- | ====== Mage: Paths In Darkness====== | + | ====== Mage: The Ascension====== |
- | **Setting: Chicago, 2014** | + | ===== Campaigns ===== |
- | This Chronicle is set in Chicago, because that is a city of darkness in our world. In the WOD, it is even worse. Characters do not have to be from Chicago area. We will work out how they ended up there in character creation and the Prelude. | + | [[game_systems:world_of_darkness:mage:paths_in_darkness|Paths in Darkness]] |
- | Murder rates are higher than in the real world, officials are more corrupt, or under the sway of other forces. Vampire politics clash with Glass Walker Werewolves. The Unseelie Changeling Princess schemes against the Fae Prince. The Technocracy plots the next release of technology, while growing more and more disturbed by the supernatural forces around them. Nephandi and Marauders leave chaos and death behind. Amid all that, the Tradition Mages seek to survive and find their way to Ascension and help the sleepers around them along their paths as well. | + | |
