Book Description

February 17, 2010

A Guide to the Great Maker's Champions

Designed by Autochthon before the Primordial War, the Alchemical templates inspired the Exalts fielded by the Incarnae against their creators. Yet, during that war, Autochthon heard the Great Curse directed by his slain Primordial brethren. As the First Age progressed, he watched as that Curse twisted the minds of the Exalted. Knowing it was only a matter of time before the Solars' growing paranoia was directed at him, the King of All Craftsman gathered thousands of worshipers inside himself and fled to Elsewhere. Within his very body, these mortals built a highly advanced civilization, and to preserve it, Autochthon finally built his prototype Champions. Ever since, the artificial Chosen of the Machine God have kept the Eight Nations safe. But as the long-dormant Autochthon's health deteriorates, the threats the Alchemicals face grow ever greater. Can these Exalted save their world-god, or has Autochthon's flight to Elsewhere only ensured his demise?

A character sourcebook for Exalted , Second Edition, featuring:
o Everything players and Storytellers need to generate Alchemical Exalted characters, including their Charms
o Details of the Great Maker's servants: the gods, elementals and automata of Autochthonia
o Rules for Autochthonian magitech and Alchemical protocols

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing!, February 26, 2010
By 
This review is from: Manual of Exalted Power: Alchemicals (Hardcover)
This book is a very thorough and well written book.

Ch1 Intro: This was fairly ho-hum the usual. Nothing mind blowing, but not botched either.

Ch2 The background on Alchemicals: The "fluff" or background writing is amazing. Some very "OMG!! I can't believe they just wrote that!" moments, the writers of this book are amazing.

Ch3+4: Character backgrounds and traits: This was pretty much the norm and what you'd expect from the Manuals of Exalted powers. Some new backgrounds that are nifty.

Ch5: Charms: This is a true treasure chest. The charms in here have an amazing, inspired polish and feel. If you are unsure about buying this book, this chapter is worth its weight in gold and is incredibly inspiring to all players and ST's!

Ch6: Storytelling: This was pretty much the norm, as the Ch1 intro. Some good ideas for sure

Overall: The comics in between chapters and the art in the book were quite well done, in addition to solid writing. 5/5 for me.

Note: At the time of writing this, (Feb 26/10)you can find this book in your local gaming store,but not on amazon for some reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars FYI for those looking to buy this., February 21, 2010
This review is from: Manual of Exalted Power: Alchemicals (Hardcover)
The book is NOT out of print, and does not have limited availability. Check local gaming stores in your area for this book if you want it. Amazon is just being difficult.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book looks nifty..., May 3, 2011
This review is from: Manual of Exalted Power: Alchemicals (Hardcover)
I'd like to get a physical copy of this, but sellers, a little hint. Charging 85-180 for a book that you can easily get for $16 on Drivethrurpg as a PDF is not generally good business practice. I do wish you luck in selling your copies, but I'll probably hit my local used book store, and barring that, buy the PDF rather then shelling out 2-6 times the cost of the book.
