The thing to bear in mind is that your fee not only handles the payments to your game runner and the set-up costs, but benefits our friends at the Bodhana Group, one of our favorite charities!
This time around, we left that up to the individual game runner, which is why they vary. Now, you’ll notice that those games have all different prices set for joining. Check those out below in the Conventions section.Īnd we still have a whole bunch of regular online games that folks can sign up for: With the second Onyx Path Virtual Gaming Convention coming up in just a few weeks now, we have nicely done up lists for both our Onyx Path Panels, as well as our awesome Actual Play games. There’s a reference to Google, if ever there was one! If you don’t want to wait until Thursday for a real example of Exalted: Essence play, our friends at Vorpal Tales are running an Essence game that should run each Tuesday throughout the KS campaign and starts on Tuesday night, the 25th, at 9pm EDT on Twitch:Įxalted: Essence team leader Dixie Cochran will be playing in that game, and I hear that the group is extremely varied in terms of which kinds of Exalted will be featured! Like He-Man meets the Groovy-Ghoulies varied. I also hear that all of the named Exalted types will be presented in the book as playable EX: Essence character types, and have been created with their later appearances in Exalted 3rd in mind. Basically, a lot of ways to enjoy it – without breaking your back as you haul the rulebook around now that gaming in person may be a thing again!
#EXALTED 2ND EDITION DRAGON BLOODED HOW TO ABUSE THE RULES PDF#
Plus, with the Kickstarter campaign, we’ll be offering both a Deluxe version as we have with the EX3 core, and the Dragon-Blooded and Lunars “fat splats”, for those who want to keep their collections in sync, but also a traditionally printed hardcover that we are hoping the KS will help us to get into stores.Īnd of course, there will be PDF and PoD versions, too. Not a “rules-lite” experience, which is pretty subjective anyway, but lighter in terms of the rules in the core. So, Exalted: Essence is here to provide a lighter experience and an easier entry point to the epic panoply of Exalted 3rd. We have a healthy audience for Exalted 3rd who are well-served by the game as it was designed, and we’re not at all interested in taking that away from them.īut it does look like an awful lot to get into when you look at that 650+ page core. And the thing is, that “stuff” is not insurmountable, or even un-fun, particularly for experienced Exalted fans – but even if you are new to the game, it’s not necessarily a deal-breaker. Which resulted in a really big book that built a lot of interlocking system “stuff” in order to cover a lot of concerns the original team had based on their years of experience.
EX3 was designed to open up the setting and fix a bunch of the systems problems inherited from previous editions. And it was never designed to be somebody’s first TTRPG.
Because let’s face it: that is one honkin’-big core rulebook. What it was designed to do is to give new players a chance at an easier and less intimidating on-ramp to the Exalted 3rd play experience. Over the years, we considered and rejected both options.Įither of those two options aren’t really what we want EX:Essence to be. We’ll get into more detail on what’s in EX:Essence in the weeks to come, and, as usual with our KSs, we’ll be releasing the finished text during the course of the campaign so that backers will have the whole darn thing after the KS is over.īut today, I just want to mention that the need to create this project isn’t a need to replace Exalted 3rd‘s core. I’m just so thrilled to finally be able to give everyone the time for the Exalted: Essence KS: May 27th at 2pm Eastern US time! BECAUSE THE EXALTED: ESSENCE KICKSTARTER IS THIS WEEK!
