Ars Magica Definitive will soon be sailing the Mythic Seas, on its way to us here in the New World! Its ship is scheduled to depart on July 4th (our Independence Day, coincidentally).
A neat thing that's new for this trip is GPS tracking on our INDIVIDUAL CONTAINER. Jenae Floerke is our Shipping Coordinator, and she mentioned that in the past we've gotten distraught fan comments about how "IT'S GONE BACK OUT TO SEA!" when the tracking is on the SHIP at port. Not so this time! You should be able to watch our container move across the countryside by rail and truck, straight to our warehouse in Duluth MN.
Check out the latest fan releases under the Ars Magica Open License:
Elder Magi Volume I - Audrey du Verditius: Profiles a brilliant, eccentric master artisan of House Verditius. Alongside her complete sheet, this PDF introduces the Confraternity of Arachne, a brand-new textile and silk-working Hermetic Confraternity, plus it gives full statistics for her customized Laboratory, enchanted Talisman, personal Familiar, and unique magical items, the library of Hermetic books she has authored, and mystic initiations she underwent to attain her power.
Peregrinatores on DriveThruRPG and RPG Trader: Take up your staff and travel the Rhine Tribunal! Supported by ancient legal rights of hospitality, peregrinatores are magi who wander from covenant to covenant, staying a few years at each, performing service or paying vis in exchange for the use of the library or a laboratory. Eventually they join covenants and settle down, but the friends and enemies they make in their wandering years can last a lifetime. This supplement details the peregrinatores, their lifestyle and culture, and the challenges they face. It also includes a guide to the covenants of the Rhine Tribunal, additional rules for itinerant magi, and rules for solo play. The Faith & Flame Toolkit:Jason Tondro is working on a FREE aid for storyguides and players that provides tools for quickly starting a new saga in the Provençal tribunal, based out of the covenant of the Coenobium. This project is still in development, but the initial version available for download now.
