In this special episode - taking the place of last week's audio failure - Jen runs a seeking for Robin, another Dork Tales member, who plays Tegan in Technocracy: Zero Sum. A seeking is a special quest a mage's Avatar sets them and usually involves a choice or decision that the mage needs to make in order to continue growing and developing as a mage - or, in mechanical terms, to gain a point of Arete. Technocratic seekings are usually very different than Mage seekings - and they're usually called Mediations or Epiphanies - but due to the plot of Technocracy: Zero Sum, Jen took some liberties.
Enjoy! And regular Paradox Episodes will be back in 2 weeks on June 9th.

Always wondered how to get into TTRPGs? What do you actually need to get started? What the heck is a d10? In Episode 2, Jen goes through the basics of TTRPGs in general and M20 in particular as a way to provide a starting place for new players of ANY TTRPG - though Mage is, of course, recommended.

Join Jen and Kelly on the first episode of Paradox where we discuss Mage: the Ascension - what it is, and what we love about it.
Mage: the Ascension is a TTRPG about modern magic, reality, and the people who can adapt and change that reality to their own world view. It has many fans, but also many people who find the system convoluted and confusing. This podcast is designed to provided clarity and encouragement from creating a character to running your own game.
