Paradox: A Mage the Ascension Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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!

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 I've mentioned it once, I've mentioned it...at least three times. It's time to talk about the Metaphysic trinity in Mage the Ascension (or Metaphysical trinity, if you're fancy). The forum post by Saikou that I mention is here, and I truly thank so many other people for being able to explain things in a way I understand.

Happy Holidays from Paradox!

Time to get back to some basics! We've been learning a lot about spheres and the Mage cosmology - but how about how to actually play the game?

Special thanks to Terry over at Mage: the Podcast for a fantastic interview - maybe we'll get a chance to see you over here one day as well!

Happy Friday the 13th! Today we're looking at the wide WIDE universe in the mage cosmology and trying to wrap our heads around the many umbrae, realms, zones, and various things called "Horizon."

Apologies for no episode last week - as I mentioned on my channel on the Dork Tales discord server, I had Covid and lost my voice. You can still hear some of the cracks in this episode, but I tried to keep it as limited as I could.

In Episode 11, Jen takes a bit of time to explain the major factions of Mage: the Ascension, and to extrapolate a little more on Focus and Paradigm. In addition, there are several other supplemental books that weren't listed that may help with paradigm such as:

• Believe in Magick - a guide for new players
• Paradigm Explored: Fairy-Faith
• Prism of Focus

There's more to come in future episodes! Leave a comment if there's anything in particular you'd like to know more about.
