Shatz- Typical "Dragon Ball" munchkin power gamers. Just of college age. Mages, if you know the system, can definately be broke as all hell, especially if "power gaming" is your thing. And I fully agree that storyteller requires more proficient GMs- especially when it comes to Mage. (Perhaps as well with Changeling and Mummy, or the three people in the world that play Wraith... I'm not really familiar with any of them.)
The magic system is wide open, and without any real rules. Which is what makes it dangerously amusing. It even makes reference in the Mage player's guide about planning your stories very carefully-- using some example about a Vampire Prince making his classic "Bad-guy" speach, only to have a mage turn him into a lawn-chair.
Hmm... A mage that turns all his enemies into lawn-gnomes. Yess.... yesss....
