Mage: Paths In Darkness

Setting: Chicago, 2014

This Chronicle is set in Chicago, because that is a city of darkness in our world. In the WOD, it is even worse. Characters do not have to be from Chicago area. We will work out how they ended up there in character creation and the Prelude. Murder rates are higher than in the real world, officials are more corrupt, or under the sway of other forces. Vampire politics clash with Glass Walker Werewolves. The Unseelie Changeling Princess schemes against the Fae Prince. The Technocracy plots the next release of technology, while growing more and more disturbed by the supernatural forces around them. Nephandi and Marauders leave chaos and death behind. Amid all that, the Tradition Mages seek to survive and find their way to Ascension and help the sleepers around them along their paths as well.

Themes and Moods

Journey: The theme is a light in the darkness on a path to the unknown.

Danger: Life is dangerous, and there are no guarantees of safety. Be prepared that your character might not survive. If that happens, we will create a new one. Gregor came within one success of dying in the Werewolf game. The dice will fall where they may.

Both Together and Apart: The characters are together, but also working their own paths. The team needs to help each other along, especially when it gets weird.

Creativity: Mages are great sources of creativity; embraces yours. Awakening is like being reborn as a child.

Campaign Resources

We are using the 2nd Ed. Core Rule Book Mage: 20th Anniversary Edition. Book of Shadows Player’s Guide. Tradition books loaded into the Dropbox or the ones I own. These are a mixture of first and second edition. Any Brotherhood characters may start with Do (the drop boxes in Other Traits has it).
