Yeah, its odd how before reading this, I used to be really lukewarm about the True Order, I just didn't see how they fit into the big picture (such as it is), and one hastily written email later, I'm filled with barely restrained chuckling about fiendish campaign ideas, bizarro anarchistic conspiracy theory and just plain coolness. Possibly a hypothetical 2nd edition UA should contain short rants by typical members of the major groups, clueless cabals, dukes on the street etc, like the "scenes from a typical campign" at the beginning.
Or perhaps not.
