This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

It's sad, you know.  Those are great burritos.

Big Eyes, Small Mouth - for anime fans not pervy enough to play Maid, not sensible enough to play FASERIP, and/or not smart enough to play Anima.
Prince Valiant - World of Darkness rules, minus the pretension, angst, crunch and splats.
The Streetfighter RPG - for when the WoD tenchcoat-katana brigade give up on pretending to roleplay.
Thrash - The Streetfighter RPG Heartbreaker with 110% more fanboy, and 50% less playability.

Quote from: Iron_Rain;920496There was a first time? Or were some of the developers involved in a bad kickstarter?

many people believe that Onyx Path screwed their backers in the Kickstarter for Exalted, because the primary author for the system suffered a life threatening illness, and took time off from writing toe game to, you know, be all selfish and try not to die.  During that time the PTB at Onyx Path kept people up to date on the author's health, but as he was the architect for the new system for charms, nothing could really move forward until he finished treatment.  They also didn't just take the assignment away from him and give it to someone else.  At least that is what I've managed to put together from big purple. so YMMV

Quote from: Simlasa;920499How so? I've never read the thing, but I'm curious what it changed.

AFAIK, many are upset that what started out as a random, throw away comment about a God Machine in the original edition of nWoD core rules, became canon with Demon where your character is a renegade servant of the God Machine who is hiding as a human.

You didn't cover some things.  You did not cover the shitty poser art nor the stolen art.  You did not cover the horrible treatment that the exalted devs gave to their fan base and the constant bannings at rpg.net.  That was the source of all the hate.  The devs treated the fans like shit and as moderators they ban people who were reasonable.  In fact some people moved to this site because of it.  This is not covering the fact that a streamlined system was promise, but instead we got a broken system with over hundreds of charms that is filler work.  

The guy who was sick was the only one with an excuse.  The others have nothing to protect them.

Hm,is there a more in-depth treatment of all of this online, particularly regarding the artwork? I only ever seem to catch glimpses of this from the outside, never being an Exalted player, mostly from a few vague comments on TBP before people are banned.

There is a old thread that is over a hundred pages.  Plenty of links to help my case.

Wouldn't it be more ',but the place that sells them closed down and reopened as a flauta stand. We don't have the same name, but our burritos are basically the same.'

The burritos are the same, maybe with a couple of extras on the side these days.  But as soon as you walk into the door, a neon monkey screeches and throws the poop at you.  Best to do a delivery.

The burritos aren't even bad, you know. They're loaded, stuffed with cheese and meat and beans and they have this amazing spicy salsa. But as I got older I just couldn't eat then with the same impunity as my youthful self and now favor lighter (though still flavor-packed) fare. I still eat one every now and then, when someone else orders them.

Pretty sure I reprimanded Opaopajr for doing the exact same thing a few dozen pages back. :o

They're really not, and the extra sides are fun.  But I can understand.

Given all the topping options and menu items, I just don't have three hours to order a burrito any more.
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

California burritos, thick as a... woman's calf (whew!), carb loaded with an additional scoop of rice to send the nearest diabetic into starch-induced coma by proxy. All while you are tripping on acid which steals away your appetite. And did you ever really pay attention to the manifold shapes of tortilla chips? I mean, dude, they're all just triangles from Geometry Class trying to escape two-dimentionality through the power of boiling oil! Holy shit, horchatas are like drinking a churro...

I am the Tapatío hot sauce man.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.
