Mage the Ascension Guide to the Akashic Brotherhood 

Well since you started with the Akashic Brotherhood; you have to follow up with the other side of the coin of the Euthanatos.

Great video. One of the possible non-combat uses for Do would be like in the 1st episode of the Iron Fist series, were Iron Fist uses meditation and inner piece to calm down a dog. While this could be seen as a use of Life sphere, I like to think is also a use of Animal Ken but using Do. Also, since you covered the Society of Ether you could do Cult of Ecstasy or the Euthanathos next.

so i have a player within my chronicle an akashiana played as a british royal marine stationed in barracks with gurka troops. soldiers can embody the concept of the warrior monk also even if they are from Newcastle i love your carefully thought out analysis of this most amazing roleplay itching to get my hands on technocracy reloaded when its released in print keep up the good work c

Thanks for uploading this man

This is my favorite Tradition. While not as big or prestigious as ones like the Order of Hermes, ironically the end result they aim for is one of the most well put together. Your foci are mostly always with you (martial arts) or not the most difficult to acquire. Learning requires you to develop a more well rounded life, their objective is transcending conflict with wisdom, with spiritual and philosophical cultivation being indispensable. Admirable foundations indeed. Their flaws are twofold. First is that they are remarkably bad at halting the violence without resorting to extremes, like reclusive asceticism. The second is that their paradigm has a slow advancement rate, requiring commited discipline, with a deeply personal journey that is hard, if not impossible, for masters to standardize. This usually drives many away, frustrated by impatience or blinded by a wish to show off their martial prowess.

Awesome mate, really interesting

wainting for the dreamspeakers

I'd love to see the sons/society of ether next.

Thank you for these videos. I'm trying to learn because I'm going to run a mage game.

that system you described that your GM used sounds really great, i'm gonna use that in my game in the near future

make one about cult of ecstasy and/or virtual adepts

i picked these guys for a mage game cuz they are easy to play no mucking around with coding, drugs, ritual magic, blood or having to build gadgets to channel your magic just mma. my character joined them cuz they are a path to power to fight the technocracy they fight with guns and mma(no trad martial arts), and no points wasted on do(because that is a multiple ability dependant xp sink) i went with 3 correspondence and 3 mind.

Thanks for posting - I quite enjoyed it , good condensation of the background and solid tips for playing an Akashi . Thank you !

Big fan of mage and look forward to your views on spellcasting. I have subscribed and look forward to more of your works.

I am so glad to find this. I may be playing a game soon and that core book is THICK, there isn't much of Mage the Ascension on RU-vid

Would love to see a video on the Verbena! Thanks for this video

One of my favorite factions. I made mine like Daredevil and Shroud from Marvel.

Good video! Alphabetically would be cool but I think the Hermetic Order would be really neat for the next one.

Love your videos, I was losing hope about seen a new one, glad I subscribed long ago

I always struggled with the concepts of "traditions" and Mages. The way I saw it a tradition was a way a person used to manipulate reality, and a mage was someone who realized he didn't need the "spells" of their tradition and could just edit reality as they see fit according to their proficient spheres. I always ran Mage campaigns as a traditionalist who has come to realize that they didn't need the chicken bones, the kata or technology to make magic. Am I right?

Good as always!

Dream speakers please!

Oh yeah and where do you get your awesome background music from? Dream speakers would be my suggestion.

I wonder what your thoughts are on using stoicism/neo-stoicism as a background philosophy for a western Akashic character. Fighting styles can seem easily interchangeable for characters of diverse backgrounds, but I'm wondering which non-eastern philosophies/paradigms might reasonably fit into the Brotherhood.

fucking great

suns/society of ether pleas

I enjoyed your video I am trying to get together a group to play Mage the Ascension. I have some of the tradition books I'm thinking about using Mage the Ascension gurps I hope you would do a video on technocracy

Hey, nice video! By the way, what is the name of the song?

continue alphabetically just like in the book

Roda d'Oro, no? C'mon!

Is there any Akashic Brotherhood character in the lore that has hundreds of years? I'm not a mage player, so I was just wondering that. Other mages may extend their lifespan for hundreds of years (or even more), but I don't see an Akhashic doing that.

Please; you know there is only one mage tradition that matters. Order of Hermes.

Can you do anything on the Disperates? and the Virtual Adepts?
