The Ascension War is an epic struggle for control of reality but not everyone wants to be part of that war as some fight just to survive. How can a faction-less mage make it in Mage's urban fantasy setting while staying safe and independent? Orphan's Survival Guide picks up and expands where Destiny's Price and Outcasts: A Players Guide to Pariahs left off and Adam and Terry walk you through it.

• Destiny's Price - A book on hard-scrabble life in the city with a few locations and set pieces and rules for swarms and drugs.
• Initiates of the Art - A book on playing a newly Awakened mage.

Other books:

• Travels with Lizbeth - book on traveling and surviving while homeless
• Down and Out in Paris and London - semi-autobiographical account of being homeless by George Orwell
