>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?

Reminder: Holden and Morke are liars.
Age: 731
Location: Planet Dian
Information: Having finally assembled a team, Daikon leads his first mission in the service of Lord Frieza. The target planet is called Dian, home to somewhat primitive aliens who live in tribes, and, on occasion, in walled cities. Having already slaughtered one ruler, Daikon and Rugula move on to the next city, while the others move to destroy the scattered villages.
Welcome to Saiyan Quest. This takes place shortly after the war against the Tuffles, as the Saiyans look for more foes to battle in the absence of their old enemies.
Voting will operate on a first to five system, at least for the time being.
Dialogue is allowed to be added to votes, as are actions (though I'll ignore what I consider shitposting)
During battles, options will usually have a number assigned to them. After that vote has won, players will roll a d100, and have three chances to match or beat that number.
If a 100 is rolled, it is...

You and Rugula soar above the vast plains covering the planet, not really speaking to one another as you follow your scouters to the nearest large settlement.
You both have a rough idea of what to do; kill the leader and any warriors who won't submit, and spare any civilians who pledge to serve Lord Frieza. It's a simple enough course of action, and considering how easy it was to defeat the last group of warriors, you aren't all that concerned about the ability of you and Rugula, the two strongest fighters on the team, to deal with whatever awaits at the...

Do you ever made a campaign based on a music? Do you incorporate music on your game? What inspires you to play?
Personally, I must say that I made entire compaings based on musics from Of Monsters and Men:

For example, look at this:

>Looking from distance, you would think that its an small island of black rock, with a fortress on top of it made from the same materials, but looking closely, you would perceive that the entire structure is an enormous construct with the shape of a whale.
I put one of these on my setting, and it...

OMM makes some really great music that has a very role-play game aesthetic. But you should broaden your horizons.

This one comes back to me over and over when I'm thinking about WoD characters.

Halsey's music is all very exceptional.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtDs353zelU
Maddji's debut album (which is in Sami, but easily translatable if you're interested in the lyrics) is fantastic and ethereal and very much captures the feeling of being in northern forests and tundras.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0PvZGVPiJU
Wardruna is another excellent source, but Helvegen is one of my personal favorites. Their rendition is incredible, and it's traditional. Before a battle, skalds would offer this song as obeisance to Odin for his intervention in battle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAPhp9LYq44
I heard this song and already know this guy is going places. It speaks on every level.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA1AaWEdhH8
This one really evokes the way I view most Mages. They all have to feel kind of like they're sloughing through a molasses of unreality sticking to the bones of fact.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaH4W1rY9us
I listen to a lot of folk music, most of which deals with the struggles of modern life. But there are certain songwriters who can capture eternal struggles with timeless lyrics. Ben Howard is one of those.
I use music a lot, although I am careful about what I force on my playing group. Some of them don't have very expansive musical palettes and just won't understand why I am playing Johnny Cash's The Man Comes Around during a Shadowrun session, apropos as it may be.

You and Hate share an uncertain glance, and sit.

What if, a race of mushroom people that releases their spores upon death. The more glorious the death, the more spores they release and the farther they spread.
This race produces a very large number of paladins.

My DM homebrewed a myconid subspecies that did this. They were driven by instinct to travel far and wide. Had an oddly touching moment when my character died and was replaced by the only spore that managed to take root in the barbarian's filthy boot.

Just as planned.
How well could a completely abstract and narrative health system work?
I've always thought damage and pain tolerance aren't exactly quantifiable.
A small dirk could give you nothing more than an injury no worse than a papercut or stab your eye and kill you instantly.
Fate does it well enough for me. Stress is only a measure of how lucky/skilled you are at avoiding the real damage before you get shanked in the ribs with a stiletto, which is modelled through consequences.
Only problem I have with it is that it doesn't do instant healing well.

I was going to post Fate but I see Anon covered it here >>43596571

Not too hard to add in. Someone on rpg.net suggests:
>From Legends of Anglerre, the Minor Healing spell will heal blocks of stress 1 for 1 depending on how many shifts are generated. For Major Healing, the difficulty of the Consequence to be healed is equal to the amount of stress it deflects (2 for minor, 4 for moderate, 6 for severe, 8 for extreme). Success means that it downgrades the consequence by 1 time factor (Extreme heal like moderate, etc.). I would still make the requirement...

