| 24 Mar 2023 | Episode 1 - So You Want to be a Wizard | 00:56:10 | |
Join Jen and Kelly on the first episode of Paradox where we discuss Mage: the Ascension - what it is, and what we love about it. Mage: the Ascension is a TTRPG about modern magic, reality, and the people who can adapt and change that reality to their own world view. It has many fans, but also many people who find the system convoluted and confusing. This podcast is designed to provided clarity and encouragement from creating a character to running your own game.

| 08 Apr 2023 | Episode 2 - The Basics | 00:13:10 | |
Always wondered how to get into TTRPGs? What do you actually need to get started? What the heck is a d10? In Episode 2, Jen goes through the basics of TTRPGs in general and M20 in particular as a way to provide a starting place for new players of ANY TTRPG - though Mage is, of course, recommended.

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 concerns.
This seeking takes place between episodes six and seven, which are both out on YouTube now, but be warned, for here there be spoilers.

| 01 Sep 2023 | Episode 11 - A Bit of Context | 00:21:33 | |
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 with paradigm such as:

| 26 May 2023 | Episode 4.5 - Bonus Example Seeking | 00:30:18 | |
In this special episode - taking the place of last week's audio failure - Jen runs a seeking for Robin, another Dork Tales member, who plays Tegan in Technocracy: Zero Sum. A seeking is a special quest a mage's Avatar sets them and usually involves a choice or decision that the mage needs to make in order to continue growing and developing as a mage - or, in mechanical terms, to gain a point of Arete. Technocratic seekings are usually very different than Mage seekings - and they're usually called Mediations or Epiphanies - but due to the plot of Technocracy: Zero Sum, Jen took some liberties. Enjoy! And regular Paradox Episodes will be back in 2 weeks on June 9th.

| 03 Feb 2024 | Episode 20 - Spellbound | 00:42:12 | |
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 - related tangents! But sometimes this happens when I talk Mage, so we're all going to have to live with it. Apologies for some slightly off audio this time around - I ran into a few tech issues as well. (Note: as of February 3, 2024, 2:20 PM Pacific time, the tip jar linked below has started working again! Do let me know of any issues either through a message here or over on the Dork Tales discord server on my channel - Jen's Paradoxical Podcast Palace)

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 mentioned on my channel on the Dork Tales discord server, I had Covid and lost my voice. You can still hear some of the cracks in this episode, but I tried to keep it as limited as I could.

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 paradigm including what it is and what it means for your character.
Apologies for some of Travis' audio, the microphone didn't always like picking up his voice and in some cases I could make it louder and a little more distorted, but still audible, and in others I simply couldn't. Thanks for listening anyway!

| 10 Apr 2024 | Episode 21.25 - An Apology for the Delay | 00:02:21 | |
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 people and thanks for your patience to those who have stuck with me. I appreciate you all, and I'm going to at least get something up before the end of April and I'll have the actual episode 22 up for the beginning of May <3.

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. Finally. We're back baby!
I do recommend re-listening to Episode 29 before this, as I literally clipped this out of that episode and therefore don't explain everything again. However, I also managed to accidentally save Episode 29 as a Draft, which meant I had to republish it.....So if you're wondering why it showed up again, apparently my subconscious needed you to remember it! Or something. Maybe I'm just tired....That's probably it.

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 precisely when they mean to. So, I hope you enjoy this extra-large serving of Mage!

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 here, and I truly thank so many other people for being able to explain things in a way I understand. Happy Holidays from Paradox!

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 things for January's episode - after I get the combat example edited, of course!
Happy Holidays to all who celebrate!
