Opinion and Reviews

What This Book Will Add to Your Saga

Greece is a wonderful setting for mystical atmosphere. Your magi may want to visit the Theban Tribunal to investigate its magical secrets, perhaps as Seekers or as initiates into a Mystery Cult. Similarly, the great city of Constantinople is a natural destination for magi. Even if your magi live in a distant Tribunal, there are plenty of in-character reasons for them to visit the Tribunal of Thebes.

This Book Might Not Fit Your Game If ...

The Theban Tribunal is a lot different from Western Europe. The cultural differences might make seem too "foreign" for some Troupes' liking.

Reviews and Comments

Please add your own comments about the book.

The mystical coverage of this book is satisfying. It's nice to see each of the four Realms getting explicit treatment. --Andrew Gronosky
