I was able to make it work, kind of, for a while, by spending literally hours a day working on it, and as a result had serious difficulty with some of my college career. Once I had an actual day job, hoo boy, that poo poo did not work anymore.

I may not be feverishly jerking off about how amazing Exalted 3e is going to be, but I'm still looking forward to owning and reading it. I don't think we're exactly in a miasma of ultimate despair.

If you guys think 'faster regen in combat than out' is a new thing, you're wrong de facto even if you're correct de jure. Remember stunts? Remember how you would get motes for them? Remember how you would stunt every action and getting a 2d stunt was blindingly easy?

Look, if you have enough faith in your audience that you can include Ultimate Sun-Courtesan magic in the book, you can put Husbandry on the character sheet. Or just Wrangling. Wrangling would work.

He covered it a bit on his tweetfeed. https://twitter.com/plagueofhats/status/480605399553679360 https://twitter.com/plagueofhats/status/480625177911250944 Long story short - no, not really.

TheLovablePlutonis posted:The part about being a fuckhead to this Michael Goodwin guy is true though? Unless I'm mistaken, they're referring to this post from earlier in the thread, which is... well, it's rude of him to speak that way about a peer, but none of that is a lie. Michael Goodwin has many great qualities but his mechanics tend to be more about form than function. What I mean by that is that they are intended to be illustrative of concepts within the game narrative, rather than necessarily easy to use or fun to use, because he doesn't usually use the mechanics.

theironjef posted:Good, I hope he fixes Scion. I hope someone fixes Scion. Are you part of fixing Scion? It needs very badly to be fixed. First, the auto-success pile on was silly. That game is playable for like 10 xp. Second, the Pantheon powers were hilariously out of balance and the Norse one was antithetical to Norse beliefs. Third, I'd say that the book doesn't need to suggest prostitute as a common career for every single female god. I think there's like one that doesn't. Same with the Japanese pantheon, where more than half of them work in anime, which is downright silly. [libel]If I know Neall, and I do, you can expect every deity, regardless of gender or rank, to commonly be a prostitute. That's just how Neall do.[/libel]

I could see War charms that let you turn your own Circle in to an extension of your killing power - not exactly a battlegroup, but that lets them be more effective at bolstering you.

I can't see any evidence for what NutritiousSnack is describing.Ferrinus posted:Scanning the Onyx Path forums has allowed to learn that you are officially not allowed to discuss the contents of the leak on the Exalted forum itself. That must make for a really healthy and cool posting environment. It is super awkward, especially when people start asking about 'hey do we have any idea about [thing leaked]' and we all just metaphorically look at each other and cough.

Roadie posted:As a whole I like having some changes to have more internal coastlines and stuff, but I have to say, now the Western islands are even more absurdly distant from the rest of everything else in a setting where most of the ships around are supposed to be triremes. My guess? It turns out it's impossible to stop artists from drawing galleons, so now they have galleons. Director: "Stop drawing galleons." Artist: "Sure." *draws more galleons* Director: "You're fired. Next artist, you're up." Artist2: "Happy to help. Galleons, right?" Director: "No, triremes." Artist2: "Like this?" *draws galleons* Director: "You're fired. Next?" Artist3: "Galleons!" Director: "No!" Producer: "We're out of art money." Director: "arrrrrrgh"

gourdcaptain posted:Yeah, I've got them around somewhere. They make my copy of 1e look downright comprehensible and sane. And they're not nearly as fun to read. Anyway, Exalted 3e is at least going to presumably eventually deliver something semi-comprehensible (if probably not something I'd ever want to play, but I'm so burned out on caring about Exalted due to some terrible campaigns I'm almost hoping the final game's just fun to riff and dissect) or continue being the most amazingly entertaining soap opera of a development cycle I've seen. I also backed that kickstarter. I never expected to get a good game out of it, but I expected it to at least be amusing. But it was just boring and bewildering. Tremendous disappointment.

It is kind of insane that one person wrote that, another person edited that, a third person illustrated that, and a fourth laid that out, and either none of them realized it was going to be a problem, or none of them were able to convince the developer that it was going to be a problem.

Catalyst Game Labs are not a proud name to be compared to these days, after the whole 'embezzling money and not paying their freelancers' dealy. So, not so much.

I'm normally the first to poo poo all over that sort of neepery, but I'm actually okay with the Martial Arts rule. An optional specialist skill which is used for optional specialist powers which is more potent but unlocked through an expenditure... it's a bit baroque, but it fits together pretty neatly. It's complex, but it's not bullshit.

Bedlamdan posted:It doesn't look like they'll have anything other than the first three castes, but it's nice that Lunar Bond is no longer a thing. I was kind of exasperated at the Lunar fluff at first glance - it feels very strongly like a reaction against 2e, rather than driven from any raw source - but I'm not prepared to give it too much poo poo until I see how it's expanded on in practice. I haven't really read the leak fully yet, been busy, but I'm really looking forward to it.
