    I really feel this. Most of the time I think that all of WoD would have been so much more successful if it would have had a collaborative Session 0 guided in the book + a few more player-facing rules to keep STs humble + a few ST tools to help them adjudicate gameplay easier and a little less...

    How did you learn to run or play Mage?

    I see from time to time, folks pull from various comics/supers characters or ideas. Do you think there is a lot of value in coming to play Mage with a little bit of x-men or avengers ideas? And, when you brought in vampire's and horrors and monsters = was that simply of the GMs creation, or...

    How did you learn to run or play Mage?

    So many great details here! DO you feel that Mage required or needed the other WoD character types in order for it to be interesting? As in... what if there were no vampires or werewolves or fey to interact with in Mage...just mages? What did you not like about Awakening, what seemed so...

    What other fantasy games are out there?

    What other fantasy games are out there?

    So, part of me as an old fart knows that GURPS has this... but I don't recall GUPRS going much into details for races. It's been a few years, lol. What are the best race books for that? DO they have a side Races and cultures book kinda like sword and sorcery used to?
