Positive - good quality scan

Negative - Some severely demented and disturbing artwork, especially in the Verbena and Cult of Ecstasy segments. While I find the Mage: the Ascension game interesting for the innovative magic system (I own the 2nd edition core manual) and strong emphasis on character development over hack n' slash rpg action, many segments of description in this book fell under the "more than I need to know" category. I wish that I had bought the Dreamspeakers segment by itself and left the other two alone. I have since deleted this book off my hard drive. Honest enough?
