cintain's review against another edition
5.0
Remarkably well-researched and balanced (for an RPG book). Despite its occassional slips into thinking-like-a-westerner territory, this book manages to give a mostly fair and accurate portrayal of the non-western paradigm that would inform the approach of an indigenous person to “magic”. As a student of such traditions “in real life” as well as a life-long RPG hobbyist who loves the premise and approach of the Mage game, I found this book quite refreshing and inspiring. Will probably be very helpful for devising a chronicle around indigenous shamans and shape-shifters. Loved it.
