What makes tie-in fiction actually feel like Mage: The Ascension? Pooka and Lee Webb explore selected stories from Dark Destiny and Dark Destiny 2: Proprietors of Fate, two World of Darkness horror anthologies filled with Technocrats, Nephandi, historical occultists, former mages, reality shifts, ecstatic rituals, and more than a few questionable decisions.
Spoiler warning: Major plot details are discussed throughout.
