Sure, that could happen. It's human nature to think the consequences of our
actions apply to the whole world but not us. Still, I guess there would be
some people who would back out. After all you can lose a lot more by being a
deranged member of the OU than by being fat.

Yep, it's the price you have to pay.

The first things I liked about UA was the idea of obsessions and gathering
charges. I could imagine the impact it would have on character's lives
straight away. Magick sure ain't cheap in this game.

pleasure with a new  friend, and lift up the heart of a true friend by
writing his name on the wings of a dragon."
