>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. There were a lot of lesbians though. 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.

>>
>>47483510
He does have a point though. It doesn't really break anything to let people use all this ranged support for thrown weapons when they could just as easily get a bow.

At best there might be some odd loophole or bonus with it counting as both a melee and ranged weapons, but that seems doubtful.

What would you say if GW separated oldcrons and newcrons into two armies with their own codices?
126 posts and 21 images submitted.
>>
>>47483459
I'd say that's retarded. They could just fluff it out a bit and say both type still exist in their own capacity.

Though, I could see GW doing that because they sell so well. Try to milk more money out of people. Dark Necrons and Regular Necrons.
>>
You can still have the oldcrons with new codex. Maynarkh Dynasty from forge world, for example. NEWCRONS ARE YOUR DUDES, FLUFF THEM HOWEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT
>>
>>47483524
You can't though. Even if you make your Necrons oldcrons, and there is not a single example of them as such in 40k anymore mind you, the C'tan are still sharded.
And the atmosphere of unstoppable killing machines is lost when 90% of people think of Trazyn and his wacky antics due to stupid /tg/ maymays anyway.

How has fantasy changed in your opinion over the years? Do you like the direction it's gone?
383 posts and 38 images submitted.
>>
It's diverged into so many different paths that you can easily find something that appeals to you, no matter how insanely specific it is.
>>
Fantasy hasn't changed enough. It's stagnated.
Some elves, some dwarves, some orcs.

And all bland Western fantasy too. How about going even just a TINY bit further east? Historical Constantinope/Byzantium was radical. And that's before even touching cool shit like the golden age of Islam.

I hate that in the recently released 'Dark Eras' for Chronicles of Darkness, we could have gotten 'Book of Judges' Hunter. Monster slaying in the ancient Middle-East?
but lolnope people voted for Japan instead.
>>
>>47483314

The "golden age" of islam is incredibly overblown. Do you even know what elements of these cultures you would want to adopt into fantasy?

Random question, but would species/gender dysphoria exist in a setting where it is possible to fully polymorph into just about anything?

We have a "that guy" in our group who brought it up and it had us thinking.
142 posts and 20 images submitted.
>>
>>47485410
Sure. Maybe even more so. Polymorph into something else so you don't have to be you, never turn back again. Or, because you can polymorph, become addicted to it, because you can always change this little thing and perfect isn't real. Like someone addicted to plastic surgery
>>
Gender dysphoria didn't exist until it was published in the DSM-5 three odd years ago. Not that they aren't useful designations but it's a nuanced sense in which they 'exist'.
>>
>>47485410
OK, "species dysphoria" could be pretty funny in the right campaign.

Recently: You beat Geno! But Team Imperium has infiltrated the arena and have agents everywhere.

General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.

Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as it comes up.

Combat involves rolls! Once there's a clear vote winner, we roll for the move accuracy/crit/secondary effect. Usually it's just three 1d100s. Sometimes you can get a modifier from circumstances, so be creative! Add flair, do tricks with moves, mess with terrain, whatever! This is not a video game.

Shinobi Quest #6

This quest takes place within the lands of the Five Great Shinobi Nations (aka Narutoverse) starting roughly around the beginning of the original series. The world of this quest remains similar to the original, with slight but notable differences in certain areas, based upon the passage of time from a single slightly altered event.

(It’s a goddamn Naruto Quest, you bastards. Have fun, participate, and write in when you feel inclined. Most of the outcomes of this quest will be determined by you, the players. Critiques and questions are always welcome, as my knowledge of the weeby shit is not all encompassing.)

Last thread, Tsuki Norihime finished training under Danzo to learn the basics of the Shadow Clone Technique- although she still has much to learn. After testing how long she could last, her stamina increased as a result of her training. After finishing her training, she opted to visit Hinata Hyuuga; she two girls took this time to head to the local spa and bath for relaxation after a tough day of training.

We rejoin her at breakfast, the following morning.

