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.

A preview of Arms of the Chosen on the OP forums.

Doesn't say much at indicates the book exists in some form.

The Jumpstart product is apparently up on DTrpg.

Bitching about the illustration of a female character almost immediately. Spike's rules are correct once again.

On the signed and numbered books issue

QuoteJust as an update, the signed and numbered certificates are not signed by the actual authors. They are instead signed by Rich Thomas.

Up coming Antagonist and Bestiary pdfs:

QuoteSo what we have planned are two projects that we are going to start releasing in April. That’s right, in order to provide our community with playable material now and not waiting until the Arms of the Chosen Advance PDF is released three months from now, we’re going to be releasing a section of each book each month as PDFs.

The first book, EX3: Antagonists, will feature both individual NPCs as well as antagonist groups. Each section will be smaller than a chapter, and we’ll be combining them all together as a PDF and PoD book after we have made a good number of them available monthly.

The second book will be the EX3 Bestiary, and will features creatures of all power levels. Some will be creatures the writers of the core had to hold back on, and others will be new and determined by what gaps we see from the core book that this project can fill. We’ll release these in monthly sections that we’ll combine at some point into a book, as well.

Rather than adding projects to the new devs’ already intimidating plate, both these books will be spearheaded by writers familiar with EX3, and reviewed by Eric and Robert. (Also, both books need to be approved by the new White Wolf Publishing before we officially can go ahead with them.)

I guess we should start a new thread if anyone is interested.

Oh yeah, the Boob Armor thing. That was pretty much par for the course over there though so was Sheppherd essentially throwing someone under the bus over it cover his his own ass.

Here's the "Sheppherd approved" version he's referring to: http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Uran_Karal_FireOrchid.png

Here is the deaded, maligned and nefarious "boob armor" version as she appears elsewhere in the art: http://theonyxpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Exalted_Three-Suns-Standing_final_v3-232x300.jpg

It just occurred to me that the "horrible" boob armor pic appears to recieve some actual effort and is more beautiful.  We got to see three different people and a beautiful landscape that the three are walking in.

The "proper" art is plain white background, only one character, and it looks like less effort was put in.  It just screams ugly to me.

Not ugly so much as amateur.

I don't know, they have the proportions right, or close enough.  The colouring is well chosen and makes the character pop, and the pose doesn't intersect with the body.

It's ugly as hell, but it's professionally done.

My conclusion is that both are nothing that I'd want to have in print;).
