JessHartley:
Just wanted to point out to Jim that there's currently a thread on the White Wolf Forums discussing which type of White Wolf Mage Harry would be.

It's nice to see two of my favorite fandoms crossing paths...

Kalshane:
Wow, those forums have changed since the last time I've been there. Though back in the day, when I first started reading the DF I did start a thread of my own in the Mage forum about them. Guess times haven't changed that much.

And of course, I have no idea what they're actually talking about in the current thread because I haven't picked up the new Mage game.

I'm happy enough with my Mage: The Ascension 2nd/Revised blend rules and my already established "World" that I can't see myself tossing them for the new game any time soon. Especially since I wasn't impressed by things I picked up from a brief skimming of the new book. All mages are from Atlantis now? WTF?

Kalium:
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and peg Harry as an Obrimos.

ToddM326:
what is the white wolf forum?

Mickey Finn:
White Wolf is the gaming company that gave RPGs a shot in the arm when they released Vampire: The Masquerade, an RPG that concentrated on the characters rather than the monsters and treasure. They managed to rather brilliantly (whether you like the game or not, you gotta admit Sam Chupp had a stroke of genius) combine a ton of types of vampires by making them all clans descended from the first vampire...different bloodlines became classic vamps, everything from Nosferatu to Lost Boys types to Anne Rice Types.
They then went on to release Werewolf: The Annoying (or whatever) and Mage: The Ascension (as well as Wraith, Changeling, and 6 billion supplementals). Mage had an interesting system for magic...there were various spheres of control (like Mind, Time, Correspondance, etc.) that were combinable to create effects. There were no rote spells like Fireball...you combined sphere effects that you knew to create the fireball. There were also schools of magic (like clans, called traditions) that define what kind of mage you are in general, like a death mage, or a mad-scientist type, or a zen-warrior-monk type or whatever (those aren't the names they use).

So, the WW fans are trying to figure out what type of Mage Harry would be.
