing, but am eh on the whole Lunars thing.)
