System: Mage: The Ascension
Setting: Mostly Old World of Darkness, mixing in some elements of NWoD Mage: The Awakening
Players: 3-5 (?)
As a Mage in the World of Darkness, the power of your belief can change reality. By focusing your will through one (or more) of the nine domains of magick - such as Forces, Entropy, or Time - a mage can perform incredible feats. Bend space. Mend wounds. Travel to the spirit world. Get dealt that ace just when you need it. Dodge bullets.
The player characters are a newly-formed cabal, recruited by an elder mage calling himself Bosch. His intent is to thwart the incursion of a horrific, alien history with the potential to supplant our own. Millenia ago in ancient Egypt, a cannibalistic cult of mad sorcerors created an artifact that, by virtue of its existence, altered time and space. This artifact is the narrative of a timeline that can be summed up as "demonic": cannibalism is revered as the most sacred of acts, and all great cities are enormous temples to mad gods constructed from the bones of sacrificial victims who died (and continue to die) in unspeakable agony.
Fortunately for us, this artifact was scattered to the four winds. But, it was not completely undone, as this antithetical timeline possesses a kind of sentience, and manifests parts of itself in our world. And the more parts that exist, the more likely that our world will vanish, replaced by His. The Prince of 100,000 Leaves covets our existence.
