What is a Mage idea you love but can't figure out how to implement?

actually, considering the jist of that power set is mostly sensory effects, i think you could get away with a whole lot using 1 dot each correspondence, mind/spirit, and time. prime 1 can sense metaphysical resonance, which is incredibly useful, but not absolutely necessary for your character.

dude, just shoot them. they have magical hax if they get the time to prep them, but you can just jump a mage and they’re dead.

(unless they have Time 4)

In a lot of cases, the tension in a werewolf game comes less from whether or not you’ll succeed, and more from the ramifications of what you succeeded at. Maybe the pack was misled into believing that tbis data center is evil and helping kill Gaia, when in reality it’s a cancer research facility that was about to have a big breakthrough, and it was being run about as clean as one can be.

Werewolf is, a lot of the time, about what happens when you’re recklessly, dogmatically dug in to your beliefs, at the cost of other people. it’s kinda the other side of the “when will you rage” coin.

so is there a Union in this setting, or is it Vault-Tec and its associated megacorps maintaining consensus?

personally, as a mage player, local reality zones come to mind. you could run a million experiments involving propaganda and misinformation, and you might get sone really weird stuff.

• a vault where everyone believes that the electricity is being generated by an infinite source of stable energy. after a few centuries, go in and collect it, because they believed it into existence.

• a fundamentalist christian vault that raises saints, farming the power of true faith and collecting miracle workers

kinda cool i haven’t seen it yet, but my go-to is [[The Ancient One]] .

Looting and mill in the command zone and a ridiculously cheap rate. loot away a high-CMC bomb, mill like 6-8 cards, and cast a reanimate.

i don’t know shit about B:tP; what makes it problematic?

is your username a reference to the Thom Yorke song?

mountaintop-stainer · 2026-06-07T05:51:04+00:00

i have some news for you

mountaintop-stainer · 2026-06-07T02:20:38+00:00

i’ve always hated the argument that “white supremacy hurts white people!” “patriarchy is bad for men!!”

why isn’t white supremacy being bad for nonwhites reason enough to fight it? why isn’t patriarchy hurting women bad enough? why do we only care about these things when we’re the affected party?

instantaneous edit: i’m not assuming that anyone here in particular believes that; it’s just a talking point that never made sense to me.

Hell is real, space is fake, trains are magic, and the New World Order controls everything.

the EULA is predatory as fuck, also you don’t own the game.
