Write up you own MiB and post it as the MiB 2 or the Ulterior Agent.

Cheers,

Perhaps if you stepped back and made it a magic school based around 24/7 social connectivity and information feeds, fine. It would include cellphones and landlines and the internet.

The paradox is that the geek cannot seek a social environment outside of his electronica (or face-to-face/real life interactions).

The taboo does not include professional relationships as the geek would have within and without his network.

He charges up by communicating with the world.

This could easily be a variant of the Infomancy school or the Operating Oracle, a medium that communicates with the dead and prophecises through electronica.

Cheers,

Chris.

I’d be keen. I dallied a bit with a UK, French, German campaign idea.

Chris.

The Laws of Paradox are not really paradoxes.

All they are are ways of showing a self-destructive attitude of the adept’s obsession. All of the adept schools are inherently dangerous to the user – in a life-threatening sort of way.

To become a magician your paradox is actually pretty automatic – a dipper and his alcohol problem, the fleshcrafter and her inability to express psychological trauma.

When you create a school think about how normal people with severe fixations can harm themselves and those around them.

The magic itself is merely sparks created by the adepts obsession rubbing against nomalcy.

Cheers,

My German is acknowledgely patchy. No offense taken.

I had flashbacks to art history and theory classes – German Blue Impressions with the Blue Riders/Blue Knights.

Well, Ritter is rider in German. And a ritter is synonymous with knight. John Ritter played the fool in most of his shows, so that could easily work into a Percival mold. And as everyone knows Percival – the most unlikely knight – finds the Holy Grail.

Hmmm…

Chris.

I preferred the Ring to Ringu. The Ring is a little more grounded into the You Did It, less off the demon parent job.

Guy Ritchie movies – roller coaster crime movies.

The Cube.

Pulp Fiction is still a good show.

I’m told to watch the Devil’s Backbone and I still want to watch Intacto.

I must go see Willard. It’s full of rats.

Cheers,

Chris.

Thanks.

Chris.
