Neil Robinson so about unpronounceability: there’s a super handy pronunciation guide at the back of the Playbook (they always include supplemental stuff like design essays, history about EVERY CARD, etc.).

It’s goofy! Civitates is kee-wah-tah-tis WHAT? I might just be an uneducated colonial, though. We used to say “vitae” vee-tay in my Vampire/Mage/WoD days.
