Anima - A Mage Ascension Chronicle
World of Darkness, Mage the Ascension 20th Anniversary | Campaign
About the adventure
Your mages are part of a World of Darkness still recovering from the Event that happened 20 years ago. The world now is very unlike the world then. The Event changed everything for all mages, regardless of faction. New powers rise as old powers weaken. The war for reality changes, but does not end. Your home is Detroit, a city once known for its roaring engines and industrial might, now stands as a haunting relic of a bygone era. Its skeletal skyscrapers pierce the bleak skyline, their decaying grandeur a stark contrast to the desolate streets below. A city trying to rebuild from the rubble of the past, it is full of culture and music and life, but also a labyrinth of abandoned factories, crumbling infrastructure, and forgotten neighborhoods, each holding its own dark secrets. Your tale will be a story of new powers clashing with old, when sorcery clashing with science awakens ancient things long forgotten by everyone.
The will workers have banded together with their mystery benefactor against their common enemy. They have chosen a corporate project to sabotage and destroy. This project seeks to merge Avatars with unawakened humans and as a member of the group can attest, has met with at least some success. Meanwhile, group members work to slowly ruin the reputation of the corporation across the city, and infiltrate them from the ground up.

Tyler is a great dm who has a great setup on Foundry and knows his stuff. His setting is amazing and it's apparent he's put a lot of work into it. They're patient and knowledgeable so if you're on the fence I would say give them a shot!

Tyler is a fantastic storyteller. He encourages creativity and free thinking in his players even if the ideas being bounced around are poorly thought out.

As a beginner, I have fun playing with Tyler. He knows the rules, is patient with new players and uses good background materials, such as music and high quality maps. Tyler puts a lot of work into his games.

I've been playing TTRPGs for over a decade at this point and Tyler is the best GM I've ever played with. He knows the games inside and out, tells great stories and is a really good guy.

Tyler is a super nice guy! I really like his DM'ing style, he cares as much about the story as mechanics, sets a great mood, and is very accommodating to his players. He is exceptional at communicating and does a good job of ensuring everyone gets a chance to be in the spotlight. I would highly recommend him

Tyler knows World of Darkness in general and Mage 20th Ascension in particular inside out. Learning something new on any conversation and session is an understatement. Reachable and available via DM, I would recommend him to any player be it beginner or experienced.
Additional details
How to prepare
All you need is a decent microphone and a desire for an amazing story! Video is available, but is not required.
What I provide
I will have Foundry ready with maps, artwork, handouts, and full ambient music. I will also have PDFs available for any players who need them.
Gameplay details
I have a Google form I will send you once you sign up that will very thoroughly go through lines and veils. I also use digital and/or messaged and/or held up on video X, N, & 0 cards. I am also available after each session for aftercare, as needed. At session 0 we will go over lines and veils that were filled out ahead of time (anonymously) so player expectations can be set.
