Mage: The Ascension by Satyros Phil Brucato

5.0

This is my Holy Grail of RPGs. I've been playing, running, and writing stuff for RPGs since I was 12yo, and Mage continues to intrigue, inspire, and elude me. It is a book that I continually go back to and re-read; every few years I try to create a stable group to play a chronicle (succeeded only once, on twitter of all places). The imagery evoked by the setting, the rules of the magic system, and the style in which it is written were what inspired me to explore the real World looking for real Magick, back when I was a teenager. Love it, hope to play it again and again in my life, and can't wait for the 20th Anniversary edition. Reality is up for grabs. Ascension is the goal. Magick is the key.
