Best horror game ever. (Not for power-gamers) If it won't kill your PC's character, it will drive them insane. A tragic, losing battle against the gods, yet one that must be fought.

*OP Mage: The Ascension 2nd Ed*OP Mage: The Ascension 2nd Ed by Kevin Murphy

What is the Matrix, Neo? Mage considers the question--but stay w/ the 2nd ed. book. Publisher went overboard on Revised's back story. Reality should be about possibility, not hopelessness.
