Oligopsony posted:I feel like the biggest thing that's changed between Exalted and my tastes in this time is that the effort it expects me to put in to get fun now looks overwhelming, actually. Grognardy OSR games look way more manageable. (A huge part of me still wants to run Exalted, though, somehow.) Play Godbound maybe?

How does slot allotment for Gencon work; is it just companies and organizations that can submit stuff, or do individuals do it, too? If it's the latter, I'm kinda surprised that no one is running anything.

I love Godbound, but its basic experience is a lot different than 1st- and 2nd-edition Exalted (which I have a lot of experience with), and I suspect 3rd edition as well (which I have little experience with, admittedly).

reignonyourparade posted:Glorantha actually has TWO native systems at this point. Classic Runequest and much more fate-esque Heroquest. Plus an official 13th Age adaptation. Does anyone have any experience with the 13th Age adaptation? The baked in pseudo-setting for 13th Age never did it for me, but I do like me some Orlanthi.

That's totally fair! However, clearly enough people are willing to hurl themselves into the breach; it's already funded, and one of the limited levels is already gone.

Right now, it looks like it's fun to play a Dragon-blooded of just about any kind, or a Solar...martial artist or sorcerer. Who avoids their native charmset. That sprawling charm cloud is an insane nightmare, especially with any sort of new players involved.

Nessus posted:I believe they explicitly said that there will be alchemicals in Creation proper and that the focus will be on those Alchemicals rather than on the ones in Autocthon. I don't think any of that is being removed, but it's more "you can be an Alchemical-type Exalt without necessarily dealing in this entire other sidebranch of a setting." Which I think makes sense especially if they're trying to focus on Creation proper. This is broadly correct about Alchemicals in Essence. Next week's manuscript preview on Tuesday should cover the Exalted chapter, and there will be more information there.

Ash Rose posted:I only kinda follow this thread, but I am getting the impression that Essence is a bit parred down? Do we have any more solid info on that because honestly that would be the kind of thing that might get me to interact with Exalted again. also vaguely confused by talk of 4e. The goal is for it to be lighter and easier to use than 3e. Resolution and subsystems have been streamlined, charm selection is hopefully less daunting, and there's lots of advice and instruction for new groups and players. I've seen people peg it at around CoD sans Mage levels of complexity. As far as I know, 4e still isn't anywhere near the horizon.

NutritiousSnack posted:It's pretty easy to guess though this is going to be a dry-run for what that's going to look like in the future publishing market. That has not been how it's been seen on the freelancer side of things. If it's successful that's possible, but it's not an intentional trial balloon; a lot of people just wanted a more accessible version of the game, and a lot of people wanted to make one. quote:So just a white woman with red hair and a beer stein being there is a thing I can't speak to most of the art beyond generalities, Janest, based on page 631 in the core.

Mel Uran declined due to health issues; largely, my understanding is that the biggest issue is time and scheduling for many of the others.

There was a lot of in-house tests for various iterations of the combat system. Between Overwhelming, weapons tags, Hardness being reduced by coordinated attacks, and the fact that attacks can be flurried with other actions while Build Power can't, and the fact that combative characters wanted high combat abilities for decisive attacks and gambits, we didn't find Build Power dominating the the stage. There are some versioning issues, unfortunately, because the testing documents got updated pretty regularly. For instant, Defense is a Difficulty and not a penalty/success reducer.

Dice converted to successes from any source count as successes, so barring specifically cap breaking effects, the maximum bonus to a static value like defense is +5.

LGD posted:hmmm You'll see the charms and equipment before too long. The test we ran found that the way dice and success adding work generally means that things happen pretty fast in Essence combat. However, because of the need to build Power and how soak works, it usually results in a rapidly escalating fight that hits a high tempo rather than someone getting pasted immediately. I'm sure there will be breaking points we didn't see, simply due to the number of eyes on it now, but characters attempting to max out their pools and swing for the fences ends up working out pretty well.

Like I said, if you don't like the charms that's totally a matter of taste, but Liminals weren't "half-assed," and defining their themes and abilities wasn't a 20 minute spitballing session. I'm not sure where you're getting there being "so little" of them versus the other Exalted types; Essence a hell of a lot of ground to cover, but I got as much space to work on them as the other charm writers did. The split between Universal charms with modes and Exalt-typed charms meant that some (Liminals especially) got shorted earlier in the process, so more got added in post-KS development. I can't speak to those since I didn't write either set, just the Liminal charms, but they certainly received as much effort and time as anything else in Essence or the larger line.

I'm a bit puzzled because I don't think it was ever advertised as "super-simple rules light." The kickstarter uses the words "streamlined," and "paints in bold, bright colors, showcasing epic tales of action, intrigue, and heroism" but the word "light" isn't even on the campaign's page.
