Almost, but not quite..., 7. April 2000

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Guide to the Technocracy (Mage: The Ascension) (Gebundene Ausgabe)
One of the best aspects of M:TA, in my opinion, is the idea that there is no absolute truth. No 'right' or 'wrong'. No good guys or bad guys (well.. except for the Nephandi, of course...) This is the strong point of this book, but unfortunally also the weak point of it. It's important to undestand that the Technocrats are not 'the bad guys'. In fact, they see themselves as 'the good guys', and they have many good reasons to believe so. This is a point that the book explains well, showing the ideology and the ways the union operates. However, it fails, in my opinion, in one point: while in Mage no one view of reality is correct or incorrect, the underlying feeling of this book is that the Traditions view of reality is the correct one. When I read it I got the feeling the author said: "Well, this is how the Technocracy sees it, but we both know they're wrong, right?". If you can ignore that point, though, it's a worthwhile book to read if you play Mage (especially if you want to play a Technocract, of course).

I don't know if this is to praised as Brucato's last work on Mage: tA, or Jess Heinig's first, or both. But it will definitely change your views on this game. Wonderful.

Good background, pity about the rules, 28. November 1999

Over all a good book that helps to clarify the aims and goals of the technocracy...Some good stuff here.
The only problem is that it fails to demonstrate clearly how the magick system operates from a technomages view point...It refers you to use the system as described in Mage: the Asscension...Nothing like giving players knowledge on their enemies capabilities now is there!
Other then that...I liked it.
