(Sorcerer) The Metamorphosis v 2.0, call for players

[Picador]

Here's the new version of http://xenia.media.mit.edu/~rowan/the-metamorphosis.pdf">The Metamorphosis in PDF form. (The original thread for this setting is http://www.indie-rpgs.com/viewtopic.php?t=13290">here.)

I'm also including some links for further reading about stage magic in the setting: here's a http://www.magicexhibit.org/story/story_hist_1930.html">general history, and here's an interesting piece on http://www.marcofrezza.com/generic11.html">two African-American magicians in the period which draws a parallel between escapism and the Underground Railroad -- ripe, ripe stuff for the setting!

Finally, I'd like to actually play this setting at some point, and I have little hope of rounding up interested players in my social group. Anyone on the forums interested in taking the setting for a drive online some time this winter? No commitment required -- I'm just polling for interest.

Oh, and some rules additions:

I think we'll go with the Multiple Covers and Humanity Trading rules from Sorcerer & Sword: the former jibes with the self-reinvention theme and allows for a "used to be a male prostitute, but now I'm a Master of Illusion" schtick; the latter covers things like kung fu masters with superhuman Stamina.
