There is a certain majesty in it, though. Its not the longest thread, but fuck a duck if it hasn't been around for ages and ages.  

Sigh... I remember when everyone was still posting about how it would never be released. Now look at it...  I'm half shocked no one is asking about Exalted Fourth Ed...
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

If Onyx Path keeps fucking up and still has the Exalted license it could be forever.

Look just a couple of posts above you....

Quote from: Nexus;947915I put this aside to consider then promptly forgot about it. :o

Surprisingly difficult question but ideally, I think I'd like something that ran like WEG's d6 Star Wars: on the lighter side to run quickly and in a cinematic mode but crunchy enough that everything didn't feel like fiat. With a system for building Abilities or some really in depth guide lines, Something like Influence/Dominion rules from Godbound would be great. They're one of the most inspired parts of that rule set, IMO.

Sure, Nexus isn't explicitly talking about 4E, but the conversation about what you'd like the game to look like it pretty close to the same thing.

Quote from: san dee jota;947914I figure it's a race to see whether the Exalted team stop caring or Onyx Path loses its licenses.

At a book every 5 years, it could be just left in limbo :)

My futile hope is that OP consider a 20th anniversary edition in 4 years time, even if Ex3 is limping along at that time. They could go back to 1e, add in a few things like universal dice adders and better art and call it quits IMO

Well hell, the book is finally in the  mail. I can barely contain my ambivalence. :D
Running: Dogs of WAR - Beer & Pretzels & Bullets
Planning to Run: Godbound or Stars Without Number
Playing: Star Wars D20 Rev.

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.

I am more keen for the map than the book, as I can use that in my Exalted Godbound game.

The Orichalcum Edition looks dreadful. Its a black leatherette cover with a gold metal plate glued to the front. All that for USD350 :rolleyes:

Hell, that's better than I expected. But not what was advertised.

QuoteContribute to help us give the Deluxe Exalted 3rd Edition a leather bound, embossed+, metallic-edged, full-color, deluxe treatment.

But than again that sums up exalted pretty damn well at this point.

That is a little underwhelming.

I wonder how good the bindings are.  Is this intended to be used, or sat on a shelf and never opened?

From the comments I've seen so far its more a decorative piece for most purchasers. Which I can fully understand. I wouldn't want a 350 buck book anywhere near a typical gaming session. :eek:

Honestly, i am surprised that the super deluxe looks as good as it does. I mean what did you guys expect it would look like?
For me, i'm glad i did not spring for the super deluxe...i thinkt the "normal" deluxe looks much better.

Too bad the content is garbage. At least the mechanics. I think the setting is quite cool (it was always the selling point for most Exalted fans, i guess).
