It must be terrible, working in an industry wide version of '90s Image Comics.

People decry Rob Liefeld and Jim Lee but even if they hid their feet drawings, they never forgot to actually draw legs.

Labor power dynamics are really interesting, especially at the intersection of niche fields and niche industries. But at the end of the day what goes in the book is what goes in the book, and the book is judged by what's in it, not by the way the people who make it are managed.

Labor power dynamics should be addressed on the Alchemicals book.

Both great books, and the Alchemicals setting book is badass as well. I know you were being sarcastic, but this road has unironically been trod very well. This is one of the reasons I like Exalted so much, as most of this is handwaved away in most other fantasy games.

I was being sarcastic but thank you for your book recommendations.

The potential to unite and inflict grand change being undermined by petty tribalism is an important part of the human mythos.

Regarding the War Charms, is 3E actually going to fulfill my desire to play as Dynasty Warrior's Zhuge Liang/Sima Yi, aka genius strategists who can also take an army on by themselves?

I posted this before, but the underworld is totally where the medieval European aesthetic in Creation needs to live. The 3E team's trying to figure out how to spice up the realms of the dead? Just straight up make them Dark Souls. Straight up.

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.

Cars here seems like a solid elder-level Lunar concept to me.

An Elder Lunar who eats Abyssals would be such a loving good NPC boss.

Also 3E should let Abyssals be more Dio-like. Seriously I made a build to be as Part 1 Dio as possible but while I got the eyebeams and the freezing thing (somewhat), I want some charms that let me summon THE WORLD.

Sometimes a game where you play as a sun god and friends is a game where you play as a sun god and friends. Maybe don't try to go all SuperMechaGodzilla on it, for christ's sake.

No you're right, there's no place for analysis. Let's go back to speculating about charmsets or rehashing which Infernals chapters you should probably skip v. which ones you should definitely skip.

I'd rather have that than read paragraphs or what party would Ma-Ha-Suchi would vote for or who in creation is the closest to Hitler.

Aren't Liminals sort of like the PCs from Prometheus? Frankenstein things trying to find a purpose (I guess sans the part where everyone hates them).

They are robots played by Michael Fass Bender?
