Minisode - Reality Deviant Book Club: Kid Eternity

A podcast dedicated to exploring the Mage: The Ascension, a role-playing game (RPG) based in the World of Darkness.

I really like the format of interviews, reviews, and concept ideas. Really good for someone starts out with Mage or, an old favorite.  They also do a great job to address the changes across additions as well as explaining the multiple uses of some words in the World of Darkness.  Great job!  Please keep going!

Great format

I don’t like to say that anything is flawless or perfect, because it leaves no room to grow. And these hosts? They do grow along with the retrospective material, including recognizing that books published 20+ years ago sometimes include content or language that is not suitable or respectful to folks in 20XX. 

This has been a delight to listen to, and reignited my abiding love for this game (as well as its overlaps to Wraith and Changeling). Blessings on y’alls home and hands, putting in this labor of love.

This is a delight for any classic WoD fan!

Tomes of Magick: Verbena

Outcasts: A Players Guide to Pariahs was the first supplement to give more information on this collection of goths and romantics along with information on the Caitiff of Vampire and the Ronin of Werewolf.

Tomes of Magick: Cult of Ecstasy 

Many world cultures refer to servants of greater powers who guide humanity and other servants of darker powers who tempt us. What if the latter started out as the former? Demon the Fallen builds a world where a war occurred in heaven where those who fought for the right to reveal themselves to humans were banished from creation...until now.  Demon as a system plays very well with Mage and Terry Robinson and Charles Siegel will guide you though adding those who saw paradise lost to your chronicle. Notes:  The mythos laid out in this game don't quite follow any specific tradition and hew to Paradise Lost. If you want to follow a world tradition of angelology, pick one of the big ones and run with it: Angels in Judaism, Angels in Christianity, Angels in Islam, Angels in Hermeticism, Angels in Zoroastrianism Angel powers can be quite potent House rule that Pacts forged with low-torment demons do not mark the avatar and those with high-torment demons/the Earthbound do Early demon history posits a fractured cosmos where one thing could be multiple things at once Demons have highly variable memories of creation Demon lores appear as magick to mages and magick appears as a lore to demons, each can detect what the other is doing.  Books:  Demon the Fallen core rule book. Outlines all the basic powers. Demon the Fallen Storytellers Companion. Gives additional background material and explains more how demons created the world. Earthbound. A guide to the dark entities that have no mortal half to balance them. They make good antagonists even if indirectly. The complete Demon the Fallen collection. Because we know you want everything.    ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mage-the-podcast/message

Thoughts on Paradox

Patriarchs or pariahs? Servants of the One or Sactimonious willows? All, none? The Celestial Chorus has morphed considerably from harbingers of armageddon to crypto-Catholics to egalitarian home of all religions. Find out how Chorus has changed over its multi-millenium history and where it's trying to go with Adam and Terry. Traditions Gathered 3: Swords of Faith Useful conversation on religion in Mage  with James Estes Ars Magica, precursor to Mage notable for a list of things you can't do Undoing the Embrace with magick, discussed in Blood Treachery and The Red Sign Is a hot dog a sandwich meme Mithraicism - Roman mystery cult Bhishma - Character in the Mahabharata. Know as a warrior, archer, and celibate. Council of Nicaea - Early gathering of Christian bishops rumored to be influenced by Choristers  Additional Books for Celestial Chorus Read the poem at the start of G.K. Chesterton's book The Man Who Was Thursday.  An epic example of Chorister worldview. Father Brown Stories by G.K. Chesterton These short fiction stories have been published in different collections over the years.  Each story is a detective tale about a Catholic priest who, while ordinary-looking and easily ignored, nonetheless proves to be intelligent and perceptive enough to see through the clues and help the authorities solve the case.  A good example of a Chorister who uses the theology and compassion he learns from his religion to help shepherd the flock. Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton A book explaining the reasons for Christian beliefs. Despite the austere title, it's full of wit and humor.  A good peek into the mindset of the Messianic Voices. Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis A short apologetics book that reads quickly.  It starts at simple observations and builds towards a Messianic Voices view on life.  Also shows other worldviews that are contained within the Celestial Chorus. For Show Notes: Celestial Chorus page at Anders Mage Page 2.0 http://mage.gearsonline.net/anders/factions/chorus/ Sandberg's expanded piece The Gnostics is just the thing to show a very different face of the Celestial Chorus in your games.  Culture Clash shows a more typical Chorister.  ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mage-the-podcast/message

A Guide to the Mage: The Ascension Tarot with S. Rune Emerson

On today’s show Adam Simpson discusses Tradition Book: Virtual Adepts by Darren McKeeman. The youngest magical Tradition is the most vibrant and the most irreverent. Virtual Adepts dont waste time delving into ancient grimoires or contemplating their navels. They’re too busy surfing the razors edge of the next zeitgeist. They dont follow trends, they make them. By the time the mainstream catches up to their latest idea, they’ve moved on to new frontiers of space and mind.  Where is Dante now? Demon Seed Elite What is a Tradition book supposed to do?  Transhumanism Ideal future of the Virtual Adepts (VA) vs. Iteration X  Hacker culture Virtual Reality movies of the 1990s VA attitude Four Legions of the VAs  How did the VAs stay hip so long? Are trinary computers all that?
