A great book.
I was introduced to LARP role playing through Laws of the Ascension, and I haven't looked back. The book can be a bit confusing for new player who hasn't ever played either table top or LARP before. Perticulary if you're a table top player trying to make the switch to LARP. It's not easy. But if you read the book, and have a friend or two near by who can help you out with character creation, then it's a great buy. I wouldn't suggest it for a new player who can't ask his or her friends about it.

But if you know your stuff, and if you find mages interesting, and you want something other then Vampire intrude and Werewolf blood baths, try Mage, it's not only a great mix (if you want a blood bath, then you can have one, if you want a social game then by all means try it) but the best part about mage is it's flexibility. Mage allows player to play almost whatever they choose, and if your into crossover game with other types of supernaturals, then mage is great for that too.

So if your a newbie, I'd try something different, however, if you know your LARP and you want a change of pace, try Laws of Ascension. It's fun and truly interesting.
