I've been doing some thinking on this and came up with the following houserules for a Mage the Awakening homebrew using DFRPG.

Each Path (there are 5) has its own ruling and inferior Arcana. Each Path also has an advantage (be it composure or resolve in nWOD terms).

Therefore, when choosing a path, the mage gains a +1 conviction to spells cast out of his ruling arcana and -1 conviction to all spells from the inferior arcana. In addition, each path gains a +1 to conviction (Obrimos or Mastigos), or +1 to discipline (Acanthus, Moros, Thyrsus) for spellcasting.

The sight is no longer an ability, but rather a very specific spell cast within a specific Arcana costing 0 stress once per scene.

Everything else follows the Mage the Ascension houserules put forth by DMW.

Comments? Suggestions?

Please continue! Personally, I would love to see your take on the new WoD as well, especially for Mage: the Awakening. Since both DF and MtA both use magic based off the pentacle, it would be interesting to see how DFRPG could handle the system. Also, seeing the Scelesti and the Tremere Liches written down could provide some really interesting adversaries for my players in the Dresdenverse. Heck, now that I'm thinking about it, the Seers could form the perfect background for the Black Council...

Thanks for the hard work! 

So on those notes, would it be possible to use a Stunt similiar to "Two Gun Joe" from SOTC as an applicable stunt to using two weapons in combat?

One thing to add is that Vegas has its own Undertown as well.

Perfect place for some big bad to rear its ugly head. Maybe a spirit of despair, or a Black Court enclave deep beneath the city.

I have a player that would like to have a pair of pistols similiar to the infamous Colt from the Supernatural TV show. I know that the cost is bundled into one category, but how would you cost two items with exactly the same abilitites? Cost it as one pistol and give it a reduced bonus due to multiple items? I'm kinda stumped.

Anyone planning on going? I signed up for a couple of games, but didn't see any DFRPG games posted. If there's enough interest, maybe we can all get together for a game. Or at least do a meet & greet and talk about the game 

I was thinking about the boosted physical powers in the book and it struck me that there is a lack of any power that does this for Mental or Social attributes. Has anyone tried to tie these powers to another aspect other than the physical aspect?

My intial thought was a Buddha type character, completely unflappable and serene in all environements, no matter what is thrown at them. Maybe an ancient monk versed in martial arts who has been enlightened?

Thoughts?

LOL. Great Idea.

I don't know if it works RAW, but dang... I'd allow it just for being creative.

You should post this elsewhere on the boards. Maybe Jim B. will see it and think, "oh snap!", a new fancy magic trick for Harry!
