might be used to give some justification for other "elemental" shaman types.
But then, awakened Australia is several orders of magnitude stranger than just
about anyplace else on the planet.
The London Sourcebook has druids, but they are rather different than what I'd
expected. Sorry, can't remember any details at the moment...
Someone mentioned a Challenge or White Wolf magazine article that included New
Orleans and details about voodoo magic. Could someone please tell me which mag
and issue #?
Interesting possible source for new awakened critters: Gamma World. I think
other post-apocalypse (sp?) games might have some fun new critters, too.
(Anyone want to go jackalope hunting? :)
I got involved in a discussion on SR druids a while back before the London
Sourcebook existed. While we never really came up with anything solid on
druids (we disagreed too much), we did come up with one intriguing idea. We
thought it might be interesting if someone could conjure up faerie folk and
other personages from Celtic myth. When the conjurer tries to summon one
specific person or faerie, that individual would "hear" about the summons, but
would not have to show up. The fey folk are a capricious bunch... Depending
on what they felt like at the moment (read: depending on the results of the
conjuring test :), they might choose to appear personally, or send a minion,
not show up at all, show up and mis-interpret the mage's demands (usually with
a mischevious but non-harmful bent, but not always...), or if the roll is
botched, a faerie opposed to the one summoned might hear the call and do
something.... This one could be *lots* of fun (at least for the gm! >:-).
Imagine a mage conjuring one of the fey folk, and having Robin Goodfellow show
up. . . .
