(IMAGE) Ars Magica

Information

Ars Magica is a system currently produced by Atlas Games, now in it's 5th edition, ArM5.

As one can quickly guess, ArM5 has a well developed magic system - truely the heart of the game. Previous editions were owned by Whitewolf, and their touch is obvious in the format and style of some of the background.

I won't explain the whole game, go to the official page or the Wikipedia page for more details.

Rule Amendments

I have a great dislike of the Might Rules... I think they are too simple. Compared to the complexity of many areas of Ars Magica (in particular the additional material in each supplement), I find creature might to be lacking.

Thus, I have devised my own House Rule for Might Scores

The Fall and Rise of Exeter

I'll be posting a running story of our saga. We play on Thursday evenings, so updates will happen shortly after.

Since this will contain knowledge of the game, it may have unintentional spoilers - so if you're one of my players, don't read all these pages.
