    What a great interview! I really enjoyed how candid he was about how things went back in the day at White Wolf.

    I think the main thing I got from this edition, which was written by Stewart Weick more than anyone else, was that it was inspired by Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. They even included a quote. The game was still very much in a formative stage - still developing its core ideas - but it had an understated ‘war of ascension’. You felt the protagonists were more hunted rather than true warriors with an actual shot of winning. But this may just be me. The innovation of the magick system was very freeform and innovative but untested in practice. You could really do some wacky stuff, but this was OK because the rules encouraged you to ignore the rules anyway!

    If you want a far future game with Spaceships, TSR's Star Frontiers is utterly fantastic even for its age. You will want to house rules things very likely make your own races or species but between Star Frontiers and Alpha Dawn it's a really fun system as I remember it and it's TSR which is nice. My gaming group always played mage as part of the World of Darkness, so the Modern world but darker. We would make a chantry when we were able, but it was really just a place we went when the session was over or if a player couldn't make a session, they were considered in the Chantry. When we crossed over with Werewolf, we would make more trips into the Umbra or Deep Umbra. Overall though we stuck to the real world with that very Dark feel. This was a great Interview!! Very well done and VERY interesting as a lover of Mage the Ascension! Thanks so much for this, it was really great!

    A little late, but better than never. I discovered recently this podcast, and started consuming a lot of its content quite fast, ever since gaining a new love for the mage game and an appreciation for Terry and his love for the franchise that spread to me. I hope he ascended to a better place, and the podcast continuing or not, he will be missed.

    My dude! STOP! I IDENTIFY AS EUTHANATOS! LEARN MY NAME OR STOP TALKING ABOUT US. I checked all the boxes. Been dealing for like REALSY! is your bone prison pinching so hard that you didn't effing realize that this isn't "just" a game? Having hypersensitive hearing my whole life tied to a brain with auditory dyslexia and a gift for noticing patterns meant I can't keep listening because I can't keep hearing it... Me being an empath makes it all exponentially worse. Stop talking about a sacred path with the tongue of an ignorant Technocrat. That said, you are building bad karma. I'm not roleplaying right now to be REALLY for real. You are speaking and sharing a FALSE NAME for something SACRED. That's what could be named blasphemy. Please make proper amends, for your sake. Learn it, practice saying it, and please try to make nice with any spirits offended. The spoken word has power but not as much as a misspoken word... but I have said my peace. Do it soon if you haven't already, realizing how old this. Just please stop

I didn't have the privelege of meeting Terry in person or talked to him, but through the podcast I at least could have a glimpse of his incredible talent, humor and values. He made me company many times, not only with every new realease but also when I re-heard past ones until falling sleep at the unmistakable sound of his voice. My sincere condolences to to his family and friends.
