my question: Is it really so bad letting your players play the oddball magical traditions? The main reason I see in the books is that the "twisted" traditions are reserved for those really bad guys, but sometimes players runners can be worse than some of the "comic book" villainy you might come to expect from a Toxic mage.
Any GMs let theyre players use those traditions at all? How did it work out? |
