>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://jyenicolson.net/exalted/. 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/. With the new edition, though, chances are more games will crop up.

Artefact Edition. What interesting and unusual Artefacts have you found or crafted?

Who wrote the animas? Why did they make Zenith and Night terrible?
>>43608324
What's so bad about 'em?
So Vance posted up his character sheet for a game he's playing: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wNVw3Coi79j-Ob8gyZcrOBlhhtn0aT-byOb7-crGOuc/edit
>>43608142
Speaking of artifacts, just how is the Globe of Precious Stability, which protects, at best, a building or "largest first age ship" from the Wyld supposed to "shift the course of nations"?
You need other big assets to be able to use it at all (a manse or an exalt) and it's purely defensive and only useful against a specific threat.
I wish we'd gotten something more useful as the only example of a 5 dot artifact outside of weapons and armor. If this happened to fall into your lap what would you do with it?
>>43608402
>If this happened to fall into your lap what would you do with it?
Put it in my butt.
You know that Universe that Solars use as a battery, what if it'sthe World of Darkness?
>>43608324
>Why did they make Zenith and Night terrible?
are you braindead or something? Night anima is OP as fuck.
>>43608423
Roll stamina+resistance
>>43608423
your butt?
>>43608379
That is surprisingly straightforward.
>>43608142
Reminder Holden and Morke are liars.
>>43608449
Reminder that Robert Vance enjoyed both the ending to Neon Genesis Evangelion and End of Evangelion.
>>43607132
>Why am I surprised that sword beams like he's wanting are a Nasuverse thing
Iduno. I mean, there's a lot of anime that have swordbeams.
But "HOW DO I NASU IN EXALTED" is a very very persistent theme, so that leaps to mind first.
Additionally, in most of them, air slash and the like are a measure of mad skill with the sword, i.e. native charms.
In Nasu it's specifically associated with the artefact, so this reinforces the presumption whenever it's suggested as an Evocation
>>43607796
Especially if it's widely destructive.
>>43608472
NGE's ending was confusing but alright
End of Eva was great
>>43608440
>Roll stamina+resistance
I spend 8 motes to activate Adamant Skin Technique.
>>43608603
How is that uncountable scenery damage?
>>43608311
The Dreaming Sea really is the best thing in 3rd ed.
>>43608645
>How is that uncountable scenery damage?
It's doing uncountable damage to the scenery. The scenery being the inside of my rectum.
>>43608872
And the thread just keeps rolling back to Holden!
>>43608872
you can also do uncountable damage to the scenery by getting a Presence Supernal and being a large ham IC, the damage in question for this is you liberally eating the scenery with helpings of literay gravy from a verbal gravyboat the size of a Yeddim
>>43608603
Aaaand you successfully get it up there. That faerie escape artist won't know what hit it!
It's still unactivated. Attuning it like this is going to be a bit tricky.
>>43608992
What do I need to do to activate it?
>>43609009
Commit ten motes to attune it of socket a hearthstone on it.
>>43609040
I use Flawless Pickpocketing Technique and Magpie’s Invisible Talon to reach inside my butt, insert the hearthstone and attune to the globe without taking my clothes off.

ITT: A man shoves a 5 dot artifact containing a city-ship up his bum and activates it.
>>43609126
The orb whirrs to life in your rectum. Parts extend out of it and begin to move over the surface. The sensation is mostly uncomfortable yet not entirely unpleasant. It begins to vibrate, producing an audible humming sound through your body. Its glow creates a light at the end of your tunnel. The raksha cries for mercy. It feels like the item is expanding further. This may have been a bad idea.
>>43609355
>This may have been a bad idea.
You don't say huh? YOU DON'T FUCKING SAY!
>>43609355
>The sensation is mostly uncomfortable yet not entirely unpleasant.
Gay.
>>43609182
We're well aware that we've gone full First Age here, but who and what Usurpation is going to stop us?
>>43608438
Not if you don't supernal Stealth
Are the fruity names Exalts have supposed to be their actual names, or do they take them on after exaltation.
>>43610631
It depends.
Some people take on new names and titles, some people just continue using their birthname.
In the threshold, adjective-noun names are more common, while the Realm prefers those Indo-China-Japan mashups.
>>43610631
Everyone in Creation is born with a normal name. Its the deeds you perform later in life that earn you a title-like name, and as many people never actually meet Exalts, only hear stories about what they've done, they tend to give them titles as nicknames, unless the Exalt literally goes around telling everyone their name.
Most Exalts, when they hear the title the people have given them, either ignore it and continue using their own name, switch and use the name the people gave them instead, or use them interchangeably.
Or, at least, that's how I run it.
>>43610631
Sometimes both. In the same way Native Americans can be named Stalking Wolf, you can have mortals who are the same. Some people take on names themselves, others have names given to them, which become more known than their real names.
>>43610693
>Its the deeds you perform later in life that earn you a title-like name
I like that. Cheers
>>43610689
>In the threshold, adjective-noun names are more common
Seems weird, but I can dig it.
The God of Paperwork would be...interesting.
>>43611143
No he would not be. He would be a complete asshole who delights in making people miserable.
>>43611148
The thud of Reams of forms in the IN tray is Ambrosia to him.
>>43611148
She exists and is second only to the Incarnae in the amount of pull she has in Heaven.
Her name is Ryzala and she is terrible.
>>43611179
Let's compile a list of Gods and Goddesses that are utter wankers.
>>43611199
Might be faster to collate a list of those who aren't.
>>43611209
short list really.
>>43611209
The Golden Lord
That's it, those are all the gods.
Actual thread
>>43608289
>>43611352
I'm in both threads, but this one is better.
>>43611383
At leasts there's no inane arguments stirred by people who clearly want to prove that this game is shit so they spin and twist every argument until they are on top.
Instead we got First Age Anal Beads with added anti-wyld function!
>>43611584
Clearly superior. Maybe we should keep having two threads so one can serve as shitpost containment.
>>43611383
>>43611584
>>43611638
ok Rand
>>43611668
Oh fuck back off to rpg.net
>>43611668
No one's crying over mean words here, my friend, it's just that your thread has all the retards in it.
>>43611907
>>43611937
OK Holden
>>43611973
Lol butthurt faggot.
