As Shieldhaven said in the above comment, the book is <i>"pretty bad about hiding its really useful information."</i> Still, I think it is well worth the read. You should also have an advantage, given that you're already familiar with the oWoD-system and mentality.<br /><br />Between you, me, and the fence-post, M:tA is somewhat of a bastard, in that it is quite rules-heavy, in a weird Storytelling kind of way. Still, the last three paragraphs in my post describes the game quite well, if I have to say so myslef.<br /><br />@ Shieldhaven:<br />No worries, mate :)<br /><br />I'll definately check up on those rules. I know I've read them a couple of times, but I constantly find new uses for things I previously dismissed off-hand.Haraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864029225698561023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046469008368273193.post-77534360292158432162011-06-05T23:30:24.105-04:002011-06-05T23:30:24.105-04:00Thanks for posting this!
It may be of no interest...Thanks for posting this!<br /><br />It may be of no interest to you, but I stumbled across <i>a</i> rule for learning and casting from grimoires as I was putting together my post today. Check out p. 221, under the spell <i>Inscribe Grimoire</i>. This set of rules is not bad, though it means that no one should ever be spending XP on rotes of things they don't need in combat. This is also some of the most obscure presentation of highly useful information one could imagine, in a book that is already pretty bad about hiding its really useful information.<br /><br />Thanks again for your comment, linking my post, and your kind words. =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333781524640845035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046469008368273193.post-74025915210388079862011-06-05T23:25:22.804-04:002011-06-05T23:25:22.804-04:00One of these days I need to spend some time with m...One of these days I need to spend some time with my M:tA book. It is a rather intimidating read, though. ;)christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650456794111980661noreply@blogger.com
