About the adventure
Welcome to the world of Mage the Ascension, and to the ranks of the Sorcerers (or Enlightened Citizens, to the Technocratic Union) that live on the edges of the Ascension War, sometimes taking sides in its battles, other times carving their own domains within the Reality all willworkers fight for. In the Summer solstice of 2025 near Phoenix, AR the 114 years anniversary of the famous "Paradigma" Magazine of the Society of Ether was held to great success - until a surprise technocratic raid brought everything to chaos... Having escaped from that event yours characters found themselves incriminated by the host of the event as the ones to blame by the incident. Now, hiding within Phoenix and it's technomacer's dome of influence, the intrepid Runaways must rise against the odds, make allies and clear their name against a enemy that may challenge their powers combine. Are they going to be just another discarded pawns in the board of the Ascension War, or will they push through and become legends? In this World of Darkness, danger and success could always be waiting just behind the next curve in the road of fate... A great game for both beginners and veterans of Mage the Ascension (or Sorcerer), with 16 years of experience as a DM and more than 600 hours as a Mage Storyteller to back it up.

About me
Hello! My name is Daniel and I've been a GM since my first time playing when I was 13 years old. I'm also a Psychologist, and my deep interest in the human mind has helped me in my DM journey, crafting worlds, characters, stories and connections between them, creating vibrant worlds for my players to immerse themselves in.

Creating your character
We'll work on character concepts and ideas through discord before the game, then we'll polish those ideas to completion with a session 0 (which I don't charge for).
The current group is comprised of one Hermetic (Verditius), and one Gynoid (Psychic). New characters would join them in risking their lives in dangerous hijinks to gain the trust of other local mystic groups as they gather allies to set things right.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a computer with an internet browser , a discord account in order to access the discord and a microphone for using on voice chat.
What Daniel E. brings to the table
I DM using Foundry VTT for maps, sheets and dice (also music, which we'll discuss depending on the themes and premise details the players prefer) - and discord for voice and text chat. My GM style involves a balance between roleplay and combat - I often try to make stories that may be solved with as little combat as possible but do offer diverse combat experiences if that's what the players prefer. This is still a World of Darkness game, so do keep in mind that dark themes are to be expected somewhat.
Homebrew rules
If the group prefers I'm open to variations on the game's usual power-levels and premise - Would you want to play mages instead? Would a Technocracy version of this story be cooler? Should everyone begin with more Numina points? Or maybe you were apprentices when your mentor died? Any such decisions will be discussed on session 0.
