After Storyteller-type systems became more popular they started selling 10-packs of dice, 6 or so of which were d10's. But before then? Not so much.

Well, I love the setting and the concept, but Exalted 1st was broken to hell and gone, and Exalted 2nd was...well, it fixed those problems but introduced new ones, and the addenda to the rules made it this -horrid- kluge. So yeah, I really do want to see what they're doing with Exalted 3rd? But the fact that they're adding in Brawl again doesn't inspire confidence. Worse, I'm a Sidereal nut, so I'm going to have to wait ages to see how they will be updated.

everything is false
everything is a LIE
the final days have come
now
let everything be destroyed
