Mage: The Awakening

A modern occult roleplaying game set in the World of Darkness, where awakened mages uncover the hidden rules of reality and seek to reshape the world through mystical paths to higher realms. Players create characters from different magical paths and orders, investigate supernatural mysteries, and cast spells with a flexible system capable of representing nearly any effect. Magic carries risks: imposing conflicting laws on reality can cause Paradox, while revealing forbidden secrets may endanger both mages and ordinary people. The core book includes the setting of Boston, details on the Awakened world, and the rules needed to tell stories of modern sorcery. Requires the World of Darkness rulebook for play.
