Thinking about the little war with the Judges, I think it might be interesting to ignore the actual war between the mages and the Judges (unkillable killers with no moral qualms to genocidal war and script immunity battling it out with a mix of common mortal fodder and unkillable rabble rousers with no moral qualms about leading the fodder into battle again and again doesn't seem that interesting to play more than one session of). Instead, I'd like to focus on some of the low power characters. I can see two ways to go with it: 1 would be to pick up some soldiers in the war and get them bloodied without script immunity, and perhaps with qualms about slaughter (unlike the Savacions, most of the soldiers have probably never killed a human being). The other possibility would be to focus on the home front in the village. The priests have a lot to deal with (particularly if the covenant takes in refugees, who I plan to dump on the covenant shortly), and the issues that the judges raise are probably more interesting to deal with from the vantage point of the locals than from the vantage point of the mages.
