Me too! I love that it saves drafts and works really well with mobile devices.Highlight text and a small tip will appear that says "reply"; you can also scroll to another post, click reply, and that will be quoted to your post reply text box, multiple times. I have grown to like this forum's software a lot.
I always loved the idea of the lotus.So, any thoughts about either of these things that I've casually wanted to know more about given how people seem to go gaga over them?

I drive a 12-year-old, 6-cylinder Infiniti G30, and it is a great automobile.And for something a little more sensible, the Infiniti Q70:

If you're going to go Japanese you've got to go old schoolAre you referring to exalted and cars in general, or abyssals and Lotus'? I know very little about the latter.
I got into Exalted at E3, not E2, so I don't know much about the Abyssals. I know they're weaker than Solars in E3. I know they're undead, which means their lack of mechanical badassery when compared to Solars is balanced out by the cool factor. Because undead are always cool, and OP Exalted undead are even cooler.
But no Abyssal book yet. I may see one, someday. *looks hopefully at the horizon*
As for cars, I'm the only guy I know who doesn't drool over high-price, European sportscars. Not a fan.
I favor Japanese cars:
2017 Subaru SVX:
2015 Acura NSX
And for something a little more sensible, the Infiniti Q70:
That's number 6 on my list.....My favorite Lotus is the Super 7
I'm a civilian now (thank the gods)
That I don't miss at all about LA. Of course I stupidly moved somewhere with only slightly better traffic. But hey at least it's not currently on fire.I greatly enjoy Exalted...via the FREE 1e Quickstart.
I found it FAR more fun than the full game. I've run a couple short campaigns just using that booklet.
Some of the best money I've ever not spent on RPGs.
As for cars, I am into used sports cars (I get such great deals). I'm on my 3rd BMW Z series and I've done Mustangs in between. But I live in LA so the car is just for looks. Far too much traffic for speed to matter. Everything goes 0 to traffic jam.

Why no more popo for you?
I want to say do tell but really I don't think I want to know. It's more pleasant believing justice is roughly being served.I couldn't deal with the corruption.

As far as the setting/power level goes I find it and imitators to be not to my taste. Ultimately, if everyone and everything is awesome then nothing is awesome - it's the same reason why I find the later phases of Dragonball Z to be unwatchable. Everything gets escalated and cranked up to 11 to the point where nothing means anything any more. I get more excited about WFRP ratcatchers than I do about Exalts because I know that even though that ratcatcher is going to fail horribly, it's going to be an incident that gets remembered and talked about for generations to come, whilst whatever whizzy superhero mega-awesome thing that Exalt just did is going to get one-upped by another Exalt, probably in the next five minutes.
This resonates with me. Ever since returning to RPGs at a more mature age my games have been pending towards the ratcatcher end of the spectrum. I did run Godbound for a short time but nothing's quite as fun as running a game for underdog PCs seeing them triumph on will and wiles alone.
Inside your particular popo unit or within the system as a whole?

One thing I dislike about it is dice pools. It's one of the barriers that keeps me away from the WOD games in general, and in E3, you'll often find yourself throwing a lot of dice. Dice pools is one of my RPG pet peeves, so I tolerate it in E3.
I've replied to this on the Real Life and What's Happening thread. I'm happy to continue this discussion there, if you want.
I have high tolerance for dice-pool size, but I have heard Exalted is the most ridiculous in that regard. Surely we're not talking actual bowl-fulls, right?
Also, Exalts have an interesting weakness: the more energy they expend, the more they glow, to the point that your PC is a literally a mote of the Sun on the Earth giving off an energy signature sensed across the continent.
Sure, you're badass. You can chop up 10 Dragon-blooded...but you can't fight 100....and they will march a battalion across the land to get you.
Run demigod, run for your life.
And how many gallons to the mile will that do?Cars related.
Found my dream car: Knight XV SUV

Wow.7 MPG on a 40 gal. tank, from what I understand.
Compared to my old Mitsubishi which got something like 500 miles on a 20 gal tank.
Well, I can't argue with that! It's a damn fine looking vehicle.But whatevs. It ain't about efficiency or good choices; it's about cool!
You need to own a bigish boat. The semi displacement hulls over 35' often get less than a mile to the gallon but you are moving a condo at about 15mph for that fuel burnWow.
For reference, my tiny Hyundai supposedly gets 44mpg with an 11 gal tank, and I consider this to be *low* - my last car was about 60 (But it was diesel).
Well, I can't argue with that! It's a damn fine looking vehicle.
Yes, yes you areI grew up with GOSPs burning off natural gas that was not economical to collect. Fourty and sixty foot jets of flame make for powerful travel landmarks, day and night. But I never felt all that attached or empowered by motor vehicles or big explodey gouts of fire. I am a defective American,..
