Exalted!

That's more of a low-temperance, high-temperance thing than an Exalted, not-Exalted thing. There are plenty of Exalts who are ascetic monks or Communism-bots or that guy who occasionally fucks off to live in sackcloth for a while because they just can't stand!!! how decadent!!! everyone is!!!!!

Hmm, good point.

But that still sounds more like normal society, where we just barely tolerate each other to get on our lives. The Imperium is like the opposite of that.

Nobody tolerates anybody or gets to live their lives? That sounds like the Imperium, all right. (Seriously though, I'm not sure what you mean.)

I really do hope that list of martial arts is the canon one and not Morke screwing around. I would so be down for having a carnivorous beard full of bats.

I'm contemplating an Eclipse accountant with a focus on Crane style when 3rd finally comes out.

Spent too much time near the Wyld?

That sword he's making does look like it's got a few exotic ingredients.

Ok, just a question, is there any of the fluff about elemental dragons? I trying in wiki and there is only names and...that it.

Also...what the hell are the game of divinity? Seriously

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

Seriously Addicting

"Coffee! Coffeecoffeecoffee! Coffee! Not as strong as Meth-amphetamine, but it lets you keep your teeth!"

Kuuuuuuuukl A

Ok, short answer: Cosmic Xbox / Crack the Incarnae are all addicted to.

Long answer: The Games of Divinity are something the Primordials created to amuse themselves once they were done with Creation. It's a game so transcendent and rapturous that lesser beings can barely comprehend it, and any that attempt to play it are compelled to do so again and again. Mortals have been known to waste away watching recordings of a turn.

It's so good it got The Unconquered Sun hooked, and he has perfect Temperance.

that it? it feel....lacking, I was expecting more of it.

Far well now about my first question...how much fluff there is about the 5 great dragons?, any of it?

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

So far as I'm aware the only real lore about Mela and the gang is the Immaculate propaganda in the DB book and Upright Soldier.

There's some stuff in the books about Aspect Books for the respective Dragon Bloods, such as Sextes Jylis being really popular with the peasants because he's responsible for how big the next harvest is going to be and such.

The bit about the Games addicting even Sol's Temperance, if I be rememberin' correctly, has to do with the Games being built before the Primordials installed Temperance.

Another explanation I saw was that they're pretty much the only thing in existence that can challenge him.

Like, everything else he can just win at without really trying, but he'll make a move at the game and it's perfect. No flaws. And then Luna takes her go and she pulls ahead again.

Just as a note.

The devs at the time the stories were being considered were busy with their noses to the grindstone to finish the book. (They're replacing all the Page xx things with actual numbers. This is harder than it sounds-especially when inserting them changes the pagination)

The book was recalled and they are taking out the most/more egregiously bad entries.

For those who might think that the leak will still be good come release day?

Top. Kek.

Stuck inside a tower, come and find me.

The stories? What, like the chapter fiction? Could we lose the Physician smoking a bowl?

What are you kekking about? The leak is a good playable system already.

You think they're going to significantly redo most charms? Puh-lease.

Is it really that? The stories anthology (with all its setting violation) was set out to sail long before the mentioned pagination started, while the chapter fictions weren't that crazy bad.

Don't point arrows at me like I know anything. I'm just confuzzled and asking for information.

The anthology is the one being reviewed at the request of the devs, due to their being busy during the time it was originally being considered and their own request. There are several changes to mechanics, clarifications and so forth. I'm not sure what all of it is, but a very reputable buddy of mine has indicated that several key things have changed. I might also point out that the leaks were early this year and it's now October. Plenty of time for things to get looked at and overhauled, some in due to commentary stemming from the leak-so yes.

It's meaningfully changed to the point where you do not want to rely on the leak. It was not and was never intended to be the final version of the text.

Plus, why would you not want something properly laid out and easy on the eyes, as opposed to the straight up doc presentation of the leak?

Oh and real character sheets. Those might be useful.

Just be aware that at the very least someone who likes the leak or Exalted in general should consider getting the PDF at least, if not a hardback or POD version of it.

People who like the link or Exalted in general have a reason to buy the proper version all legal-like anyway, because it making money allows for more Exalted stuff like the leak.
