I would expect the Jadeborn to be reimagined from first principles. I'm sure Neph thought he was putting the PCs on the horns of a really clever and fascinating dilemma by having them more populous than humanity with a tech base that would result in them inevitably overruning the human race within a couple of generations if their horrible, unfair magical curse were ever repealed, but I don't really agree.

I got it! It was pretty OK. My main takeaway preview-wise is that there's going to be a focus on the past lives of the Exalts, which I'm personally a fan of. The main character's Exaltation carries a bunch of baggage with it, both supernatural and otherwise, and hopefully that's going to be the norm. Also, there's an Exalt who performs evocations on other people's daiklaves, so it's possible that evocations aren't just personal developments. Then again, this Exalt invented evocations, so he might just be special. Edit: spoiler tags for the spoiler sensitive

It was a pretty good comic, yeah. Makes me curious about that Rakan dude, since IIRC he's the Getimian leader.

I feel like the comic was awesome when it was talking about evocations and hinting at some of the new 3E stuff. The rest was good, just not as gripping as I wanted it to be. I guess I'm just expecting everything to be Strawmaiden level of awesome. It left me excited to see what was up with that Lunar. That part about Rakan creating a message/compulsion that spread throughout Creation was sooooo loving cool. I've loved Sidereals since I first started reading about them, and I really hope that this is a Sidereal effect, not a Getimian effect. Also, any confirmation that the backer characters were in there? I reallllly can't wait to see how they use my characters name in the 3E core. Edit: I'm also a big fan of the message it sent about Solar supremacy. Visiting Flare doesn't seem to be some sort of poo poo-stomping murder machine and neither does Eternal Nova. I want Solars to be dominant, just not dominant enough to the point of rendering everything else irrelevant. Also, I dig the way the comic contextualized charms as being part of a character/characters legend rather than something external to the character.

You know, it was probably a Sidereal astrology effect now that I think about it. I guess since that particular dude is one of the big setting NPCs it was a very powerful effect, but if actual PCs could do something similar, that would be amazing.

So has P3 of playtesting started yet? Also, have any sample evocations been released? I know that we had Volcano Cutter but we don't know the specifics of it's powers.

The problem with the official Onyx Path schedule is that Rich is contractually prohibited from posting any White Wolf-branded information to it without running that info through CCP for approval, a process that takes a while. Typically long enough for the schedule to have changed. But then, to post the changed schedule, it needs to go through approvals again....

Exalted 3rd edition is definitely coming out in June and it's definitely going to be totally free of any the problems I've imagined or indeed problems in general.

Isn't that just because all of the things you think are problems are, themselves, imaginary?

NutritiousSnack posted:I quite honestly don't buy that release date since despite doing layout they are still doing part of the sorcery playtest even now and they seem to have been much firmer on a vague summer release then June. Still they are saying June. Nobody with an ounce of sense believes the OPP website release dates. You got called out on this because it was literally unthinkable that you would have gone by the release date on the website. 'Official' Ex3 release dates are actually a running joke in my gaming group.

Except I never said it's coming out in June, I said supposedly it's coming out in June. There is a key difference there, one is "this is what they're saying" and the other is "WoD MMO is out next and will change gaming forever"

Still, it sounds like the final phase of playtesting is happening and that means we're probably about 2-3 months out from a pdf, I'd imagine.

And when we have the PDF, we can all take solace in knowing we will wait an additional 6 months for our gold plated books of wonder. After seeing the comic I regret not keeping my higher kickstarter and having my character created by the artist. Dang, those are some good looking Exalted!

I wanted to grab it too but it was sold out before I could get it. I went with getting a character name in the novel at least.
