I like the titles . . . but can you give me an idea of what would go into
these books? If I may make the obvious comparison, I'm sure we've all
heard the complaints WW has gotten over the non-content of their
"splatbooks." It's clear from UA that the schools of magick are not
coherent organizations or even consistent mindsets -- so why a whole
sourcebook for each? The old schedule included a "Postmodern Magick"
sourcebook; it seems that would be the place to put new spells and such. I
could see a Sect of the Naked Goddess book to match the TNI book, but none
of the other schools is so strongly tied to a specific group of people.

Ooh ooh ooh. Yes yes yes.

Could be good.

Depends on what it is. I definitely fall on the "no continuing storyline"
side of the recent debate, but like someone else said, I trust You Guys
above all to produce good campaign sourcebooks.

Oh yeah. Bring it on.
> "Grand Secrets" - A bunch of red herring adventures and material.
How does this differ from "One Shots"? What's a "red herring adventure"?
(I would presume an adventure that seems to involve the answer to one of
the Big Questions of the UnAverse, but actually does not. Is that it?)