So I just remembered how Anko (and Hinata) had a curse mark, and how Orochimaru kind of had fail-safes in those in case of his demise.
And she's pretty much right next to the 3-tails at all times.
After declaring his intention of calling a summit of the five Kages, the Raikage quickly shoos everyone out of his office before you can got another word in, claiming that he is very busy. You currently stand outside of the Raikage's office doors with Tsunade and Bee.
"I can't really blame him for being in a bad mood, all things considered." Tsunade says. "But I don't think this was necessary."
Tsunade looks a bit haggard, but more than you would think from just the fight and treating everyone. Bee meanwhile, has his arms crossed...

You prod the corpse with your foot, nudging the robes further open. Where you had expected to find a wizard was instead a tall and slender creature fashioned from white wood. And not bolted or hinged together either, grown together as if it had seamlessly emerged from the earth this way. It is humanoid in basic shape though one of its arms ends not in a hand but a staff-like growth. It is faceless and once you pull the robes all the way off, sexless as well. A mockery of the human figure but without any of the details....

You are Siegfried Schmidt, a former guard from the city of Morsland. Due to various circumstances, you have become the new wielder of Galadriel, a holy sword which houses a powerful six-winged angel of the same name. Now you have come to the White Watchtower, a fortress close to the border between the Forsaken Lands and the kingdom of Iseria, to train with the crusaders so that you can protect yourself from the demons that might come after you now that the sword is in your possession.
Shortly after arriving in Iseria's capital you ran into Lord Bernadotte, one of...

Captain Laurentius was, to put it lightly, not happy to hear about what happened yesterday. The first thing he did upon hearing about the attack was gather the Honor Guard together and pointedly chastise them for leaving you unaccompanied. The second thing he did was yell at you for going anywhere unattended in the first place. From this point forward, he's made it clear that you are to be accompanied by no less than two of your guards at all times, without exception.
Admittedly, the guard had been getting...

“The king can't override the council's decision, because they're the ones that fill his coin purse.” Reinhardt responds between bites. “Council's filled with our most important nobles. First are the dukes, there's five of them. The king has his spot, that makes six. Now all of them get to pick one other noble to sit on the council as well, that makes twelve council members. The dukes pay taxes to the king, and when there's a war they give him extra soldiers to fight with. On top...

“So, this council was the product of a bad king then?” Roland continues.
You nod. “Yeah, it was. After King Torrick was deposed, the council was formed to prevent kings like him from harming the kingdom again. Torrick's successor was the one who signed off on the council, it was the only way they'd let him on the throne.”
“It sounds rather heavy-handed when you say it like that. King Harald III had his own reasons for signing that charter as well, you know.”
Just then, Lord Bernadotte approaches your table and takes a seat next to you. Thankfully, Erika is not here right now as she said she was going to go eat in the city, probably so she wouldn't have to take her helmet off near Lord Bernadotte..
“Forgive me for interrupting your little history lesson, but I thought it would be prudent to stop by and see how you were doing. By chance, have you decided what you are going to say when the council meeting asks you to speak?”
>”A vague idea, yes.”
>”Sort of. I haven't sat down and thought of what specifically to say, no.”
>”I was just going to tell them what I've seen out there. Surely some of them will reconsider their stance when they hear about the Farms.”

Post any art you might have of Giants. Preferably the peaceful, wild type. (sorry about the image, I found it on google as the best reference)
Post some of your own to get the thread started.
>>43595657
This. Good etiquette is to have at least a few images of your own to jumpstart the thread. Plus they give you excuses to bump.
I don't really have any stuff of giants, so I can't help you, OP.
In my setting Giants are the polyp-spores of ancient Titan entities that jump between spores. Giants were slaves and servants once, helping the great Titans prepare the solar system for life, but once the titans left the Giants were unable to follow and now simply stick themselves in the ground, many sleeping forever due to their sadness and depression.
However their minds are extremely ancient and advanced and anyone who meditates near them can pick up on these thoughts and deep concepts, many of which are about manipulating the universe from a cosmic or microscopic...
