[UA] Post-Modern...really?

[Haroudo Xavier]

I made a lot of sense. Im scaried. :)

But, talking about it, i had studied a lot of PM cinema...and sure, UA has
some characteristics, more on "what UA does", than at "UA itself". Still, i
would like to have more basis on it. I "feel"it as a PM stuff, but can't
really pin point what.

And talking about it...how is possible to classify UA magic concept? Or
simple isnt? For someone that will not play or read the game, how you
explain how the magick system, effects, way, etc, is different from other
systems, effects, ways?

last
word he ever hears) is a woman's voice, wishing him luck. If you don't think
this is important, you've probably resigned from the human race.
