I've been looking at White Wolf games recently, and I'd like to know your thoughts on them, especially if you've played some. How do they compare to Shadowrun? It seems like there is less to "do" in these games, being limited by the fact that you are a vampire or whatever. Shadowrun has this liberty of goal and actions that I don't think these games have.
Also, I took a quick look at Mage traditions, and man, there are some good ideas for Shadowrun initiatory groups and threats in there. I especially liked the idea of mages who are fervent ecstasy seekers. Seems so obvious to me know that such groups would exist in Shadowrun. Anyway, please post your miscellaneous thoughts on all of this. |
