Just because the Ynnari were used as a plot device to let Guilliman do main character shit doesn't mean there is trust between them.

>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.

Still false.

Ironically enough, yes, since they are done by the living.
>>
>>96519526
It seems like they're about as common as anything else that costs Resources 1, so I'm not sure the "thaumaturgy x gene" (I have no idea what you're talking about, sorry) is as rare as you think it is.
>Ironically enough, yes, since they are done by the living.
Doesn't seem to be supported by the text.
>>
>>96519585
In 3e, people capable of learning thaumaturgy are as rare as the Dragon-Blooded.
You cannot learn it without the potential.
>>
>>96517242
Funnily enough, in a very obscure bit of Ink Monkeys lore there was this wolf the Primordials made to live at the end of time meant to eat everything. The Maidens took the Sun there and he destroyed it. So technically, whatever Creation’s eventual future the Unconquered Sun has at least ensured a big wolf won’t gobble it all up.

That too, was probably a reference.

You can keep moving your side along, only thing I could add right now is what's happening with Rost, but that also depends on what the elves do. May as well fill in on what Ilska and Skivare have been up too since the bandit fight.
Ilska has been leading raids against Empire soldiers passing by on nearby roads under the banner showing Black Thorns, while Skivare has been sneaking in with small numbers at night to shank sleeping Bretonian work camps leaving images of roses in blood. Both have left Skogs forest borders to do so, meaning she has no idea this is happening.

Kitchen sink settings rarely are true kitchen sink, instead a white tourist simple surface level take on the world. I'm pretty open to players adding most things to a base setting but we discuss if it's something we want to fully flesh out and make a core part of our story, or if it's just a passing "oh that's neat" detail.

>>96514650
This. If you're throwing too many things at once into the spotlight none of it gets a chance to truly shine or have meaning both on their own and in relation to each other.

This got me thinking. What makes a GOOD kitchen sink setting? Throwing random things together, I guess, don't make good ones. Thought, what is "random" for a setting?

Tbh I've always preferred it when mechs are used in a setting that isn't trying to be realistic even in other ways. Instead I like it when mechs are used as a sort of...faction dressing to show you what a faction is all about. Like how in 40k the Imperium's mechs are basically walking Cathedrals, the Tau's are all high-tech and mobile, the Eldar got those graceful giant lithe mecha, etc.

>>96518682
I looked into it a while back and recall it being another battletech heartbreaker. That's nice and all and I'm sure it's a fine game but I just can't get worked up for it.

Is limited customization a dealbreaker for a mecha game?
>>
>>96519533
If you're gonig into the game expecting AC or BattleTech I would suspect so.
>>
>>96519533
Depends on the experience you're trying to offer. I've always felt that the "what do you mean it isn't a garage sim?" guys are usually just coming in from the videogames. You go over to anime and the mechs are more frequently bespoke and customization is more like adding extra thrusters or using a different gun.
It also tends to suit more for skirmish either way.

Am I missing anything or do Free/Far Traders flying off a C or D starport really always have a 25% chance or so of misjumping? In Traveller Classic, that is, the 1977 rules.
> Throw 12+ for a misjump to occur, DM+5 if within 100 planetary diameters, +3 if using unrefined fuel (except military and scout ships), -1 if using refined fuel, +2 if operating beyond the required date for annual maintenance.
Meaning as I said, on a 9+ on 2d6, misjump. And then class C and D starports, offering only unrefined fuel, are like 42% of all randomly generated starports? And then 50% chance the hex they pop up in has nothing by raw.
That all sounds fucking painful, unless you somehow stick to A and B ports. I guess that explains all those low population planets.
Are there other modifiers I missed somewhere? Something like, god the gas giant presence roll that's just a random line in book 2 instead of being in book 3. The 1981 rules are so much kinder about it, damn.

Traveller thread I guess.
