There is a fucking RPG thread.

Never heard of Exalted.

It's weeaboo shit.

Not true. It's much more closely based on Epic Poems like the Illiad, Oddessy, Ramayana, and the Epic of Gilgamesh.

It's about humans becoming avatars for the powers of the Gods.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I dunno...the "community" seems to have developed its own moron fucking language about shit.  If it's not "fiddly," then it's "dripping with theme".  Seriously, the biggest fucking problem with wargaming are gamers.  Fucking autistic programmers and engineers everywhere, getting fed the fuck up with it.  Can't we just pew-pew each others' counters, please?

Don't forget to be an assburger and clip your counters.

No doubt.

I was thinking they were meaning too many housekeeping tasks, recording stuff, or similar to GDW's White Death/Suez 73. Factors on the back with strength counters. Dunno, shut never bothered me. Also back in the day if there was a rule issue we didn't stop the game to wait for a reply by mail. Just came to a consensus and drove on.

FOUR CORNERS PYLE
FOUR FUCKING CORNERS ON YOUR COUNTERS

Habbaku

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

:lol:  I know one of the main Exalted writers personally.  I am glad he has nothing to do with any of the art choices.
