[Mage] Why did no one inform me about the old school ST sc..

Being the type who collects things, some time ago I chose Mage books as
my latest objet d'desire. I've been slowly collecting them, snapping up
the bargains on eBay as they appear. The original Mage screen is a
perennial item there, usually for silly starting bids, given its
relative value in a Mage game these days that isn't expressly first
edition.

At least, that's what I thought until I finally snagged a copy of my
own. Before today, I had only ever seen the middle pane of the screen,
which seemed to be some ephemeral dragony things spitting fire at each
other. Then I opened my package and unfolded the screen to witness the
glory of it all at once.

*Now* I have some inkling of the joys and sorrows I see so many people
suggest in their posts. And I so want to play that game.

Dragons and extradimensional pirate ships and teleporting super-hackers
and islands flying high above the surface of the spirit world and all that?

Yeah. Nice piece of art. Second Mage product I ever bought, which was
confusing, since the first one was Mage 2nd Edition.

But not so jarring as say, buying the 1st Ed screen and the revised
corebook.

Actually, though, my plans for running a Mage game have almost from the
beginning centered on fusing early Mage content -- the good stuff,
anyway -- with the revised mechanics.
