About me
I enjoy learning about various ttrpgs. I generally run Chronicles of Darkness splats. However, I'm not opposed to running other games if asked. I definitely prefer more roleplay heavy games and would like to use this platform as a way to spread empathy and understanding.

Creating your character
Character creation will be done all together during session 0. It's tempting to have character secrets, and I'm more than fine with this. However, for this system, having everyone understand the big strokes of all the characters is important so we can start talking about how their dynamics might work as a group. Players will play with the New Mage template from the Signs of Sorcery book. Note the differences in the basic character creation and New Mage template are minor so please don't let that discourage you. We will also be going over homebrew which is designed for more well rounded character growth making each level of an arcana feel more important.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Mics are encouraged but not necessary as long as you can hear me. I'll be providing both an in character and out of character chat for those who don't wish to speak verbally or can't.
What Fey Mischief brings to the table
I will bring links to the core rulebook(as well as where other books can be gained) and Mr.Gone's character sheets. I will also be providing a roll20 character sheets if you would prefer that. However the game will be theater of the mind meaning we won't have an exact map.

Safety
How Fey Mischief creates a safe table
First and foremost. There are ALLOT of warnings. I don't expect most of these to come up. However you never know. Lines & Veils as well as Stars & Wishes will be done via a private discord for that specific game. This game will be slower paced and I will take the time to explain any specifics. As such unlike most Mage games the day to day will be more important, meaning you'll have to make your own "downtime" (I will be helping as much as I can of course and promoting teamwork amongst the cabal[group of mages]). Intercabal conflict is expected and as such will have in-depth discussions about it. We want our character to be at odds not our players.
