We're Back! I did it!
An episode from The Before Times - that I never quite got edited and uploaded. Enjoy your double length feature on magic in combat!

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.

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!

Just a quick note explaining the delay on the combat example piece. Life is being a bit rough at the moment, but I'm hoping to be back in full force soon!

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.
