Good question, and one that I've pondered as well. For my, Grim War
was like a delicious riff on GURPS Cabal, with a more interesting take
on how magic actually works game-mechanically... and then there were
some mutants stuck there for some reason.

I guess the easiest fix for things like the mutant Mafia family is to
just make them naturally good conduits/hosts for spirits. Bam, done.

I totally agree and I think it would not be that hard. Some of the
organizations are written with the presence of mutants in mind, so as
GM you would need to revise those parts so they refer to sorcery
instead. If Greg winds up with a few minutes to spare that would make
a great GW-related post for arcdream.com.

Thanks for sharing some material for Grim War. I'm afraid you have
that setting a little bit forgotten. And it's so interesting.

This reminds me: This is a question I've been meaning to ask for a while now but always seem to forget to do.

How easy is it to lift the mutant powers out of Grim War and use it with sorcery and spirits only? It seems it could do a good WOD game without the cookie-cutter vampires and whatnot.

Cheers,

Chris.

Progenitor is an excellent setting!

It does exactly what almost all RP settings *never* do, no matter how
hard you wish they did,... in that it gives you *plenty* of characters
with full write-ups and descriptions. Describes, in detail the various
technologies, cultural mores and world-spanning vibes that comprise
the setting and on top of all that, it gives GMs actual metrics and
systems for allowing PC-plot and actions to have an effect on the
entire world and the gradual development of history-to-come.

I cannot recommend it highly enough.
