RPGaDAY #5

 

For day five of RPG a Day, we've got an RPG with great writing, and this allows me to shoutout something I've just been getting into, Mage: The Awakening 2nd Edition.

It presents a setting very similar but also quite distinct from its predecessor Mage: The Ascension, and I find it much easier to get into. Instead of the Technocracy, a great but very complex faction, Awakening's antagonists are the Seers of the Throne, a much easier kind of fascist mage to grasp, and the game generally is very easy to understand while still featuring a lot of interesting prose.

In order to, uh, actually use this blog? I've decided to post about RPGaDAY on here.

For Day One, we've got the First RPG I bought this year, and that would be Deviant: The Renegades.

A "Tabletop game of Vengeance", as it calls itself, Deviant is about the Remade, people who have been turned into monsters and are looking to get back at those who transformed them.

I haven't gotten to play it yet, but it's got a very strong concept reminiscent of the Kamen Rider series, which is basically the whole reason I got into it.

Deviant is set in the Chronicles of Darkness, the successor to White Wolf's World of Darkness, which is notably home to Vampire: The Masquerade.
