Its been almost 2 decades and three editions since Exalted's original release. It arguably has retained some popularity but, naturally, the bloom is at least withered off the rose from its heyday (when it often dominated -several- threads on rpg.net (not unlikely due to several of the moderators at the time working for its producers or at least cutting checks from them but that's another thread...).
I was and am a fan and I am still running a slow PBEM (using a Frankenstein's monster of house rules mot easily summed up by “avoid rolling dice if at all possible” philosophy) Despite a ton of issues with it, its mechanics and staff, the game still holds a place in my heart.
I wanted to ask how others on this site felt about it, if they feel anything at all. It seems like the remaining Exalted fandom on rpg.net is as touchy, short tempered and, frankly, elitist as Hell in their interactions (IMO) the game mechanics, art, 'fluff' etc are all perfect for everyone and if you have a problem with anything, well, that on you and your poor taste.
The Pub seems more measured in general response and attitude. Posters are passionate about what the like and don't but get their undies in a bunch over it and can actually discuss things about gaming will maintaining some maturity and perspective.
So, how do folks on the rpgpub.com feel about Exalted after all these years? Any played it, still playing it? Wouldn't play it if someone offered them a 1000 bucks and free bacon cheeseburgers every game?
