    Episode 29.5 - Combat Example

    Well. That was certainly. A break. If you're still here, thank you. I'm sorry I had to deal with a lot of life all suddenly, and this example isn't quite up to snuff (particularly the ending, but that's another story), but it's here. Finally. We're back baby!   I do recommend re-listening to Episode 29 before this, as I literally clipped this out of that episode and therefore don't explain everything again. However, I also managed to accidentally save Episode 29 as a Draft, which meant I had to republish it.....So if you're wondering why it showed up again, apparently my subconscious needed you to remember it! Or something. Maybe I'm just tired....That's probably it.   If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a tip jar - but no pressure: https://ko-fi.com/tiptheparadoxspirits --- Jen is a cast member at Dork Tales with a particular love for World of Darkness games, especially Mage: the Ascension.

    Episode 29 - Fight Club

    Time for a hefty episode about combat mechanics - something I'm sure everyone wanted, and most people do actually need. This episode is just the very basic and mundane combat mechanics, and I'll be doing another episode on the magic side of things for January's episode - after I get the combat example edited, of course!   Happy Holidays to all who celebrate!   If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a tip jar - but no pressure: https://ko-fi.com/tiptheparadoxspirits --- Jen is a cast member at Dork Tales with a particular love for World of Darkness games, especially Mage: the Ascension.

    Episode 29.25 - An Interlude

    Just a quick note explaining the delay on the combat example piece.

    Episode 25 - The Stereotypical Wizard

    Sorry for the delay on this one - turns out I had more to say about the Hermetics than I thought! (Shocker, I know). However, someone who is often wiser than I am reminded me that a Hermetic is never late. Nor are they early. They arrive precisely when they mean to. So, I hope you enjoy this extra-large serving of Mage!   If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a tip jar - but no pressure: https://ko-fi.com/tiptheparadoxspirits --- Jen is a cast member at Dork Tales with a particular love for World of Darkness games, especially Mage: the Ascension.

    Episode 24 - The Week of Nightmares

    It's the 25th anniversary of the Week of Nightmares - so I had to do an episode on it! Don't worry, there'll be less metaplot in the months to come, I think I've done enough of it for now.   If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a tip jar - but no pressure: https://ko-fi.com/tiptheparadoxspirits --- Jen is a cast member at Dork Tales with a particular love for World of Darkness games, especially Mage: the Ascension.
