Storyteller Toolbox: Calling for Rolls

Mage can be tuned to a lot of different play experiences but knowing how to do that is hard. This episode addresses just three things: who call for rolls, when to call one, and how to look at the results.

Now this is the type of tone I've been looking for from a MtP episode.
Personal, slightly biased yet asserted, still factual and clean.
Great episode Terry!

"Success with complications" and "Failure with benefits" are two of the best tools any GM can use in any game.

Something I've agonized over time and time again lol. Not that you can tell from my Mage videos, I cut the dice rolls out = P

I'm glad you find it acceptable!

Collecting Tarot decks is indeed a thing.
Most often only by people who do not use them for their historical purpose.
It is a type of appropriation which takes a spiritual tool with unique roots and treats it as a collectible product to be used as a toy.
