What if reality were even more malleable than Mage lets on and conspiracies existed to incept some new truth into existence? This is the world of The Department of Truth and we talk how to bring it into a Mage game.
Mage can be tuned to a lot of different play experiences but knowing how to do that is hard. This episode addresses just three things: who call for rolls, when to call one, and how to look at the results.
The Hedge serves as both a strange place with its own denizens and border between Arcadia and the mundane world in Changeling: The Lost. How can we use it in the World of Darkness? Lauren Roy joins to explain how!
Gnosticism has ancient roots and is mentioned across various WoD lines. How can we reflect Gnosticism and Gnostic magick in Mage? Pook joins to talk Sophia, Yaldabaoth, the Pleroma, and the Cainite Heresy.
Mage only lightly describes the Maya and Dreaming; where can we look for more options? Why Changeling! Terry and Adam read Dreams and Nightmares to use it in Mage with all its trods, mists, and chimera.
So what’s everyone else makin’? This week, Terry talks to Kris Newton of Megadumbcast, Mike Diamond of the Ascension of Babylon’s actual play, and TL Webb’s latest fiction, Crushing Depths.
Strange peoples lurk at the edges of the World of Darkness. How do we add them to our games? Pook and Terry talk the Sekrana, Chulorviah, The Watchers in the Deep, the Wyck, and other early humans.
Mage draws upon sources both ancient and modern, what can they teach us about our games? Pook and Adam talk Books of Magic, the four-part series by Neil Gaiman for DC Comics in this installment of Reality Deviant Book Club.
The World of Darkness has all sorts of non-human peoples, how do we add them to Mage? Pook from Changeling: The Podcast joins to talk about the Fomorians, Tuatha de Danaan, the Goro, Dero, Firstborn and the Djinn.
