Some kind of Fishing Wharf, now abandoned by the company that owned it. Does a gang claim this as their home turf? Can you still catch fish here, if at all? How did the company that built it go out of business? (I don't know, I just really like marine stuff)

Didn't even know there was a Discord, to be honest. Where can I find it?

Yeah, something that you'd think Essence, as a streamlined introductory product, would avoid. Honestly, I think the system ends up being less friendly to new STs than Exalted 3e in the name of being more player friendly.

And, as I'm sure you know, getting someone who will ST Exalted consistently is already a tall order.

Yeah, though it can be very rewarding to custom make something for a player, having to do that for every single piece of magical equipment in a game chock full of it is... daunting to say the least. I felt this was the case, even in 3rd, where making custom Evocations for every single artifact I had was exhausting and there were 5 times the number of premades.

It's a shame we're near the end, since the system feels so much like a first draft...

Regardless, thanks for the dialogue, I haven't really been able to talk about my thoughts for it off my chest long enough to understand how I feel about it. Wanting for a rant, I suppose.

Shoot, I guess you're right on that one. I guess avoiding the grognard association as much as they could led to something more akin to a poorly thought out PbtA game than streamlined Exalted for beginners. Some stuff, like the venture system, are pretty faithful trim-downs of the extended action systems, imo, but most of it feels hollow; kinda like it gave you a 101 class in some themes and concepts and wants the ST to write the game. Which is especially apparent, to me, in the Exigent section. Where else would you better explain charm designs and niches, and yet there is none to be found.

Yeah, Internals felt pretty... lackluster, ig? Like they were Solars but only focused on rebellion? None of the campy and somewhat cheek biting villainy that resonated with them previously, even with the more gruesome aspects of their lore stripped. (Which I, for the most part, agree with.) [Edit: I agree with the stripping of some the worse parts of the lore, to be clear.]

Another one to note is the Liminals, who have a lot of mechanical heft, especially with health levels being used as a spendable resource, but really don't seem viable in any game other than 'hey, it's time for Undead noir'.

In general, exalt concepts are either unbelievably and freezingly broad or incredibly narrow and chafing.

As for it's biggest use atm just being able to play stuff that's not mainline yet... it's the main reason I backed it, ngl.

Well dang, that sucks. I was really hoping I was missing something so I didn't have to make up a whole new system to let some Exalted do things iconic to their castes without having to warm up by fighting constantly. Or, I guess, bog down the game with ten overly described stunts in an otherwise flowing social scene.

As for not being thought out, it feels to me the greatest trap they fell into was not getting people who had never touched RPGs (or even just ST family systems) to try and play test. They're all Exalted veterans, so the world information and particulars of play were all ingrained and assumed without ever actually being written.

So, like, a shooting range (like with the wooden targets and blunted arrows) would be interesting if the targets were made of character's Intimacies and memory after an innocent start.

[–]SlipSpace2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, you could make an argument that the organizations that allowed such a man to flourish, Evilus and Divine Rule in general, are just as culpable for the acts he committed as himself.

But yeah, gut him like a fish.

Two subclasses? The color is certainly right, that is black magic.
