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.  I said this when I first ran for Mage VST and I still
believe it now.  Mage is an amazing venue, and as I've watched all
of your characters grow and evolve, it has been extremely
gratifying me, to by the catalyst for those evolutions.  However,
there is so much further that we can take this. It is my hope to
present you with challenges worthy of your charcters.  This past
term has been a learning experience.  I've struggled at times to
provide a balance that is satisfactory to you (and believe me it
has at times been a struggle), but I think I've finally managed to
get more of a handle on things. I have found out how tough it is
to be an ST (especially in Providence) but rather than get burned
out and run down by my time, I'm still enthusiastic.  My biggest
hope is to bring this enthusiasm to my storylines and instill it
in you, my players.  Because you are who my story is all about. 
Without you, I'm a blank stage.
