The only concern that is actually legitimate, in a way, if you don't like something about a gameline, is "why are they spending resources making this tripe when they could be furthering better games", but that is, in itself, highly subjective.
Otherwise, if a gamerunner has real concerns, they can just not allow the game, you know?

Yeah, but there's a range between Promethean ("I'm'a gonna have to change things a lot to make this viable and/or it alters the whole setting in a drastic fashion") and Geist ("I added a sphere but people who don't care probably won't have to").
Some spheres are just more modular than others.

I haven't really read it but from what I've heard it's pretty much made to interact with other spheres in its own way depending on the sphere. So... there's likely going to be some stuff that will mesh well and other stuff that will be a nightmare in a MU setting.

I actually really, really like Beast. It's definitely its own thing; Beasts are avatars of primordial fear and can bring nightmares into the real world, basically. Give it the benefit of the doubt and have a full read, don't just make assumptions based on the blurb.

We're going to need to work on that bloodline again, @skew.

@Ganymede or find a Beast game!

Anyone have a review of Beast?
I have a waggish sense of humor.

Just in time for me to think about not running a Mage-game after all!
Is this what irony is? Do we need to call Ms. Morissette?

LOL. It's always just so funny to watch people scream Mage Supremacy. Annoying, but funny. Still, I'm interested to see what they've done to the Mage setup and setting. -
Hint: It will still be boring.
But it could be worse: Over in their V20 line, Onyx Path just published a new version of what was, if memory serves, the most hated book in the entire line.
That's right, it's a new TRUE BLACK HAND sourcebook. Because that's what the setting really needed.
