Says the technocrat who took umbrage with the term “mystical”

But yeah, I am certainly not going to debate you about this again.

Says the folks who have cloaked their magick in so much technobabble mumbo jumbo that many of them have forgotten they were Mages

And while I have no inside information, I am sure these maps will be repurposed for other Trek media. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it appear in a sourcebook for a certain “Adventures” RPG I know and love…

I admit I liked it at the time, but the more I rewatched it and glimpsed past the buffyspeaking space western veneer the more I had serious issues I had with it. I am just happy to let it pass quietly into irrelevance like Joss himself.

All my fave content creators are dropping crowdfunds of my fave properties while I am in a financial crunch. Okay then…

Strangely it was Avengers: Infinity War. It seemed to run me the wrong way, especially the last twenty minutes. I walked out of the theatre unsure I wanted to see the conclusion I had waited ten years to see.

Or a decidedly small percentage of them that the Syndicate deems worthy of it.

I’ll be honest, the fact that Castle Falkenstein never received the popularity it deserves sucks. So ahead of its time.

"Disputed" meaning that there was a time when the nature of the moon was contested, but via the propaganda of the Technocracy, the Consensus turned a mystick center of power into a dead orb in an airless void.

If you're looking for fantasy games that don't funnel money to transphobes (and in fact has a number of queer and trans creatives involved with it), may I recommend Realms of Pugmire? It's kinda like D&D, but with cute dogs! realmsofpugmire.com

//I take it as “there are not the good guys, but they could be”

Leaving the players room to be the genuine heroes of the tale, despite the baggage in the system they are a part of.

//Yeah, it’s especially true in Mage, where on one hand they set up a hero/villain dynamic in 1st edition and then spend three more editions subverting that dynamic.

Though, in all due respect, in light of the specialties of House Flambeau, their headgear is the last thing I associate them with.

Ultimately the promise of knowledge and technology only work when the populace see the benefits. People are getting poorer and shit like AI is more likely to make the wealth gap even worse.

When they happens people lay blame, and guess who is at the top of that list…

I have had a chilling thought for awhile: Maybe the Syndicate and Nephandi aren’t truly to blame. I wonder if the Masses on an instinctive level don’t trust you.

Maybe the Ascension War was truly lost in 1999 and it never re-started. We are just fighting over the ashes…

So I guess we are limiting the discussion to “trust me bro, we’re trying…”

What, because of the “Dimensional Anomaly” all the big bad evil leadership got smoked and now you are reforming and doing the grand social media apology tour?

Reform requires results. Till you get past the rhetoric and put that Consensus to humanity’s benefit, you are still Queen Vic’s Technocracy

The Budget cuts to fund your “Corporate Prime Flows” affect real people and are part of the reason why metrics like this exist.

Again, stop abrogating responsibility when you literally have two Conventions with their thumbs on the scales.

Just remember there are two Technocracies.

The first seem to genuinely believe they are doing good via knowledge and technology.

The NWO and Syndicate take all of that, and use it for the worst ends imaginable.

Guess who is in control?

Who is the paradigm benefiting? You’ve locked the benefits behind paywalls, limited access to the wonders to the richest and most connected.

Sure, there are benefits to this malformed Consensus, but let’s not pretend you are any more magnanimous than the feudal lords of yesteryear.

The Chorus???!!! The Technocrats invoke the Chorus every time the Church is to be blamed for something, acting like the Cabal of Pure Thought doesn’t even exist.

I am sure there are things the Chorus has to answer for, but I daresay the Gabrielites are at the front of that same line.

Enlightenment to a paradigm that benefits you and you alone. Again this is not discovering universal truths but marketing your version of the Consensus.

Which makes me wonder if this Robber Baron mentality of the Syndicate is a feature of your world order and not a bug…
