Speculation About David's Other Threads

Since we are not supposed to go out and have super conversations in the other thread I wanted to comment on something here.

The guilds from the Rhine tribunal.

The system of having magical political parties really ought to be core. It is a brilliant way to inform the political stance of a magus and the fact that magi choose to join guilds based on their personal convictions rather than their house adds a lot of depth to characters and what can be done with them.

Contrast e.g. membership in house Jerbiton versus membership in the apple guild. A member of house Jerbiton will be expected to favor mundane integration because their pater told them to. A member of the apple guild favors mundane integration because that what they believe in.

Having guilds as a core system will allow the houses to be more like lineages and societies without including personality types.

I love this. Whenever I read the Rhine book I am saddened by the fact that unless I play in that Tribunal the guilds can't get used. So having them be in the Core would be brilliant.

The idea that there is House and Covenant and now Guild would be brilliant. Especially as Guild is magi from different houses and different covenants and so there is a bunch of potential story hooks and seeds. So yea, this would make a great addition to Core.
