    Of course, one can take the Ars Magica stance of Adepts and Avatars are
the juicy characters, if you want to play a support character like a
Companion or, god forbid, a Grog, that's your business and you need to find
ways to make yourself interesting amongst the movers and shakers.
    Of course I tend to remember when Mage was Mage for Grownups.  The world
keeps turning, tastes change, new developers take a hacksaw and a
Burnz-o-matic torch to the foot of good games.
