This book consists of short fiction, some art, a background, and then several merits for each Tradition designed to add some individual flavor to them derived from the Revised Tradition Books. These are largely well-balanced, diverse, and capture aspects of the Traditions that have thus-far been absent from the M20 line.

A great sourcebook with several news backgrounds and merits/flaws tailored to each of the Nine Mystic Traditions, bonus points for being interesting mechanically and being thematically appropiate. We really liked the stories written as an introduction to each Tradition and the art is reallly nice, a great community Project overall. Now We are waiting for a similar sourcebook for the Disparate Alliance and the Technocratic Union.

Only criticism is the minor typos in the work, specially those related to in-game terms. In particular the Order of Hermes suffer the most from this, with several of the Houses of the Order having the wrong name (Bonisagus, Quaesitori, Verditius and Ex Miscellanea).

as a contributor to this project, i was very happy with how it eventually turned out. the writing is consistently high quality, and the original art provided is excellent. a great resource for mage fans who want some contemporary odds and ends to add to their games!

Between an interesting set of new merits and flaws, backgrounds, and wonderfully written stories, this book has it all. 100% reccomend.
