No Mage ST should be without it June 12, 2003
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is fundamental in running a Mage chronicle. It gives plenty of background and setting information for those interested in that sort of thing. As any storytelling book, it gives tips and tried-and-true methods for storytelling. Additionally, there is a chapter dedicated to the explanation of philosophy, which is important because of Mage's philosophical nature. Also, the book further explains various systems like Paradox and Resonance and gives different options to change them to your liking. Moreover, the book gives an explanation of Seekings according to Essence types. All in all, the book is essential in fine-tuning and running any Mage chronicle.
Awesome resource for storytellers September 27, 2003
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Mage Storytellers' Handbook may seem like another one of those optional books that are not necessary for people who have ran many games already. Though this book really isn't necessary for you to run a good game, it does contain a lot of helpful info and tips on how to enhance a Mage game. The section on Avatars and seekings should help clear up a lot of confusing concepts. The section on actually running a game and how to handle problems that may arise was not a waste of space but a section that I'm glad was included because I found their suggestions really helpful. The section on alternative settings sparked a lot of ideas as I was going through it. The section on cross-over games with other World of Darkness denizens should help GMs who want to incorporate them into Mage cabals/amalgams. Overall this was one of the best books released in the Mage Revised series.
Invaluable! June 11, 2003
This is probably the most invaluable resource for any mage player or storyteller. It provides alternate rules for both magic and paradox and how to apply mage to alternate historical/fantasy settings. In terms of usability, it is indispensible and probably much better than the Guide to the Traditions.
