About this episode

The episode explores the French setting of the World of Darkness, focusing on the Mage chapter from a 1997 book.

The World of Darkness is as global a phenomenon outside the games as it is within. Many of the books have been translated by one licensee or another over the years, and a precious few have been created by and for the fans in other countries. In this installment of Tomes of Magick, Pooka cracks open the Mage chapter from 1997's Le Monde des Ténèbres: France, a French-only general WoD book that explores that country in the setting. What are the Verbena doing around the megaliths of Carnac? Who's pulling the strings of the then-nascent EU? Why is the Digital Web so weird in this part of the world? Listen in for these and other tantalizing questions. “Zoning boards are where the fight against the Technocracy must needs be fiercest and firmest.” Mage the Podcast social media links Website http://magethepodcast.com Patreon https://bit.ly/MagePatreon Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/magethepodcast.bsky.social Discord https://discord.gg/7rsy59Zz Mastodon https://dice.camp/@magethepodcast Pixelfed https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/792325079447125841 Threads https://www.threads.net/@magethepodcast
