Hello again! A new episode you ask? Not really - but as part of my apology for being behind on episode 22 I'm releasing other seekings I've done for Technocracy Zero Sum. It's Heather's turn! And somehow hers is the most Technocratic of them all!
This seeking takes place between episodes nine and ten, neither of which have been released to the public yet, so be warned of spoilers.

Hello again! A new episode you ask? Not really - but as part of my apology for being behind on episode 22 I'm releasing other seekings I've done for Technocracy Zero Sum. This time it's Nolan's turn in the hot seat, and Kelly has many, many concerns.
This seeking takes place between episodes six and seven, which are both out on YouTube now, but be warned, for here there be spoilers.

Hey folks - this is just a brief note to say hey, I'm not dead, and April's episode will be pushed back to May. The timestamp is correct - it's about 2 minutes of me just explaining what the heck has been going on with me. Hi to all the new people and thanks for your patience to those who have stuck with me. I appreciate you all, and I'm going to at least get something up before the end of April and I'll have the actual episode 22 up for the beginning of May <3.

Hello again! Episode 21 is here to kick off the FIRST anniversary of the podcast! I can't believe it's been almost a year! In early April I'll release part 2 of this extra long chat I had with Kelly about the mage metaplot (part 1) and Paradox itself (part 2).

Hello again! Episode 20 is finally here! Some life got in the way, as I explain in the episode, but also this episode got BIG. It makes sense since it's about Prime (which is kind of a big deal in Mage). Also I started rambling on tangents - related tangents! But sometimes this happens when I talk Mage, so we're all going to have to live with it.
Apologies for some slightly off audio this time around - I ran into a few tech issues as well.
(Note: as of February 3, 2024, 2:20 PM Pacific time, the tip jar linked below has started working again! Do let me know of any issues either through a message here or over on the Dork Tales discord server on my channel - Jen's Paradoxical Podcast Palace)

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!
