 | Game Summary | [ Edit Main Info ] |
Notable for being Mage's only near-wholly fictional Tradition -- itself borrowed from the venerable roleplaying game of a mythic medieval Europe, Ars Magica, the Order of Hermes' two splatbooks explore the mystical brotherhood that expounds the Hermetic philosophy of the laws of sympathy and contagion, among others, and holds humanity at the apex of creation, with all other beings and phenomena for their use.
This game is also contained in The Traditions Gathered 1: Songs of Science.

| 3 + 4 | ~BA | Tradition Book: Order of Hermes. A mixed bag that does well overall, despite some missed chances. Definitely a welcome revision of the venerable Order of Hermes. [ Read Review ] |
| 4 + 5 | Charles Craig | Tradition Book: Order of Hermes Revised. Not perfect, but close - better than the first edition. A must-read for would-be Hermetics, and those who are undecided on the value of the Order. [ Read Review ] |

| 7 / 10 | DrFaust | I think the Hermetic splatbooks are my favorite of the bunch, despite preferring the Virtual Adepts as my favorite Tradition. Somehow, the Hermetic books sing to me with energy and verve, even if they are presented as one of the stuffier, more hidebound Traditions. |
