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.

Episode 10! We made it! And it still feels like we haven't scratched the surface of mage - but that just means there's more episodes to come.
Two guests - Kelly Clark and Travis Legge - join Jen this week to talk about the ins and outs of paradigm including what it is and what it means for your character.
Apologies for some of Travis' audio, the microphone didn't always like picking up his voice and in some cases I could make it louder and a little more distorted, but still audible, and in others I simply couldn't. Thanks for listening anyway!
