SAGA JOURNAL An upcoming stretch goal is the Ars Magica Saga Journal. This is a journal-format (A5, 6"x9", or similar) hardcover book with blank white pages. It could be used to chronicle the adventures of a single character, record your covenant's saga, or draw random sketches of your characters, for example. There are two ways we could make this available ... One is to have it printed along with Definitive Edition in China. In this case, we would have a single cover design matching the Definitive cover -- leatherette, embossing, gold foil, edge gilding. This would be an add-on item in this campaign, with delivery next summer at the same time as Definitive itself. The other option is to use a print-on-demand service. We could offer several cover designs, including the new art we've commissioned as well as the Definitive cover design (as a plainer litho label hardcover, not leatherette with all the extras). It would be available to order through our web store as soon as we set up the production files, and drop-ship directly to you from the manufacturer within weeks. We need your help to decide what to do! This is a non-binding poll, but it is very helpful for us to gauge demand and preferences before we make a decision.

Project Update: Ars Magica Definitive - Sample Reveal VIDEO!

STATUS

The mass production samples arrived, and look so amazing! We asked for just a couple packaging changes, like upgrading to double-walled individual cardboard boxes for the Definitive sets, for safer mailing from our warehouse. Things are still on track for mid-May completion, and arrival at our warehouse in June.

Previous samples included an unprinted mockup of the deluxe options (leatherette, foil, bookmarks), and separate color copy of the printed book block. This time we got everything in one … the first TOTALLY COMPLETE copy of the Ars Magica Definitive Edition core book! I thought it deserved a special reveal, so here's my video for your enjoyment: https://youtu.be/YTP-_2HGKkM

Project Update: NEW Ars Magica Creative Commons Release, Plus Status Update

STATUS

Our printer tells us they've mailed our production sample (one of the final, completed mass produced book sets), and we should be getting it by next week. Once we approve that, they'll pack them into boxes/pallets, and they'll be ready to ship! Their estimated completion date is still mid-May, and we expect it to arrive at our warehouse in Duluth MN in June. We'll send photos when we get the sample.

NEW OFFICIAL CREATIVE COMMONS RELEASE

"Forgotten Magic of Hermes" is a compendium of ALL the Ars Magica spells from all older (pre-Fifth) editions, unless they were carried forward into the Fifth Edition core rules. We've just released it under the Ars Magica Open License. You can download the PDF here, and also find it listed on the official Ars Magica Open License page (in the sidebar).

Line Developer David Chart warns that older spells in this compendium that aren't in Definitive Edition were probably excluded because they're broken, but releasing them allows our fans to do updates without violating our copyrights. Our thanks to Patrick M. Murphy for his work on compiling this!

ARS MAGICA OPEN LICENSE

These Ars Magica Open License titles are NEW from our amazing fan community …

Markdown Version of Ars Magica Definitive Edition - Our fan community on GitHub just finished this reviewed release … congratulation on this epic win! Also, the team has fix-review-completed 16 of the 53 books now. If you're interested in following or helping with their efforts, the dedicated discussion thread for the project is here.
Form of Aether Symbol - Mad Irishman has released a new symbol in the style of our Form and Techniques, under the Ars Magica Open License.

DriveThruRPG release?

Perhaps I was mistaken, but was the final PDF file not supposed to go onto DriveThruRPG for backers?
