Oh, I don't know. Its got that magic system that
allows someone to change reality if they really,
REALLY believe it's possible. Sound familiar.

But then my Mage game tends to be a little more UAish
than the WW canon. Its this mailing list that gives me
great ideas for Mage.

It has a lot of cool, but it has its crap, too.
Everything does. One of the primary things that
attracted me to Mage was the "science is magic" idea.
I love Mage the same way I dislike Shadowrun for being
a hack-together of AD&D and Cyberpunk.

But that's my cent's worth.

Cheers,

Chris.
