Sure, MAGES can do that. While it's good for the Psi mechanics to ride
alongside those used for magic, can't some aspects (mechanics-wise) be
different? Besides, it's looking like many of these disciplines will be a
bit more powerful than your average spell.

Even if the numbers come up to be similar, it just seems to me that the
powerpoints provided should be less than that of force for magicians.
Perhaps I am in the minority on this one...

You requested a regroup call (basically, summaries of the strongest
proposals). Could someone lay out the foundation for the "cyberpsionic"
manipulation group? I haven't followed it very closely; the idea seemed
way too infeasable when it foist came up.

And wouldn't "clairvoyance" be a single discipline that falls under
divination?

Aw, you're drunk. I leave that group for three days and come back to
face a thousand messages in four-hundred different threads.

Someone's gotta do what the gov did to Ma Bell way back when and CHOP
THAT SUCKER UP!

I don't even have thyme to scan the 100-300 daily threads. I just hit
the first forty or so (and even then, only the debates over Spellfire or
interesting stories concerning games or how much WotC is now hated...),
and (c)atchup on the rest...

You're going to have to wait awhile on those "Elder Dragon Legends." The
print run was something like seven thymes larger than Arabian Nights,
and, even though only a select few were able to scarf up the boxes
(guilty), the market is now FLOODED with the cards and complete sets
(kinda hard not to get one when you open six boxes).

Does it seem to you that more and more folks are selling out? With
Spellfire, and the upcoming Illuminati (*evil grin*) and ST:tNG, and the
outrageous print runs, more players and collectors seem to be jumping
ship for cash...
