=== 🌀 Overview ===
'''Nameless Echoes''' is a three-part Mage: The Ascension chronicle unfolding in '''February 1985''', set in the neon-lit, Cold War-shadowed city of '''Madison, Wisconsin'''. It explores the first cracks in consensus reality that will eventually lead to the digital haunting of Digi-8, the fall of New Avalon, and the emergence of the Nameless.

This chronicle serves as a '''prequel to Nameless Echoes Radio''' and is played using the '''Mage 20th Anniversary ruleset''', with emphasis on Arete-only magick, paradox as metaphysical instability, and identity-driven storytelling.
