II. Statement of Purpose and Vision
	First off, I would like to say that I’ve always loved the Mage venue both 
old and new.  My first experience with White Wolf was through Mage the 
Ascension, and when I heard they were re-envisioning Mage for the New world 
I was very excited.  That excitement has yet to abate.  If someone were to 
ask me why I want to be run Mage, I would tell them this; Mage is, in my 
opinion, the most promising of the NWoD venues so far.  In that it borrows 
so little from the old world setting it is much freer to work with.  Even 
more, since its inception, the Awakening venue has truly become a global 
game, far more so than I think it ever was before.  I would like to see RI 
become more involved in that shared world.  No matter how insular our 
characters may be, we will still be part of the larger world and it should 
still affect us. Regional, national and even global (*gasp* yes I said 
global!) plots should and will have a place in RI, should our players wish 
to take advantage of them.  This does not mean that I wish to change RI’s 
insular tradition.  We have a unique feel for our game and its story which I 
will still encourage.  I hope that I can bring even half of Seth’s immersive 
storytelling technique to the game while still trying to work a little 
tighter within the framework of the rules.  I look forward to working with 
the DST and the other ST’s in our domain to coordinate how one group’s 
actions can affect the other’s.  I find it very gratifying as a player to 
know that while my characters in different venues have likely never met and 
know nothing about each other, the actions of one can impact on the other 
sometimes in the strangest ways.  This verisimilitude is key to a shared 
gaming experience and I hope to instill as much wonder of it as I can into 
my players.
