[CamRI] FW: RE: [Awakening-st] Learning Rotes

[John Tyler]

Hi guys,
     This note is intended for all my Mage players out there.  If you don't 
play Mage, then please feel free to delete this and move on.  A discussion 
recently that gone over the Awakening ooc, ST, and rules lists has taught me 
something that I didn't realize.  I admit I've been guilty of not following 
these rules myself, even though they are in the book (spread out and 
sometimes hard to find as they are).  To that effect from this point on I am 
going to enforce these rules in the RI Mage venue.  As many of you don't 
even bother much with rotes, I understand that this is a moot point for many 
of you.  As such, when you run your low app items by me before buying them 
(as I'm sure you are all doing, after all we all know low approval doesn't 
mean no approval) if there are rotes in there I will be asking where you 
learned your rotes by the below mentioned rules.

Thank you,
John R Tyler
