I love the actual play series “Norfolk Wizard Game” by Bruva Alfabusa, it’s more of a conspiracy story of four mages awakening at the same time causing the Technocracy to get involved

it makes me happy to see people playing WoD games that aren't Vampire. years ago I was in a Hunter campaign, and it felt like being inside the show Supernatural. Mage sounds awesome, I might have to wrangle a group for it

Elias Scorsone :
The PCs discover buildings burning down, discover those responsible are entities from another universe who take over the lives of a ragtag collection of dangerous misfits so they can vicariously fight, kill, and loot the bodies. If one avatar dies the entity scrounges up another body. Yes, the Mages have discovered a group of cosmic beings are using their world as the setting for their RPG, and they have decided to play like murder hobos.

Even flipping the script and playing as Technocrats can be super fun. It turns into a wild Delta Green espionage vs supernatural story except with SCIENCE!

"...who manifests their will to live into healing." some suicidal guy would have their head blown up if he did anything.

Very nice! But now the million dollar question, storyteller to storyteller: how to you make a Mage game that doesn’t devolve into players using magic to solve every single problem, or hoard XP to buy arete and spheres instead of almost anything else? Paradox is supposed to be the balancing factor, but it either too disincentivizes the use of magic (which is the whole point of being a mage), or isn’t really a deterrent at all.

I’d love to run a mage game but I don’t know where to go finding a book. It’s not still in production is it?

God I love mage - they basically nailed the only magic system that you ever need. Such a good game.

i use call of Cthulhu modules. They usually are horror modules. Chtullu didn't expect the prime 3 + Forces 3 energy ball that my hermetic player threw in his face

When you said guys with weapons I honestly thought you were framing a hunter group as aggressors to really drive home the divide mages have from mortals and hunters since their awakened. I’m honestly not sure you arnt 🤔

It's like when you try to describe that really awesome dream you had to your friend, realize halfway through they got bored and you forgot the rest, and so round out the ending with even weirder shit. I say this with love. Mage Ascension is second only to Changeling The Lost in my favorite ttrpgs.
