Just prior to heading out this morning, FedEx delivered a pretty special parcel. My copy of the Mage20 Technocracy Reloaded hardcover book has arrived.

If there is one game that I would dearly love to play – preferably to run as the Storyteller – before I finally leave this life, Mage is that game. It’s hard to explain the impact this game had upon me as a younger man, suffice to say that the presentation of the world of Mage resonated with me in a deep way.

Technocracy Reloaded peels back the curtain and examines the role of the Technocracy in Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition. 

Technocracy Reloaded provides tools and resources to equip and portray the Technocratic Union as antagonists in a Mage 20 game, or to allow the players to step into the role of Technocrats, with the full support of the Union and its immeasurable resources at their fingertips.

For me, this was the missing piece of the puzzle that unlocks my ability to finally bring this game to the table. I have long and deeply enjoyed the Technocrats and their role as villains but now options abound, with many possible future fates laid open for exploration.

I know this is a game that needs just the right bunch of players. It needs me to absorb and understand myriad resources, but I am finally on the precipice of bringing myself to the Ascension Wars. I don’t know when or who but I do know that I love this vision of the fantastic World of Darkness.

Game on!
