Ars Magica is a classic roleplaying game about magic users in 13th century Europe. In this epic fantasy game¸ players will investigate mysteries¸ encounter creatures of the unknown¸ and protect the weak. They will learn strange new magic and perform powerful spells. Adventure awaits!
Each Ars Magica saga starts with the covenant: the home of the magi¸ their companions¸ and their grog servants. Ars Magica's unique troupe-style system allows you to play them all in turn. It's a play experience that keeps everyone interested.
Creativity and Danger: Gameplay BasicsWith Ars Magica¸ you get a different play experience than your standard fantasy RPG. Multiple characters keep gameplay interesting¸ and the mechanics help keep players from feeling overwhelmed with too many characters to juggle.
The award-winning magic rules provide a flexible system that allow players to create their desired effects on the spot from a list of categories. This keeps the action moving rather than requiring players to spend ages looking up their desired spells in the manual.
Released in 1992¸ this edition of Ars Magica from White Wolf was designed to be consistent with the World of Darkness. Background material on Mythic Europe was adjusted to fit into the setting; True Reason and Passions were added¸ and rules adjustments were made.
The third edition of Ars Magicais currently out of print¸ but it is available in PDF.
