>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

That's because if you use anyone else as the baseline, the Solars become a nothing burger. Hey, here's a bunch of roided-up DBs that haven't done jack shit in several thousand years and have been obliterated before at the height of their power.

It's just another nail of disappointment.
3rd edition was around half-decent and half-awful, and everything since has been a steady decline with occasional good releases to soften the blow. The whole 3rd edition main-story getting derailed because they decided to squat the primary antagonist army (BoC) is still so baffling, but not THAT surprising with this shitty company. And ofcourse now the whole setting is just being further fucked with with new edition on top of my favorite faction being completely unrecognizable from where it started.

I'm still sceptical about the 5 new armies part. Everything else about the last world and blablabla has too many different sources not to be real (in broad strokes) but those new factions seem to be entirely based on mentions in the core book which one or two leakers apparently have access to.

There are a couple ways to do it. bt16 Pail 2 checks -> bt12 dragonmode 1 check -> ad fightermode 2 checks, so you've stripped all 5 security for 3 memory or less depending on your level 4s and tamers. So bt5 omni or bt20 omni X for the final check. You can also do 4-5 checks by using the starter dragon mode to play out your 4s, DNA into pail to swing 1-2 times more and go into another imperial.

If he can get some kind of protection over him he'll be pretty good as evoing by effect is very common place now(trainings, promo TS rookies, Medusa egg etc). Issue is by himself most top ends are probably going to remove him before he can try and delete something. Hopefully Ceresmon grants boardwide "unaffected while suspended" or something like that.

The issue there is that you're probably better off using Bacchusmon's suspend on your other digimon that do something when they get suspended, if possible.

This
Casters should have a theme and if being able to defend themselves fits the theme they should be able to do that, and if it doesn't they shouldn't
If your caster is a magical scholar of some sort like a wizard, then no they shouldn't be able to throw a punch better than any other nerd. That's not part of the theme of being a wizard. Other themes like a sci-fi technomancer, or an alchemist, or a magical deal-maker or summoner, or a seer or oracle, or a magical performer or bard, or a religious scholar or cleric, or a necromancer, also should not being able to defend themselves. That's not part of what their theme is, even if some of these thematic casters get to defend themselves in DnD logically speaking they shouldn't. They might have spells to defend themselves but frankly some of these like the cleric, bard, oracle, or alchemist should not be combat classes with any offensive magic at all.
If your caster is some sort of cultivator or magic martial artist or element-bender, if they're some sort of crusading zealot with a god's blessing, if they're some sort of animist or shapeshifter or shaman with a martial bent then yes they should be able to defend themselves.
But frankly, TTRPGs need less of a combat focus and more classes which are entirely non-combat.

7 sprues like that one for around 70 bucks is not that bad. 40k Predator is $80.

Would the Beastmen race from Warhammer Fantasy, The Old World and Age of Sigmar been more popular if they were instead a Beastwomen race where the purpose of their raids is forcing human and elven males to breed with them?
>>
It would attract a different audience but I highly doubt they would end up being more popular, people who like monstergirls might now care for a game where the whole point is that they die in large numbers.

Welcome to /wbg/, the official thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.

Anyone focus on glass as an important industry in their setting?

Pretty sure for a lot of the west and Italy and Venice in particular, Glassmaking was an important and highly exported product. Often being highly covetted in places like China in a way that Fine china ceramics were coveted in Europe.

I always thought that it might be interesting to make a european inspired place the "foreign and exotic location where you get luxery goods" If you are in a non european inspired place like if it is more Arabian, Southeast Asian, or Japanese. Think I got the idea in part when I was playing Scarlet Heros which has some more southeast asian derived settings.


If you want to go for something more magical maybe stained glass windows and fine crystal wineglasses that vibrate and hum with magic but will shatter if the magic is not kept in check could be a cool idea. Or maybe you are a glass blower that literally blows in the breath of life to animate glass objects. Glass has a lot of interesting potentials.

Think I got the idea in part when I was playing Scarlet Heros which has some more southeast asian derived settings.

The issue I see with this is that the East having all these exotic goods wasn't just a coincidence, it's way more likely that tropical countries are going to have valuable goods than a northern temperate climate. For example if we assume that there's a one in a hundred chance any given plant will produce a useful spice/dye/medicine/whatever, you're way more likely to find it somewhere like Indonesia which has over 28K species of plants than Britain which has only around 1K (Indonesia being an archipelago also helps a lot here compared to somewhere like Africa since it creates more endemism). This is why all the fancy spices and dyes came from places like India, Indonesia, and China and not Europe. Also there's animal-based goods like silk, ivory, pearls, animal skins, etc to consider as well.

Of course not all goods are as ecologically related, like minerals or some manufactured ones like glass that you mentioned, but it's still important to consider because unless you're setting your not-Europe in the jungle they'd probably still need to have a trading relationship with some exotic tropical region to get certain goods.
>>
>>97835681
Fair enough. It wont be exotic in the "same way" as warmer and more bio-diverse climates are to europe.

I wasnt trying to imply that the not-europe would ONLY export exotic stuff, just that some of the stuff they do export would seem exotic in a non-European inspired main location.

ON the topic of glass and silk, I also find it interesting that glass making processes were also jealously guarded just like how silk making processes were in the east. The Venetians being an obvious example, but later on I believe there was like only one small German state that had the knowledge to make the finest telescope lenses and people from all over europe bought them and tried to get the secret. European telescopes more broadly meant were also another major luxury export across the globe.

It's just something that exist in the background.
It isn't a focus in my setting.

There are some fairly advanced applications of glass, like it being a information storage medium, but that is because the tech level of my setting is intentionally all over the place.

Management is a niche compared to just adventuring and doing cool things. I like strategy and management games but even I am not sure I would enjoy such a playstyle right after work.

Long time MtG player (17 years?) and with what's happening to the game rn, i don't really have much interest in any of the new sets.

Sorcery looks like it could maybe scratch that itch. The art is fantastic and reminds me of legacy MtG art. Anybody here play?

I watched a few overview vids, but I'm curious how the actual gameplay goes.

For someone who plays mostly EDH, are there any similarities?

Is it usually a 2 player match?
How long are the matches usually?

Is it as much of a money pit as MtG?

Convinced a few of my MtG friends to give it a shot based off of the art alone. Just need an idea of what I'm up against in terms of learning curve.

>>97836873
I would criciticize the contradiction to want tools to help you make something unexpected but I dont really know how these world building books work.

Personally I do it by thinking up a setting I would like then shaping it so that individual actions matter, usually by having something horrible happen. Basically, for ttrpg settings to work you need a setting where players cant just call the cops or the national guard or any sort of aid. No one is coming so they have to solve the problems themselves. Apocalypse or government failures are good ones.

Apparently it was because of how I was messing with it. It started from:
>a basin holding water which can be interacted with a rod
>some wells also do similar things
>actually these things are nodes and they can become unstable and create logically breaking visible patterns, and they can kill you
>actually nodes are everywhere but as you are literally going against this system you can just sit in an unstable zone and fix it
>after some training you can create points and relationship between them but beware they're pretty much computer programming but more complex
>actually now I'll give you what's essenstially moderator privileges over the system after you interacted with something the NPCs told you specifically not to

The only somewhat fun part was teasing the princess as for some reason she was affected by this system and me going against it made her stabilize if I was close to her, bed included
