I know this is quite old, but I just had to comment it. As I see it what
we are doing (reading the digest, reading obscure texts about a fantasy
world) is just like the Cult of Immanent Mastery's charismatic wisdom
skill. And since I've just read the GROY I'm hoping to attain the inner
circle in a few years. (Notice how I used GROY to confuse those who are
not initiated in the higer secrets :))