Father, Maru, Danzo and yourself sit at the long table, enjoying a bit of breakfast before you head out to meet your team. Today is a mission day; your first with Nori, Hinata, and Ebisu-sensei.

Although you aren’t expecting much out of it. It has to be some sort of D-ranked mission- they aren’t example the best tests of your abilities.

“Are you worried about your mission today, Tsuki?” your father asks, his voice pulling you back into reality.

Haaa, this place is far too classy for a girl like me, also the old timer wasn't lying, there isn't any coffee in this place. Lots of fancy looking knick nacks and other extravegances, sure...but no coffee. It's far too cold as well, which isn't helping me stay awake, in fact it's almost making me pass into my nightmares, if I still wasn't so burning mad over what just happened.

I groan, and sit up a little straighter in the white and gold couch the much more politer old folks let me rest in. Ochamu stares at me from the side, looking a little shooken up and scared as she rubs the bandage over her hand, as Ajax sits on her lap without trying to rip her legs to ribbons for once.

"You okay Adela?" She asks meekly

"No "I yawn tiredly "Don't have any coffee, how can I be fine without the one thing that keeps me awake"

"No I mean" she says quietly, glancing around at all of the well dressed men and women around us, who are gossiping like a bunch of hens...like they don't even care about the fact they were just prisoners of some pirates "You're pretty scary when you're angry and I was just...worried you were self conscious about it is all"

She's lying

"I'm always scary" I say smiling, making her smirk slightly before she goes back to frowning "Pete just made me a bit scarier is all"

"Yeah" Yotshi says as he walks into the room, cleaning his hands "Pretty sure he won't do that again, if he's smart"

"Which he's not" I say flatly, trying to make ochamu laugh or giggle in the very least "Where's jack anyways"

"Pretending to be you, messing with pete" he says calmly as he sits next to me "hey, don't look at me like that, I tried to stop him but"

"Let me guess, his devil fruit scared you off?" Ochamu groans, shaking her head around, her messy mop of hair following it

"Okay, to be honest adela, I'm more worried about how you...with the rope"

"That I hung him for a few seconds?" I ask glancing at her, making her yelp and hide her face behind her slightly too large hands "Well he hurt you, and I don't like seeing my friends hurt, especially by scum like him"

"And you let jack do whatever he wants to me" Yotshi grumbles

"Well, you bring that down on yourself, lets be honest here" I say shaking my head "You know he doesn't like being teased"

"I can't help myself" He whimpers "my mouth just moves on its own"

"Oh" Ochamu says, her face as red as a cherry "Still it wasn't pleasant to watch...if you have to do it again, can you at least warn me first"

"Sure thing Ochamuuuu" I Say softly, as Ajax licks the big girls face as she smiles "Now if only I find some coffee around here"

"Oh you don't need any of that" the old geezer's fat wife says, pinching my cheek "You just need some of my pie, I'll go get you some, can't fight evil on an empty stomach now can you"

"Mrs Guttibul" I groan, trying to get her hand off of my face, but she doesn't let go when I try to brush it off, so I just pinch her cheek to try and get her to let go "I've told you, an empty stomach keeps me awake"

"oooh, you're just being grumpy" She says, finally letting go of my cheek.

I need to get away from these people.

What do I do?
[] Go track down Bellary lass and her crew
[] hunt down Taz and the crew he's part of
[] wait for baldrik and his group to get over here
[] just leave my friends to watch them and wander around for coffee
[] check on the rawling brothers

__________

You are Sarah Karlsen, Valkyrie of Sweden, and daughter of Odin.

Recovery from the prison assault goes well. Anna has returned to the land of the living-awake and alive, if a bit fatigued- and your own strength is recovering nicely. Most of Tobias' men have returned to the ship, which has been forced away until things calm down. Though it's not obvious, the local government has spent the past several days reeling from the hit you've given them.

So, for the time being, you're stuck in this temple until further notice.

