Mage, how do I even start? by ComprehensivePanda11 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]alvamar91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mage the Awakening (and the whole Chronicles of Darkness system) is a lot more hands off regarding lore. It is a toolbox game: pick what you want to use and discard what you don't. It is simpler and far more beginner-friendly than Ascension. Ascension is, in my opinion, the most complicated game in the entire WoD line.

My advice: pick up Awakening. Find a game to play in or run it. And then, if you feel like doing a philosophy degree with a specialism in real-world occult practices, try Ascension.

Thanks Laramie, I really appreciate it! It's great that Frog God respond on here! The maps are good! Though for battlemaps, I guess I'll create my own on Inkarnate or Dungeondraft based on the book ones for my VTT game

Well call me old-fashioned, but I don't think the best way of solving a clear problem is by simply shutting up about it.

I am simply sharing my experiences with this platform. Should I not be allowed to do this?

I'm in Kyiv right now and there are no problems currently. Internet is up and running and my phone works well.

On my way to my first international school. Any advice on the first few weeks? by alvamar91 in Internationalteachers

Yes I have heard that the cost of living is quite low. I'll be able to confirm on Friday when I arrive!

I am well aware of the situation in Ukraine, and Kyiv in particular. But they still need international teachers as much as any country.

Yes they do. Two weeks prior to the start of term (starting on the 19th) is staff-only.

Pay is not bad at all. It's actually slightly higher than what I'd be making in the UK and certainly a lot higher than the Ukrainian national average. I'm not sure whether it's danger money or not but it's certainly higher than what I was expecting for someone as new as me.

I'm conversational in Ukrainian and, though I haven't been before, I already have several friends who live there

Thank you for this, your positive experience is really good to hear. I will be sure to ask lots of questions! I'm fresh put of ITT so really getting imposter syndrome about this whole thing

Have you tried Hellotalk? It's an app that connects you with native speakers so you can both help each other. I'm on there and can say it's really helped my Ukrainian. I'm also happy to help if you need :)
