- Flaws are uncapped, however no further BP is returned after 14 points.
- Party makeup expectation is Traditions + Crafts and Disparates, and others who can play nice.
- All characters have one free dot of either Vampire Lore or Techno Lore, representing the necessary knowledge to survive in the city.

- Appearance is half-cost: 1 assigned point is worth 2 dots, 2 BP to upgrade during chargen, and the XP cost is halved.

- (0pt Flaw) Lingering Apprentice: Your character remains under the tutelage of a more experienced magi, but has been immersed in magickal society for far longer. Begin at Arete 2, with a 3-dot Mentor or 3-dot Library and one of the following: a 4-dot Familiar, a 4-dot Fetish or 4 ranks of a Sorcerer's Path. The character may purchase additional Sorcerer's Paths at chargen. Upon reaching Arete 3, the benefits of the Mentor or Library are lost, exchanged for 1 Sphere level of choice.

When the character increases Arete to 2 and 3, they gain an additional free Sphere level of choice.
Links and Forks: The King's Game Stories
Link 1
An unlikely band of misfit magi are brought together by fate and circumstance in the search for an archmage's killer, uncovering an ancient conspiracy that seeks to prevent the awakening of Tiamat. The magi emerge victorious with new tools, allies and claim his city sanctum as their own after defeating his servant, the monstrous swordsman Stephen Bernlake. Who or what Tiamat is remains unanswered, as are the killer's nature or motives.
All they are left with is a name... Tubalcain.
Fork 1
The Technocracy have declared war on the vampires of the Sabbat in Canada, launching a furious counterattack in Montreal. As their soldiers clash in the dark alleys of that city, other forces are moving to take advantage of the eventual power vacuum.
The misfit magi have seemingly coalesced into a chantry, attempting to consolidate their claim to the node in the old Farine Five Roses building.
1A: The Model Organism
Reclusive, ailing Hermetic archmage Rubric Deracine has emerged from self-imposed isolation, seeking out the chantry by reputation alone for an unusual task: to infiltrate the Montreal Fashion Show and prevent the assassination of one of his distant sleeper descendants.
