A podcast for Mage: The Ascension players, storytellers, and World of Darkness fans.
This minisode is with Max from Saga Experience which is trying to create a new type of virtual tabletop with a kind of built in game engine. We talk about our favorite numbers, virtual tabletops, and outcome distributions. Regular episode will be out Saturday!
What does faith look like as the End Times approach? What is the role of shepherds when monsters walk the earth? Adam and Terry talk about how the Celestial Chorus has broadened even as theology seemingly declines in Tradition Book: Celestial Chorus.
Mage is a game suited for many genres from pensive journey to space opera but the rules don't always give us fast-paced action. Bryce Perry of Darker Days Radio talks with Terry about things to steal from games like Torg and how to speed up combat.
In the 21st century, the Ahl-i-Batin quietly invoke the Khwaja al-Akbar while the Taftâni fight druj and pursue Asha with explosive ferocity. Adam and Terry talk math, carpets, figs and other goodies from Lost Paths: Ahl-i-Batin & Taftâni.
The Traditions claim to represent all of mystick magick but were left out of the Grand Convocation. So what is a Tradition and what makes them unique? Victor and Terry talk Traditions over time, areas to explore, and how to build your own.
No longer lead by monastic ascetics the Akashayana are ready to bury old ways but can they hold together long enough to change? Adam and Terry talk new sects, new rotes, new wonders and a whole lot of Do in Tradition Book: Akashic Brotherhood.
We received several questions from a listener regarding Settings in Mage for techno magi. Adam answered the question during the Tomes of Magick: Tradition Book: Akashic Brotherhood episode. We were so delighted with the question that we included it on our blog.
The world of Mage is teeming with strange creatures so why not add dragons? Scion: Dragon explores the powers and agendas of the mythic creatures and their heirs and developer Danielle Lauzon shares how dragons can go in your Mage game.
The grip of Paradox has tightened, but sorcerers, psychics, extraordinary citizens, and practitioners of limited or codified magick are unhindered. So what are they up to? Adam and Terry talk about new groups, new paths, new systems, and PSYCHIC POWERS in Sorcerer Revised.
What games did you play in 2020, and more importantly, what hacks, mechanics, settings, and ideas can we take from them to bring into Mage? Mike from Darker Days Radio talks Sanity from Call of Cthulhu, quick stats from the Pip system, focus from Soulbound, and more as we review the games we played in 2020.