The library within it is surprisingly large. Books from across the ages are stocked in its shelves in a dozen different languages. You were never the reader like your sister, so rather than doing the actual reading you've decided to help find new ones for her.

You only wish the help was as considerate as you were.

"A little to the left," You say.

"As the lady commands," Tobias murmurs beneath you, moving you closer to the shelf to your left. "Tell me, again, why you couldn't use the ladder?"

"it's easier this way," You explain, running a hand over the books as you scan the titles. "Aren't you supposed to be a soldier, lieutenant? Quit complaining."

"Your heels are digging into me like daggers, I can complain all I want. Can't you fly?"

"And stir up all the dust in here? I think no-got it!" You call, grabbing the book you've been searching for..

"Wonderful," Emma answers dryly, face still buried in the last book you gave her. "Put it with the rest, if you please."

You look down expectantly, and with exasperation, Tobias raises his arms and places his hands on your hips, lifting you off his shoulder and setting you back down on the floor.

"Many thanks, good sir," You say, giving a small courtesy.

"What exactly is the Doctor hoping for you to find in these?" Tobias asks, ignoring your antics.

"He didn't seem so sure himself," Your sister admits, looking up as the two of you approach. "Sergeant Doren told him about the library, and since he wasn't allowed off the ship, he radioed and asked me to do some digging in his stead. He gave me a few titles and authors to go with. Mostly books relating to the origins of Valkyries, their part in the Great War, and our wars with the Teutonic Order."

You are Kusajishi Riku, Captain of the Seireitei Court Guard's Ninth Division. After awaking from nearly two weeks of unconsciousness induced by overexertion while sealing an unstable rift between Hueco Mundo and the living world, you've finally tracked down former Captain Hirako Shinji and his vizard comrades in order to check on your nephew.

The vizards were hiding under an abandoned warehouse just outside Karakura town, and after a repulsing a rather rude welcome with a show of force you, Apacci, and Rukia were led to meet with the Captains and Lieutenants who were driven into exile one hundred years ago. These are faces you haven't seen in a very long time, belonging to what should be kindred spirits. You are after all in the same position, that of shinigami who regardless of their own intents have obtained hollow powers: despite not having been especially close before the incident, you share that same experience in common which has shaped you all into who and what you are now.

So why does it feel like the distance between you has only grown?

“Can't you... you know,” you gesture vaguely to Shinji. “Control your hollow powers properly?”

“The hell are you talkin' about?” the blonde former-shinigami replies with a toothy scowl. “You're not makin' any sense.”

“I mean you're dominating your hollows to don those masks, right?” you ask, remembering how you too used to call on Rosa before coming to your present agreement. “You haven't figured out a way to cooperate with them, even with Urahara's advice?”

“No,” Shinji admits with a look of slowly dawning comprehension. “Nothin' like that. Why, what have you done?”

What HAVE you done? It seems that's a question you've never really asked yourself, presuming that since you, Yoruichi, and all of the arrancar you've worked with have come to roughly similar “end points” regarding the form of their sealed hollow powers that was simply the logical result.

What is an “inner hollow”? Rosa is the personification of your former selves' rage and memories, and by all accounts has always been with you in some fashion even if you were not aware of her. Yoruichi's hollow seems to be some manner of primal instinct that she herself has struggled to describe, but with whom she was able to reach a tacit agreement. It has to be “tacit” because according to her Raijūsenkō is incapable of speech, and although it can understand when Yoruichi speaks to it she confided in you that it “barely listens”.

Apacci, Halibel, and the rest are another situation still. They seemed perfectly able to channel their “hollow” abilities into swords, and in doing so began to take much more clearly human form. Even before they did so it's your understanding that the hollow evolutionary process moves increasingly towards that sort of form as one progresses to Vasto Lorde. Forget “inner hollows”, sometimes you have to wonder about those processes that affect “regular” hollows.

