While I'm certainly looking forward to new players, our commando portion of the game is nearing capacity. Team Unicorn has something like five or six active characters; the wizarding team is down to two.

That other wizard named Harry, you mean. Who has starred in 13 books, 14 short stories/novellas, and one independent comic.
...no, you are not allowed to play Harry Dresden.

Dude, of course not. If he gets to play Dresden, i'm so turning Warren into Kincaid.

Why does everyone want to be a commando?
Not only is the wizard team down to two, they're also the only team with women. That may need to go on our recruiting posters.
Also: A flak jacket? Like, an honest to god M1952 fragmentation vest or M-1952/1969 flak vest?

Oh. English Major, just so you know, Hungry Joe retired as GM quite a while ago. I've been keeping the train on its tracks for the last nine months or so.

Off topic? Here. Isn't this for applying or discussing applications or something?
Also: Recommend exchanging flak vest for ballistic vest soonest. Over. Sorry Sabre.

And how bad do we really need magic peoples? 'Cause to get me in on it, I'd have to be able to bless myself and then run in smashing with a conjured axe.

We do need magicians pretty damn badly.
Also, there Ain't No Rule saying you can't have a gun and a wand, so long as you can justify it. I'm encouraging the Harry Dresden approach to magic here. (There's also the disadvantage in the Potterverse, at least in my eyes, that you need a small fragile wand for magic instead of a big heavy staff you can use to brain somebody with in an emergency. But I digress.)

Well, there is the slight caveat that as far as we know, there aren't any wizards more tech-savvy than perhaps the Middle Ages, unless they're muggle-born. Then again, spell and sword in accord is pretty cool.

The new generation of muggle-born wizards, at least by the standards of the book series, are better in that regard, though. (The more...traditionalist, shall we say...wizards, not so much.)

Now for the sake of argument, is this a black and white struggle, or could I go merc for whoever pays the most?

Going freelance is potentially acceptable; Karla—the spymaster figure on the wizard side—has a healthy side of pragmatism, after all.

Ans so has the Gm spoken.
The Man in Black
It's not black or white in any way shape or form.
Also, I wouldn't touch Karla with an eleven foot pole. Just a word of advice. She's a bit of a snake.

SO now we've got a guy on the wizard team? Let me know when we get an ex-Mossad operative on ours.
