>What is Exalted?
An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.
Start here:http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/

>That sounds cool, how can I get into it?
Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial:http://mengtzu.github.io/exalted/sakuya.html
It’ll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.

>Gosh that was fun. How do I find a group?
Roll20 and the Game Finder General here on /tg/. good luck

The original sales pitch was that Exalted is WoD's prehistory. Doom and gloom is a part of the package. Sure, the WoD connection was quickly abandoned, but it was still originally there, and Creation was originally presented as a doomed setting.

I'll give you demons, Fate is debatable, Autochthon is very debatable, but I don't think distant, uncaring gods being deconstruction is even debatable, it's just wrong.

>>97360062
Gods are active and care (often negatively) a lot in myth. Most myth heavily involved the gods of that locale
>>
>>97360111
A lot of myth do, sure. A lot of the fantasy books listed as inspirations for Exalted don't have thta, though. Distant, uncaring gods weren't a new thing when Exalted did them. Another matter is, of course, that only some of the gods in Exalted are distant and uncaring, while others are very much present and meddling in mortal affairs. In other words, calling gods in Exalted being distant and uncaring an example of deconstruction is wrong in at least two different ways: gods as a whole aren't really distant and uncaring, and if they were, it'd just be playing some of Exalted's inspirations straight rather than an attempt at deconstructing anything.

>What is Trench Crusade?
An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.

>What Trench Crusade is not
TC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.

>What's the QRD on the background?
The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.

How does that work in setting? Fluff-wise I mean?
Just interested rather than going to give you shit about it.
>>
>>97358491
It only uses d20 for attack rolls, everything else is 2d6. From what I remember (it's been awhile) it could easily be shoved into something like traveller relatively easily.

But, traveller (post mongoose) doesn't have the kind of complicated space ship combat you're talking about either. You haven't had to worry about vectors and shit in a sci-fi game since probably the eighties.
>>
>>97358704
Admittedly skills are 2d6 but I more meant it's class-and-level, D&D derived mechanics. I really prefer my systems skill-based and with a curve.
24XX has a game called Super Bandit which is kind of close to what I'm after, so I'm going to start hacking at that (as well as SWN) and see what I come up with. Just in case future anons see this thread in an archive.
>>
>>97359180
I will say, the class and level stuff in SWN isn't as... Hard coded, as some other class and level games? You do gain HP as you level, but you never get to really crazy levels, and the classes are fairly broad. But I understand, I much prefer a classless skill based system for sci-fi, leveling seems weird in non-fantasy system for some reason.
>>
>>97354291

Someone already mentioned SWN, so I'll point out that Solo for Cepheus Engine has a fast and abstract ship combat system too.

your taste is just shit. Plastic angron is absolute perfection. Angron has always been the Wolverine. He's an angry little wolverine that hunches over in pain and fury with muscles always tensed. The nails keep him from caring about higher thought and culture and principles, dude enjoys just grabbing guardsmen and shoving them into his mouth for a SlimJim. Nothing about him is fat, just muscley. Primarchs are all inherently built thicker than pro wrestlers, then Bloodthirsters are pure embodiments of big bulging muscles and war, if you want your favorite dainty femboys, that is someone like Fulgrim, not a champion of Khorne.

>>97359701
>you have to use mask, gloves, watch for the resin to not get stuck, to not drop resin anywhere, to clean the VAT
No, no, no and no
resin is also import into slicer and click print, the failures do to improper supports are just as prevalent, with resin it's as simple as using a good slicer like lychee to auto support, with fdm you often have to redesign the file to prevent failures.
I use both, both have strengths and weaknesses, the problems with resin usually occur with catastrophic failures, being too cheap and using an FEP sheet too long, having it break and then dealing with a mess as you try to drain it back into the bottle with a hole in it.
vat cleaning? a joke, if you have a resin failure you remove the vat, you gently press underneath with your finger to lift an edge and then remove the bit of solid resin.
gloves are unnecessary, mask is being a paranoid bitch, even the MSDS states that the only long term risks of resin are to aquatic life if you dispose of liquid resin improperly, but why would you dump out liquid resin? that's your desired material, the only resin you should be disposing of is failures that can't be used and cast off supports, but even failures often get repurposed into things like objective markers, terrain scraps and sources of spare weapon bits, etc...
with FDM a failure an result in burning your fucking house down, you can walk away from a resin print, you can't walk away from an FDM, at least not without taking a risk.
that's not to say you should print in FDM, it's an incredible tool and I use it for far more than just hobbying, FDM can and does produce useful objects for everyday life and even here on the farm I save thousands of dollars making incidental parts for the tractor and other heavy equipment that the dealer would charge me absurd amounts for.

It is a Skirmish wargame. Two players with their own expeditions, on a hexgrid map, explore & fight each other for victory and profit.

Looks to be the closest DC generator to when Agartha takes place and also fairly prominent at the time.

Have we done anything with John Browning yet? I've been discussing gun designs with a friend, and the subject of Browning came up with him getting started in this exact period. Of course, most of his more famous designs, the 1911, Hi-Power, .50 M2, etc. are from later, but he was still designing and making several firearms before the turn of the century. And we've nudged the development period of certain designs before, with the Maxim I believe.

I'm just divided on whether to keep him pretty normal with a blank cheque from the government post-Paraguay, or work in something Hyperborean. He'd basically be a saint up there with everything he's made/going to make.
