I'm mainly excited because I never really got to play Mage, my group was intimidated by the magic system.

Heh, tell me about it. Mage is [i]really[/i] cool, but it's so out there that I think most groups just never get up the motivation to play... The books are interesting to read (and, in my opinion, it's the best-written of the WW games), but everything's so abstract that it takes a lot of work on the part of the players [i]and[/i] the GM to get it running well. 

Have you ever read through the Sorceror's Crusade campaign setting?
