[QUOTE="Cedric, post: 597921, member: 2044"] Mage is probably my favorite game. But yes, it has a few issues.... 1. Complicated...if you are not willing to really read the book and put some thought into this ... buy something else. 2. Miscommunication...get together with your players if you are running the game. Do some 1-on-1s and get a feel for what people want from their character conceptually. At the same time, dsicuss people's ideas and limitations as far as their magic use is concerned. 3. Limit cross-overs. While the world of darkness games "can" be run together...it's best if you don't. Their philosophies don't quite mix. So why bother playing Mage? Outstanding concept, fantastic world and play environment, exciting "bad" guys and the best magic system in the world...except for possibly Ars Magica. If you have any questions about mage...feel free to post here or lemme know I'll pass you my email address. Mages are NOT all powerful...they limited by the experiences of their education and their concept of magic. Cedric [/QUOTE]
