[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 4896933, member: 5202"] Yeah first ed Mage was pretty amazing. 2nd Ed was basically clarifying a lot of the rules and a slight scaling back to Forces 5 (too many black holes generated probably heh) mostly. I always felt they didn't provide enough example rotes and then MtA went and made more rotes than there were spells in 3rd Ed D&D. They went from free form to extreme detail and have a much more storyline now. Can't get into it. I just pretend Revised and MtA never happened, only need 7 books to complete my 1st/2nd ed Mage collection :) Man how could I forget Rifts?! I was a freshman in high school and a buddy of mine found that. We had both played TMNT and Heroes Unlimited by that point so we knew all about the Palladium system. The original cover art and the full color shots like the Ley Line Walker, the Red Borg, the ley lines ripping across the land...it was all so amazingly evocative. Unfortunately the game bogs down in the system and the never ending arms race of new books. [/QUOTE]
