[QUOTE="Professor Phobos, post: 4587768, member: 18883"] It is doable. In fact, some suggestions- link the changes. If you really want every character to "switch" at the same time, then coordinate them somehow. This is easy with Mage/Changeling. If you have one Mage, have him be an Acanthus*, and when he signs his name to that Watchtower, simultaneously Changeling-Guy gets abducted. Since he can spend decades in Arcadia and have no time pass in the real world, he gets all Changeling-ized then makes it back moments later. You've got a built in mutual plot hook there- does the fact that Mages can draw power from Arcadia mean Keepers can take people to Arcadia? Was a bargain struck? Did one character unknowingly authorize the other character's kidnapping and brutal supernatural transformation? *I usually discard the Path restrictions; so I'd let him just pick two Greater Arcana and one Inferior and say that they're Arcadia-themed. Oh, another bit of Mage advice while I'm on the subject- the Path descriptions are notoriously awful, the worst WW ever did. Ignore anything they say about "stereotypical" Mages of Path X (Moros tend to wear black? Gee, great description!) and let your players decide. All Paths really determine is the mythological theme of the Watchtower and what Arcana you're good at.

I don't know much about Old Werewolf, but I hear from others it was pretty metaplotty itself, and that removing the Wyrm/Weaver/Wyld and the Apocalypse and all that really changes the equation for oWerewolf->nWerewolf transitions. No more saving the world or epic Captain Planet struggle stuff. Dunno though, they're all pretty different from their predecessors. [/QUOTE]
