They're going to try to merge the universes together, and it's going to be a gigantic mess. You heard it here* first, everynyan. I can't loving wait to spend Clinton Funbucks on a book that mashes together Mage and Mage. *From a certain point of view.

Kurieg posted:They're only in the kickstarter backer's copies for now. Also the Homecoming is now the Devouring, and it's where your character starts. There are two failure states where your beast soul fuses with you either in the primordial dream or the physical world and you become living uncontrolable hunger, but the Primordial Dream one is the only one that you can have accidentally happen to you(and you'd have to be very unlucky for that to happen). The physical world one is something you have to actively invoke. So, Beast is still the game about brand management where the bad things that happen are mostly along the lines of getting your mellow harshed?

Why would you make a game about being an otherized outcast where the expectation is that you'll be solitary and without a broader social context, and then explicitly associate the PCs with oppressed classes? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

It's so unbelievably cool that the game where you're supposedly playing primordial conceptions of monstrosity actually involves you piggybacking on genuine monsters and attempting to align your brand image to theirs.

Kaza42 posted:I'm having a hard time getting a good read on the Seers of the Throne here. They're willing servants of the Exarchs, and seek to keep humanity from Awakening, but what do they actually do? There's a picture of a bunch of presumably Seers at a party with a crucified man being tortured, so do they actually torture people? Where do they get them, do they just abduct people off the street to kill and torture them? Or are they more about the grinding oppression, making sure people remain poor and frustrated and ignorant? Or is it really just about keeping them away from magic, so you could have a tech entrepreneur Seer who advanced mundane technology by leaps and bounds but in doing so keeps people from realizing that the physical world doesn't have all the answers? Seers attempt to influence people away from Awakening and the Supernal. What exactly they do will vary by Ministry. The Ministry of Hegemony pushes for nation-states, hierarchical power structures generally, and belief in superiors and inferiors. The Praetorian Ministry pushes for militarism and the normalization of violence. The Ministry of Panopticon pushes for surveillance. The Ministry of Mammon pushes for greed. Seers believe themselves to be following the Exarch's will, and supposedly the heads of the four most powerful Ministries are merged partially with their representative Exarchs. That being said, the Seers generally are against anything which improves conditions for people generally because they conclude that the general misery of the world is the will of the Exarchs and, say, improving Fallen technology is thus a contradiction of the Exarch's will. IDK. In 1e extending your life with Life magic didn't make you a Liche/Reaper AFAIK.
