Episode 33 - Bag of Tricks
Let's give Focus (or *cough* foci *cough*) another shot, shall we? You can really tell where I went off-script for this one. But writing it helped me understand it better, so I hope it helps all of you, too. For anyone who got switched off
Episode 32 - The Thinning of the Veil
Back in black with my actual proper editing tech! It's time to check out the Kha'vadi in this month's episode. As I mention at the top of the episode, yesterday (September 30th) was Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as well
Episode 31 - I Know a Guy
Heads up about this episode - it's not perfect. Of course, my carefully planned return went to pieces the moment I looked away. I found an issue with Episode 31 and so figured I'd fix it and edit it quickly while I was out of town given tha
Episode 30 - I Cast Punch!
We're Back! I did it! An episode from The Before Times - that I never quite got edited and uploaded. Enjoy your double length feature on magic in combat! If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a tip
Episode 29.9 - Welcome Back
Content Warning: Life events. Hey folks. I'm sorry I went AWOL after hoping I'd be back. This brief blurb sort of explains things - at least as much as I want to explain them. Thanks for being here. If you are feeling generous and want me t
Episode 29.5 - Combat Example
Well. That was certainly. A break. If you're still here, thank you. I'm sorry I had to deal with a lot of life all suddenly, and this example isn't quite up to snuff (particularly the ending, but that's another story), but it's here. Finall
Episode 29 - Fight Club
Time for a hefty episode about combat mechanics - something I'm sure everyone wanted, and most people do actually need. This episode is just the very basic and mundane combat mechanics, and I'll be doing another episode on the magic side of
Episode 29.25 - An Interlude
Just a quick note explaining the delay on the combat example piece. Life is being a bit rough at the moment, but I'm hoping to be back in full force soon! If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a ti
Episode 28 - Hollowed Ground
What's this? What's this! An early Paradox episode?! Happy Hallowe'en! Spooky season continues with a look at the Hollow Ones. If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a tip jar - but no pressure: htt
Episode 27 - Death and Taxes
Look at us go! Got this episode out *almost* when it was supposed to come out! It's spooky season - so let's talk about death, jhor, and the Chakravanti. If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a tip
Episode 26 - Zen and the Art of Magic
Here we go again - it's the Akashayana this time! If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a tip jar - but no pressure: https://ko-fi.com/tiptheparadoxspirits --- Jen is a cast member at Dork Tales wi
Episode 25 - The Stereotypical Wizard
Sorry for the delay on this one - turns out I had more to say about the Hermetics than I thought! (Shocker, I know). However, someone who is often wiser than I am reminded me that a Hermetic is never late. Nor are they early. They arrive pr
Episode 24 - The Week of Nightmares
It's the 25th anniversary of the Week of Nightmares - so I had to do an episode on it! Don't worry, there'll be less metaplot in the months to come, I think I've done enough of it for now. If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doi
Episode 23 - Metaplot Madness
Hey look, a new episode! Just a brief little intro to some of the metaplot from Mage. Enjoy! If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a tip jar - but no pressure: https://ko-fi.com/tiptheparadoxspirit

Episode 21.75 - Heather's Seeking
Hello again! A new episode you ask? Not really - but as part of my apology for being behind on episode 22 I'm releasing other seekings I've done for Technocracy Zero Sum. It's Heather's turn! And somehow hers is the most Technocratic of the
Episode 21.5 - Nolan's Seeking
Hello again! A new episode you ask? Not really - but as part of my apology for being behind on episode 22 I'm releasing other seekings I've done for Technocracy Zero Sum. This time it's Nolan's turn in the hot seat, and Kelly has many, many
Episode 21.25 - An Apology for the Delay
Hey folks - this is just a brief note to say hey, I'm not dead, and April's episode will be pushed back to May. The timestamp is correct - it's about 2 minutes of me just explaining what the heck has been going on with me. Hi to all the new
Episode 21 - Plot Twists and Paradoxes Part 1
Hello again! Episode 21 is here to kick off the FIRST anniversary of the podcast! I can't believe it's been almost a year! In early April I'll release part 2 of this extra long chat I had with Kelly about the mage metaplot (part 1) and Para
Episode 20 - Spellbound
Hello again! Episode 20 is finally here! Some life got in the way, as I explain in the episode, but also this episode got BIG. It makes sense since it's about Prime (which is kind of a big deal in Mage). Also I started rambling on tangents
Episode 19 - Unraveling Chaos
Starting the new year off with a bang! We're back to sphere deep dives with the final two - this week is Entropy. I adore the entropy sphere, so come listen to me talk about it for 15 minutes, give or take. If you are feeling generous and w
Episode 18 - The Power of Three
If I've mentioned it once, I've mentioned it...at least three times. It's time to talk about the Metaphysic trinity in Mage the Ascension (or Metaphysical trinity, if you're fancy). The forum post by Saikou that I mention is https://forum.t
Episode 17 - The Essence of the Matter
Where does a mage's magic really come from? Let's talk about the Avatar - what is it, and what does it mean for your mage? If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a tip jar - but no pressure: https:/
Episode 16 - Mechanics 101
Time to get back to some basics! We've been learning a lot about spheres and the Mage cosmology - but how about how to actually play the game? Special thanks to Terry over at Mage: the Podcast (https://magethepodcast.com/) for a fantastic i
Episode 15 - Lost and Found
The long lost Correspondence and Data sphere episode has finally dropped! Learn about all the wacky fun you can have as a mage with power over spatial relations or the data that makes the world go round. If you are feeling generous and want
Episode 14 - Spirits Unveiled
Happy almost Hallowe'en! Today we're looking at the Spirit sphere and its Technocratic counterpart - Dimensional Science. Also - join Dork Tales NEXT weekend (November 3rd-5th) for the FIFTH year of streaming games for Extra Life and the Ch
Episode 13 - Reality Check
Happy Friday the 13th! Today we're looking at the wide WIDE universe in the mage cosmology and trying to wrap our heads around the many umbrae, realms, zones, and various things called "Horizon." Apologies for no episode last week - as I me
Episode 12 - Wibbly Wobbly
In Episode 12, Jen looks more closely at the Time sphere, tackling the difficult questions of time travel and manipulation of the time-space continuum. If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing, I've added a tip j
Episode 11 - A Bit of Context
In Episode 11, Jen takes a bit of time to explain the major factions of Mage: the Ascension, and to extrapolate a little more on Focus and Paradigm. In addition, there are several other supplemental books that weren't listed that may help w
Episode 10 - Focus on Your Paradigm
Episode 10! We made it! And it still feels like we haven't scratched the surface of mage - but that just means there's more episodes to come. Two guests - Kelly Clark and Travis Legge - join Jen this week to talk about the ins and outs of p
