WORDS FROM THE WOLF
By the time you read this, two monumental events in the
Mage
cosmos will have come to pass:
• Mage: The Sorcerers Crusade,
will have been released. A swashbuckling, backstabbing, dragon-riding look at the
Renaissance World of Darkness,
Crusade
presents the culmination of five years of Mage backstory and 3000 years of history.
• Mage
developer Phil Brucato will have married Wendy Blacksin, his longtime partner. Having tied the knot, the
merry twosome will have scoured the English and Scottish countrysides, looking for good food, good friends and good ale.
Salutations to all of you. A new era has begun!
