I hope this is the place for this kind of question, but I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about White-wolf’s revision/revamping of the Mage RPG system after their “Time Of Judgement” debacle. All I know, at the moment, is that it’s coming out in March of 2005, and might be a supplement to some sort of core-book for the new World of Darkness that they’ll be releasing in the coming months. So yeah. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! _bamf_ ---

The last information I had indicated there would indeed be a single World of Darkness core book, with the various flavors like Werewolf and Vampire each having a specific additional book. The Core and Vampire books were to be released this August, if memory serves. ---

**White Wolf** : THIS IS IT! THE END! THE WORLD OF DARKNESS IS OVER! **Fans** : _rejoice_ Finally! A great ending to the story! Its a wrap! Two months later… **White Wolf** : Look! Its Vampire 4.0. Buy it again… fuckers! (pardon the minor pitting, but jeeze…) ---

I came up with the lyrics one day… I’m not sure why I started to do it, but the challenge of rhyming ‘Gamera’ probably had a lot to do with it. ---

I recommend checking out the message boards at [rpg.net](http://rpg.net). I distinctly recall a number of threads in rpg open over the last few weeks about this very topic. And you can bask in the glory that is Snake Gandhi. 😃
