MAGE CURES PLOT

This is obviously an incredibly broad and subjective question, but: music appropriate for Mage. Suggestions? An idea for a plot came to me like a bolt from the blue, and I'm amassing as much material I can that might somehow prove tangentially useful or related.

Well, many pages ago, someone had us posting music for the various splats, with several being mage suggestions, I'll find the post(s) for you.

Edit: start at this post and go from there for world of darkness music.

Or later, later's fine.
But now would be good.

Basically just listen to the Bowie version of "The Man Who Sold the World" until you need to listen to the Nirvana version and then just alternate until you have a campaign.

A shitload Pink Floyd's albums could be read as Mage-y to varying degrees. Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Animals, Wish You Were Here, and Piper at the Gates of Dawn, off the top of my head, all could be used for some good inspiration. Gerolt Scarfe's animations for Welcome to the Machine and The Wall are other things to check out.

Tool: A man who has been enclosed in a bubble for his entire life is suddenly and mysteriously let out. Wandering, he reads the Bible for the first time and thinks "wow, what a great book," but is distracted and falls off a cliff, horribly injuring himself and breaking both his legs as he crashes onto a guitar. Confused, he picks it up and begins playing.

Dumb question but what's an oWoD werewolf lifespan? I remember them being functionally immortal (with the obvious exceptions their violent lifestyle) but have no idea where I got that from.

I just introduced a WWI vet Bonegnawer, which made sense to me but raised a few eyebrows.

I guess forty years in the Umbra with a Lewis machine gun would answer a lot of questions, while raising others.

While they aren't immortal, it is very rare for them to die of old age. Thats kinda the same thing right?

I don't know if they have longer lifespans but they definitely keep their vigor longer. There was this one signature character named Golgol Fangs-First who was still extremely powerful well into his 60's.

If I recall correctly, Ahrouns tend to live (and ascend rank) fast and die young, while Theurges tend to basically live forever (Mother Larissa is older than dirty but can't leave her island in the sept) but go up the ranks slowly. Not sure where the others fall in between that.

Yeah, werewolf twenty outright says it's possible for certain extremely powerful Garou to have lived for over a century. Good luck reaching old age though.
