Mages!!!!!!!!!!!<P>Sorry, I run a Vampire/Hunter Game and Mages are the one genre I will not allow any dealings with. Basically I play paradox and any mages (even TECHNOCRATS) that come into the game are aimmediately gobbled up along with any knowledge of their kind and neat diddlybobs they gave people. Paradox might get hungry for Mummies next if some of my players don't keep quiet.<P>------------------
