Creating your character
Players should have a general idea of the character they want to play. A one page background is encouraged, so I can review it before sesion 0. On session 0 we will discuss some of the more complex intrecacies of the system and the paradigm proposal mage has. We will see how the different character may play off of each other, then make the necesary adjustments and technical corrections After the session they can take their time to create a more in depth background (which they must share with me via email for feedback). Not everything need be set in stone, but deciding on some key features will facilitate gameplay and fun
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I have set up a discord server for us to use. There we can host the sessions (voice chat), share images and links of characters and places, and I can keep everyone up to date for any public announcements, etc.
What Pedro brings to the table
I place the player's comfort and enjoyment above all else, then the story, then the mechanics I am flexible with rules but make sure they remain coherent and practical I do some character voices when the mood strikes me
Homebrew rules
I have somewhat modified the combat to be more streamline, using learnings from Mage: the ascention and other systems, to let magic shine and not boggle down the action

How Pedro creates a safe table
We will be using Lines and Veils. Players will message me a list of their lines and veils, then I will share a live document with the whole party and have a brief discussion on sesion 0 to confirm everyone is aware of what the boundaries are going to be. If any player who submited their lines and veils wishes to change them going forward, they can do so in the document or directly message me to do so
