Hello, nice to hear from you again :)
I don't recall if you got a new intro, but I like the one you got now.
Listened to the episode, and it was nice. I'm not a really that interested in crossover games, and not that interested in Mage: the Awakening. However, the stuff you were talking about sounded quite nice, and gave me a couple of neat ideas.

Glad to hear you're back listening, Tel!
For what it's worth, I actually find it slightly difficult *not* to have crossover between WoD gamelines at this point. Taking werewolf as an example- why keep recycling spirits and Pure and the hosts when you have this wealth of other, fully-developed supers from other books you could throw in? When I look at a new WoD campaign, no matter what supers I'm focusing on, I think of it as "The World of Darkness," not "The World of Mage" or "The World of Werewolf."
If you meant crossover related to player characters, we're not actually doing that. The PCs are all Mages, Changelings have all been NPCs so far.

O', it just sounded like there were non-Mage PCs, but guess I just got confused at some point.
Personally I try not to mix the Big Three in chronicles, but I'm quite happy with bringing in NPCs with Minor Templates. The limited gamelines also provide the occasional plot line that's probably not relevant to the main story arch, but provides a good change of pace.

I listened to the episode again, and it was easy enough to notice where I made the mistake: that werewolf guy you called David :)
To me there will always be the Big Three, and then the Limited Gamelines. The reason why I make the distinction is that to me it seems that the Big Three always bring in a cart load of baggage, where as the Limited Gamelines are far easier to integrate into a chronicle. Need a lone hunter cell in a neighborhood? No problem! A Changeling Motley messing around with a politician? Easy enough to manage. A Promethean is passing through the city and causing all sorts of strange things? Simple and effective.

Glad to see you all back! Good podcast, enjoyed listening to your Mage chronicle so far, it gave me some ideas for my werewolf game.
Although, I do have a small annoyance with Ben's volume. From what I can tell, Ben is an intelligent man, it's just I can't hear him half the time. If I try and turn up the volume to hear him, TJ's voice blows out my eardrums. :P
But otherwise, keep it up! I'll start working on the second episode as soon as I have time to listen.
