| I know I can feel empathy, and I know my AS son does too. But to show compassion feels fake and phony to me for some reason. People with AS have trouble in the empathy department, as it (Empathy) requires you to recognize foregin processes of thought. Empathy is the ability to truly "feel someone's... |

| I in particular dislike the new mage - I think Consensual Reality was part of what mage mage and not wizard: the occultining. Paradigm I have mixed feelings on, but I'm not a big fan of Symbolism which seems to be a big part of the new game. Atlantis I can live with, but it seems to me to be overuse... |

| Considering this is a roleplaying forum, among other things, I was thinking we could have a thread discussing one of my favorite PnP games, Mage: The Ascension. Basically, Mage (for those of you who don't know) is a game about reality on the brink, in which individuals called Mages have gained a sud... |
