Wolf for Mage HST

[Wolf]

Hello my name is Wolf and I am announcing my candidacy for the Mage HST slot. I have been playing in Justin’s campaign for about a year now and have enjoyed my time there. I have plans to bring in more people (completely new players) and I am hoping to bribe some people to either come back or give Mage another shot.

Not knowing how to approach this I will tell you a few things about me that may be of note:

I have only missed a single game since I started playing in ECC.

I show up early to both games and am always prepared for each gaming session with all the needed materials as well as backups. (I love smartphones)

Some people tend to get worn out story telling over time, I have always been a resilient DM/ST with my longest game going a little over 3 years.

While I am not an immovable stone I am by no means a pushover. I have an ex-wife and a country mom so whining will get you nowhere.

In addition to all this I am Wolf; I am awesome and you should all come bask in the glory that is me.

I am currently looking for a few a.s.t.’s , but not knowing who’s familiar with the game system is making that a little tough at the moment.

Please post any questions or pm/email/call/text me with any interest in a staff position.

XOXOXOX,
Wolf

How familiar would you say you are with the rules of Mage: the Ascension?

What is the ideal combination of meta-plot and "player-driven" plot? Where "player-driven" means the result of a PCs actions/Flaws.

How do you regard the current state of house rules in the Mage sphere?

What is your understanding of and stance on Technocratic PCs?

What is the single most unique goal you would have for game as an HST that you would be willing to state right now?

[Wolf]

I have what I feel is a basic understanding of the system. There is a lot to learn as I’ve just been introduced to some extra books that belong to this system. (75ish more)

I would like to have more player plot than meta-plot. That will require some more people to start the driving of a player based plot.

They’re old. With that said I would like the input from the players/potential players on them and go from there.

I would need to see a good back story. It’s not something I am closed to.

This is a question I've been struggling with, because there are so many goals that seem important to me. Gun to my head… I’d have to say my plan for mentoring/setting people up with mentors would be my most unique goal.

[Wolf]

Things I hope to modify If/when I’m elected H.S.T.

Getting time back on track:

I plan on returning to the standard time progression that most of the spheres use as S.O.P.

Back of the house issues:

I plan on returning paperwork to the game on a regular basis. Things like Mid-week forms willpower tokens and character sheet back-ups. I will be encouraging I.C. posts with XP as well as co-op midweeks.

Players:

I have heard rumors that some of the former mage players may have been rubbed the wrong way (I have cleaned up what I’ve heard.) I would like you to come back and try me out; if you’re on the fence just shoot me a call let’s talk about it and see what we can do.

I have great plans for new players. I have 7 who will be coming to join if I am elected to play (prolly even if I’m not.) This attraction plan will work to bring in unsuspecting suckers……err players to help breath in new life to the game. This means with some luck they will join a 10pm sphere as well. (crossed fingers)

Staff:

I am hoping to have a staff of just crazy enough people who will help make sure there aren’t a $#!& load of people standing around waiting for an S.T. I do not plan on being an iron fist with my staff.. Maybe mahogany or a golden oak but defiantly not iron. If I trust you enough to work with you on staff, you have earned your right to an opinion if not equal to even my own. I don’t know how each sphere’s staff is being treated by their dictator and I’m not saying there doing it wrong at all, I just wanted to put my intentions on the table for all interested parties.

I’d like to go over more with people, with that said I would like to invite all interested partied to the location mage is held this Saturday at 6pm for some Q&A/hangout. This week’s mage game is being canceled as Justin is otherwise occupied. If I have enough R.S.V.P’s I will be having Jimmy johns catering the event and an ice chest of cold sodas.

Any people feeling the need to pay for the food that I will be giving away will go to ECC.

If this sounds like a bribe to elect me/play mage…. you are correct.

XOXOXO,
Wolf

Good news everyone!

Phil has agreed to step up on my staff!

His schedule will dictate what his role will be but we've already broken ground on some awesome ideas.

You rock Phil!

That will be all.

Howdy folks!

Most of you may have heard of me through other games that I've played at EC or possibly even through my history as a long time staffer for Mage.

The experience I am bringing spans two AST terms and two HST terms at Mage. I've played in Mage pretty much any time I wasn't putting my blood, sweat, and tears into it. In short, I am bringing my passion for Mage back to show how much I've missed it all this time I've been away.

Above all, my #1 goal in this is to help new and old players alike explore their character's paradigms and individual stories. Awakening and the path to Ascension is a very personal experience for every character, and I want to capture that experience for the players.

If you ever feel your character is stagnating, I will be glad to talk frankly about it with you anytime. Hopefully we can work together to bring your experience to another level.

Thanks for having me!

~Phil

p.s. Currently I am waiting for my new work schedule to know if I will be AT game to help, but regardless I will be doing everything I can to make a difference!

Not all issues a character will face will inherently be magical in nature. What is your take on issues in the mortal world and having your players face them?

What is your stance on hedge wizards, ie Sorcerers and Psychics? Will those be playable?

[Wolf]

The mortal world has its place in my game. Interacting with the mortal world through influence actions, as well as simple small arms deals and so on will impact the players greatly. As it stands the mortal world is a massive part of the game that I don’t think the game could function without.

Yes, I don’t see in issue with hedge wizards. As long as you are comfortable in all that entails and have a little back story to fit you in.
