Storyteller Hints for Time-Spanning Visions
Rote · Mage
A player whose mage looks backwards or forwards through time uses the Time-Sphere Timelines chart to figure out the number of successes he needs in order to view certain temporal zones. Additional hints for players and Storytellers using time-vision include:
• Use symbolism rather than objective “facts.”
• Leave the visions ambiguous and open to interpretation.
• Describe an event that might happen, and then plant clues that point to the pending event and give your players a chance to change the future.
• Let the Storyteller roll the Arete dice and then describe the visions, leaving the “truth” behind them as a mystery. This way, the player has no idea how many successes she actually got, and thus she remains uncertain about the accuracy of those perceptions.