But this handful of shinigami apparently have never progressed beyond 'basic' hollowfication. What about them is different, or is it merely a question of opportunity? And what does this mean for your nephew Ichigo, and his future?

That order.

>>Explain the situation with Rosa, see how they react?

After that quite dangerous encounter with the shinigami calling himself Aizen, you and Neliel head back to Vanaheim to relay the news to the others.
On the way back you can see Neliel looking at you, clearly concerned.

"What?"
You ask her.

She shakes her head.
"Nothing.
I just thought I was clear before!
You can't just throw yourself out like that as a sacrifice!"

"Really now?
So you are saying there was an alternative?"

"That's not-"

"Whether you like it or not, that man meant a danger to everyone.
So either I submit to him or he kills us all."

That managed to silence her.
Even Neliel is aware of the severity of the situation.

You sigh a little and give her a reassuring look.
"Look, I apologize for that.
I shouldn't have insulted you before.
It's just... I have a lot on my mind right now.
So for what it's worth: I'm sorry."

The rest of your journey goes by in complete silence.
When you get back to Vanaheim you can already feel the presence of your friends gathering at the base of the quartz tree.
As you land you can see them waving at you.

"Hi there guys!
So how fucked are we?"
Pesche asks the two of you about the situation.

"So I take it you felt that..."
Neliel replies.

"Sense it?
I could taste it!
Don'tcha know?"

You ignore the clowns and point at the large tree to signal your desire to gather there.
When everyone, including your friends and Alistair get to the large gathering hall carved into the tree, you take your seats at the large table in the middle.
Normally you use this large piece of furniture to play Liars Dice once a week but the atmosphere is a little lighter now that your lives are in danger and you aren't at each others throats because of the game.
After a lengthy explanation of the news everyone is sitting there in dead silence, just simply staring down at the table.

It's Alistair who breaks the silence with his question.
"So you're telling me you accepted that offer?
Why?"

You raise your head and respond as such:
"You're saying this like I had a choice.
It was either bowing before him or facing death."

"Oh yeah?
And how are you planning on becoming a Vasto Lorde then?
Because last time I checked there were only a handful of them around despite everyones intentions."

He got you there.
Although you probably have plenty of time since it's doubtful that Aizen knows how long becoming a Vasto takes.

"I'll just have to give it my best shot.
If it doesn't work you guys can still make a run for it before shit hits the fan."
You reply.

Silence falls once more and everyone keeps staring at the other participants, hoping someone would say something.
And it appears that Neliel has something on her mind.

"I was actually thinking about joining Aizens cause..."

Everyone looks at her confused as heck.
"Come one Miss Neliel, don't joke like that!"
Pesci is the first to respond to her with an awkward laugh.
But after seeing that Nel isn't laughing he quickly pipes down.

"You remember Dordoni, right?
He looked almost like a regular human.
Think about how better things would be if we all reclaimed a part of our past lives.
If we could call ourselves human once more.
We wouldn't be mere monsters anymore."

You crash your fist into the table when she finishes and the large slab of quartz cracks under your fist.
You look at Neliel with anger in your eyes.
"Monsters?
Look around you Neliel!
We built this place up from nothing because we believed we could live proper lives even if we were such deformed creatures.
All that we wished for was a normal life and despite the difficulties we achieved just that!
We, the monsters!"

But she doesn't seem phased by that.
"I understand you Kaizar.
You are proud of what you made.
This place is a safe haven for those that wish for peace, yes.
But even if you oppose the idea of serving Aizen, you can't deny that it has benefits."
>>
You look at your friends and comrades all of whom look at you expectantly.

"So let me guess...
All of you want to become arrancars, don't you?"

"Don't get me wrong Kaizar, we are behind you one hundred percent!
But it'd be nice to be human again..."
Alex speaks up giving voice to the collective opinion of the group.

And upon closer inspection almost all of them seem to be yearning for just that.
A human body.

Neliel already made up her mind and you probably won't be able to stop her but you might be able to influence the others.

What do you wish to do now?
