If you can talk your DM into ignoring this bit, then do whatever you want.

You can be a necromancer who talks, cares, and protects spirits.

I dont really know what I can stat him with much. But maybe:
STRENGTH = 10
AGILITY = 2
INTELLIGENCE = 7 (because in the game; Destiny, The Cabal are actually a pretty smart militaristic and industrial race)
I dont else. But I bet alignment is Lawful Evil.
ALIGNMENT = Lawful Evil

Correct me if I'am wrong guys. But is that a space marine? What chapter? Looks like he's holding an assault cannon and I'am guessing that's a Terminator? If not, then where's this from?
Your name is Amy Nakamura, a 17 year old void Oni, and you are fucking tired. You spent some of the afternoon chasing after a ghostly flame on a cloud (long story), after having disarmed a gunmen that seemed like he was about to shoot up the school. Suffice it to say you weren’t super enthused when you saw the rental car in your driveway. Then all of the hope in your body disappeared immediately when you saw a pair of bright yellow ears peeking over your couch.
“Is that Amy! Oh my gosh we’ve been waiting for like, ever.” You hear HER say. This is officially one of the most stressful days you’ve ever had in your brief life.

This might be the concentration we need to cloud up.
Has anyone played this at length?
Tell me everything you know about it.
Would it be worth getting to go from a successful 6-month long D&D5th game that is winding down?
Bump
One last bump and then I guess I just read a BoardGameGeek review or something.
I like it. If your group's familiar with the setting and/or game, it's worth a shot.
The word 'autistic' gets tossed around a lot.
What is the most legitimately autistic /tg/ related thing you've seen? I'm not using that word as a synonym for stupid. I mean full-on genuine autism.

We had a player who was on the spectrum in college. Played allot of Paladins and such, wasn't a big deal sense we always played good aligned parties. The brosest and basest guy I ever met, though smelled funny.
A guy who completely hated this one theocracy and spent the entire game conspiring against it. It was (relatively) benevolent and it was hard to break their religious decrees without going out of your way to do so, but the guy still spent every session trying to convince the others it was inherently evil and had to be overthrown and refused to trust any of their officials. No in character explanation btw
>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.

That's a bit of a specific topic.
How much do people actually earn per session? On average; I know the book has its numbers but I want to hear what people are actually getting.

Holy shit, I've played in games like that before. It usually takes less than two session for the players to start killing shit.

Hey /tg/, what are some good ways to break away from the cliches in your typical totally-not-vikings culture? I'm trying to find ways to make my setting's typical 'northern barbarians'/norse into something a little more stand out. It's so easy to find things on 'vikings' but little for actual norse culture.
Can /tg/ recommend me some good resources or media on the norse?
>>46966009
They like cheese a lot and actually spend more time trading then raiding for one. The Norse were massively prolific traders and sailors and nearly all of their runic writing we have that's left behind is basically trading lists of what they bought or sold.
Raiders were a relative minority among them but since they tended to raid churches (who had lots of good stuff but few defenders) and were usually the only people around who can read and write they got to decide how they'd be remembered.
They also weren't a unified culture at all, consisting of many different tribes and groups all throughout the migration period.
By the time they were actually "Vikings" and raiding England and taking large parts of it over they had actually dropped their old deities for being Christian like pretty much the rest of Europe (outside of the Lithuania area) had.

>> Do you have a favorite 'Heavy' strategy game / what is it?
TI3 / old SPI Hex & Chit games like 'War of the Ring' and 'Starship Troopers'. I just never get to play them as they all take to long for my friends to commit that amount of time. (Same issue with campaign based games too. Sigh...)
>> Do you have a favorite 'Light / Abstract' Strategy game / what is it?
Tash Kalar has been surprisingly fun, as has 'The Duke'.
>> What game that you've tried surprised you most with its strategic depth when it seemed like it might be lacking?
The Duke - I thought it might be ho-hum, but tried it with a print and play and really liked it. The short run time makes it appealing for friends not into 'long games'.
>> What light / Party games do you like when 'I can't brain today - I have the dumb!' ?
When I don't want to plan 'umpteen turns ahead' or watch everyone else / the board state like a hawk, I enjoy Funemployed, Dixit, and Code Names.
>> Anything on your 'must buy soon' list?
Some things I want, but I'm saving $$$ so I don't have plans to pull the trigger on anything for the next few months. I did get my latest 'Gazette' for Heroes of Normandie in the mail. Nice surprise.

I'm assuming you mean strategy-heavy and strategy-light here.
> Do you have a favorite 'Heavy' strategy game / what is it?
BattleCON: War of Indines. Shame I barely ever get to play it.
> Do you have a favorite 'Light / Abstract' Strategy game / what is it?
Innovation.
> What game that you've tried surprised you most with its strategic depth when it seemed like it might be lacking?
Can't think of any "decpetively simple" games at the moment.
> What light / Party games do you like when 'I can't brain today - I have the dumb!' ?
Chronicle, Abraca...what?, Monster My Neighbor
> Anything on your 'must buy soon' list?
BattleCON: Devastation of Indines, probably.
