In this episode, we talk about our various experiences with organized play campaigns in other games, and we wonder aloud about whether such a thing could ever have a home in Exalted.
 Also, this is the final episode of The Deliberative Podcast.  Thank you all so much for going on this journey with us!  Now go forth and bring righteousness to the world as you know best!

The Deliberative Episode 23: Could Organized Play Work in Exalted?

In this episode, we talk about the various examples of two-dot artifacts that we have in print up to this point, and then we discuss how to go about making your own!  Why should you care about two-dot artifacts?  Because they are potentially the coolest part of the game, of course!  We each make one just to show you how awesome they are!  Also, we react to a particularly crazy man on the message machine!

In this episide, we talk through everything we've ever been told about Liminals - from the core to the Liminal Preview document released during the EX3 Kickstarter!  We debate whether or not they are a good fit for the game and setting, who this mysterious Dark Mother could be, and we discuss how such characters could be used in a game as a PC, Ally, or Antagonist.  We also try to answer a listener question about creating epic cities!

In this episode, we have a debate about the role of ancient history in your Exalted game.  Should you tell new players about it right up front, or should you let them learn it as you go along?  Are there even any right answers?  We also answer a listener question about the power levels of the various Exalt types and how they stack up against each other!

Best place to get Exalted information and news

I've never played Exalted but I love this podcast! Let me explain. After being immersed in the World of Darkness series of games (Vampire, Werewolf, Changeling, etc) I heard about Exalted. I stumbled across The Deliberative and tunes into an episode to learn more about the game. I don't know if I'll ever find the time to play or run a game in Exalted but I really dig listening to The Deliberative. They should rename their show The Exuberant because their passion for the game is palpable. They know their stiff and have brilliant ideas on how to run the game and run characters. And they have loads of fun in each episode and so will you.

Exuberant!!!

The Deliberative

This week we discuss the reveal of the name of the Lunars book, as well as all things Lunar and awesome!
 Our feature discussion is about the role of Sorcery in Exalted, and how it differs from the magic and spells are presented in other games.  We challenge each other (and the audience, if they're game!) to do a bit of design work.  Will you take the challenge with us?  Email your creations to thedeliberativepodcast@gmail.com!
 We round out the episode with the first voice clip sent to us by a listener!

In this episode, we have the honor of being able to sift through all of the new Lunar goodness from the second wave playtest!  The hype is real!  Third Edition Lunars are incredible!  And when we can finally pull ourselves away from the awesomeness for a few minutes, we head over to the message machine and interact with all of the people who have sent us messages in the last couple of weeks.

 In this first part of "Trouble in a Pair of Dice" an unlikely group of heroes play a backroom game of Stones in the one-horse town of Wanderer's Gulch, deep in the South of Creation.

Wyld Shape Episode 1: Trouble in a Pair of Dice - Part 1

In this episode, we comb through the massive amount of Exalted news that we received this week, from Exigents: Up from the Ashes, to Across the Eight Directions, to tantalizing Lunar goodness!
 We also take a super-important question from a listener about how to make your Exalted game EPIC.  Do you have other advice that we missed?  Let us know by sending us a recording of yourself providing your bit of wisdom!

The Deliberative Episode 7: Make Exalted EPIC!

In this episode, we share some personal heartache experienced when we collectively made the wrong choice about whether or not to use battle groups.  And we use that mistake as a teachable moment to talk about the four different 'types' of combat in Exalted: individual, battle groups, trivial opponents, and 'skip it'.
 We also answer a listener's question about managing limit gain as the Storyteller in the form of a debate!
 Special note: There is a decently lengthy ridiculous argument about how to pronouce a certain person's name included after the outro music.  Corey would like it to be known to all the interwebs that he was, in fact, exactly correct.
