HOW DOES MAGICK WORK? - Mage Monday - Mage: The Ascension Lore

Ойындар

Magick is real.
And that's magick with a k.
Welcome to a new lore video about Mage: The Ascension! Moving forward, I plan to include Mage among the lore videos I usually produce for Mondays on my channel.
In this video, I'll be discussing how Magick works.
Mage has been referred to as the 'thinking gamer's game' and honestly, it's a fair assessment. Mage has a massive lexicon, an intricate metaplot, and challenges its players to make a difference in their world.
Remember: Reality is what you make of it.

    Love the themes of mage (pride and the fall). Shockingly the system makes a good deal of sense to me, however will admit as a ST. I am terrified to run it, as good Lord the possibilities are endless.

    Thank you, it's referred to as "the thinking gamer's game" and rightfully so. I try to make the lore as easily digestible as possible, though 🙂

    I like these videos, they help me understand the lore much easier and it's so interesting! Honestly I hope in the future that we'll get novel games like Night Road with the other settings they have, like Mage 😸

    Thank you so much for this lucid and concise summary on Magick. As the core concept of MTA, its all too easy to get sucked down the rabbit hole and become overwhelmed by how Magick works. On a personal note, I'll take the world of MTA over Hogwarts anyday. Most excellent video, Huddy!! 😋

    Did Mage: The Ascension use the word "Magick" or "Magic"? In this world Crowley changed the spelling of "Magic" to "Magick" in order to make the occult information easier to find. Adding fiction to it once again makes occult information harder to find.

    Can coincidental magic be used to enhance your own luck for exactly that? I'm new here but I imagine that could work with the right paradigm.

    Why aren't there any videos that cover the actual how-to mechanics? Every mage video is all about the lore. But not, this is your dice pool, here is how your roll, etc. I am convinced nobody knows how to actually play the game. Even the book itself is is like 600 pages of lore and maybe, maybe buried somewhere in there is the actual rules and gameplay.

    All of my videos are about Lore. I do not go into the mechanics of any of the World of Darkness games I cover, not even Vampire, which I play frequently. You're in the wrong place.

    @@Huddyvonschland No I understand, its just hilarious. Every youtuber that mentions this game only discusses the lore, the core rules book itself is mostly lore. I have never seen a system (even in World of Darkness) so focused on Lore without explaining the gameplay or mechanics. I am not sure a right place even exist. I think I am on page 200 of the book and the world seems really cool but I have no idea how to play the game let alone GM it. It hasn't even mentioned dice yet.

    It's mostly since it's strikingly rules-light. It's a group telling a story after all. There are rules, but it's best done looking at the actual book to figure out what you're doing. The information in M20 is pretty easy to find at least.
