I do think that there is some Ars Magica influence, but it is in the switch to the unified resolution system (die roll + stat modifier + skill mod+ other modifiers vs DC) and the Commoner standard. Jonathan Tweet's article, "One Roll to Rule Them All", in Dragon Magazine 274 is his designer...

My top recommendations for action games in no order: Outgunned and Outgunned Adventure by Two LIttle Mice which has been mentioned Black Star (and the Black Star Companion) and Magnum Fury (80's Action) by Lakeside Games. However, I don't know if there is VTT support Black Star is pretty much...
