A Blessing and A Curse
 |
A Little Detour
When a group of mages is seemingly steered toward a gas station by random coincidence - just in time for a robbery to occur - they discover strange forces at work in the life of an otherwise mundane woman named Jessica Brutelli. It seems as though fate is conspiring to the gas station attendant's benefit¸ but nothing comes free in the world of magick. An inexplicable aura of Paradox surrounds Jessica¸ and the party may be the only ones who can rid her of it.
A Strange Mystery
A Blessing and A Curse is a one-shot story for Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition which can be dropped into an existing Chronicle or used as a springboard to begin a new one. It works just as well run as a stand alone story and is designed for convention or streamed play. While not necessary to run this story¸ having a copy of the Technocracy Reloaded Jumpstart can help enrich the experience¸ offering greater detail on the city of Rockford¸ Illinois in the world of Mage.
