The Fragile Path

The Fragile Path is a 1995 role-playing game supplement for Mage: The Ascension published by White Wolf Publishing.

Contents

The Fragile Path is presented as an academic work which tells the tale of the First Cabal, a group of nine mages who opposed the Technocracy in its early days.[1]

Reception

Adam Tinworth reviewed The Fragile Path for Arcane magazine, rating it a 9 out of 10 overall.[1] Tinworth comments that "A few flaws slightly mar the book – the Songs of Bernadette contains some glaringly anachronistic phrases, and the early chapters lack a little pace – but these are minor gripes. This is a book essential to each and every Mage group."[1]

Derek Pearcy reviewed The Fragile Path for Pyramid V1, #16 (Nov./Dec., 1995) and stated that "At times romantic, never dull, The Fragile Path succeeds in exactly the way many (if not most) other works of its kind fail - it inspires not just the mind but the heart. It doesn't merely give you roleplaying tips or adventure hooks, all wrapped up in some shallow sentimentality with the patronizing tone of instruction; it makes White Wolf's vision for the psyche of Mage characters more accessible to players, and inspires the effort to delve deeper."[2]
