You know what I know almost nothing about? Exalted.
When I think of Exalted, the first thing I think of is this eye-popping subcultural punchline:
The second thing I think about is people verbally (perhaps even physically) rending each other asunder over the 3rd edition of it. The third thing I think about is the many complaints about having to roll fishing nets full of dice. The fourth thing I think about is a meme about some Exalted PCs being able to kill other people with the concept of children's joy and other abstract weapons. The fifth thing I think about is numerous unflattering comparisons to late-stage 3rd edition D&D.
My lack of knowledge on the subject has left me out of many interesting gaming conversations, sort of how my lack of knowledge of motor vehicles leaves me unable to interact with some relatives. The last time I really cared about cars was when I was trying to collect these guys (the race car was a real female dog to find in Hong Kong for some reason):
Living in New York City means I haven't had to touch a steering wheel since my driver's license in 1999, which is fine by me. I save a lot of money on vehicle ownership, though if I ever have to move somewhere else in the country I'm probably screwed. Then again, self-driving cars are apparently just on the horizon, so if I'm willing to trust K.I.T.T. I may successfully skip that entire aspect of life.
So, how do you folks feel about these things?
