Well, another generic 'question' thread from moi...

I'm soon to be running a campaign which is composed exclusively - at least in terms of the PCs, of course - of magic users, whether those are Aspected Mages or Adepts (there are at present no full mages). No Shaman out of personal preference since with the exception of the more abstract ones presented in MitS I'm not overtly comfortable with them (and the MitS ones I just find intriguing)...

Has anyone run this type of campaign before (I would say obviously, but you've got to ask) and, if so, do you have any advice?

What overt problems would you expect? How would the opposition be reasonbly stacked if they have foreknowledge of the nature of the group?

I'm sure that there re other questions, but I thought that I would just get this posted and see what kind of response there is...
