So I bit the bullet and bought Revival Trials. Yeah, I know. So much for my resolve.
Anyway, I gotta say, I enjoy getting a peek into the Clans pre-Invasion. Hopefully we'll get some Political Century books or some such thing, to give me somewhere to play around with. Speaking of which, has anyone else... um, made their own "what if" Revival bracket? I've played around a bit, and so far the most interesting outcome (based on simple dice rolls for both placement and outcome) saw the Spirits taking first, the Jaguars second, and the Burrocks third. The Mandrills(?!) came out as the official Reserve Clan as well. A part of me would love to see how that plays out, to be perfectly honest.
I did another one that had the Cats place second, alongside the Coyotes and Hellions. Da Bears ended up in the support role. For some sick and strange reason though, the idea of the Spirits and Mandrills raising holy hell in the Inner Sphere together was more compelling, despite the idea of the Cats providing the main Crusader representation in the Invasion.
