It's an interesting article. It raises a few questions. Why did the Corrections Departments in Georgia, Washington and Minnesota withhold the Dragons and Dungeons magazines of inmates? The article doesn't really say, but we are led to believe that they did so for the reasons the Wisconsin...

Gentlemen, I humbly request your help to Please Evaluate And Critique Honestly my combat outline for Ars Magica: COMBAT CHEAT SHEET BEFORE COMBAT: Decide to roll Initiative each round, or just the first round "and when people try to change range" (Init. is hugely important when changing...

Very nice, Ezekiel! Thank you!

Rune, that's brilliant! It's a subtle plan, though...the red wedding idea was grisly, sudden and action-packed. I'm not sure how to do that with the doppelganger scenario. Any ideas?

Damn him! I have never read Game of Thrones nor have I ever seen an episode of the HBO Series or have any idea what goes on, except that Peter Dinklage and Captain Phasma are cast members. That said, I am running an Ars Magica campaign set in the 1220s in Corsica, and was planning for...

Hey, Cam. Mostly because I know 4th edition, and more importantly, know the book -- where to find everything, where each chart is...I played it for so many years every week that the book is comfortable in my hands and I have a familiarity with the layout that would be gone if I bought a new...

Ohh...that's a great idea for a campaign. I may have to steal that idea sometime down the road! I always like stories about the True Cross. We had an NPC in our flagship Ars 4th ed. game back in the late nineties who had a piece of the True Cross as an artifact.

I liked the idea of "Hero Points" or whatever it was called...it was a Feat that came from a D&D 3e Sourcebook that you were able to spend once per [some period of time I no longer recall...I think it was once per session] that let you modify a roll in some way. It was the first time I could...

Thank you so much, Cristian. That's very helpful. Did you play 4th edition Ars Magica?

Thanks, Cristian, for that information. The links to the BerkList are dead -- at least the links to subscribe to it -- so, I've been unsuccessful in joining that community. The information at beta.redcap.org tends not to have what I'm looking for. Whenever I see a link that has information I...

After twenty years of keeping it packed away in a dusty box, I have dug out my 4th Edition Ars Magica books and begun to run a campaign for my Sunday gaming group. Unfortunately, I disposed of the immense amount of Ars Magica material I had created twenty years ago and, even more unfortunately...

How about cold iron? The loss of their magic? The corruption of their forest?

Thewegger, let's chat. Would u be so kind as to email me at RobertPetrone at yahoo dot com?

I've played and GM'd 'em all in my 33 years of gaming. Right now I'm into Fate Accelerated and wouldn't mind running a Star Wars game -- or any game, really -- in that system. Shout if you're interested.

That makes sense on both counts.

I don't really know where to find this information, but Gary is at least 1 XP higher than when Scott DeWar reported. B-)

That makes perfect sense. And I think that's a perfectly fair interpretation of the Stress rules. It certainly *works* in FAE, and it certainly is supported by the FATE Core rulebook. For the next two paragraphs of this post, however, I'm going to channel this annoying über-nerd for...

Wow, Umbran! Thank you for your very thoughtful and detailed response! I really appreciate your input. That said, I do agree with some stuff you said, and disagree with other stuff. I would like to offer a response to your response... I agree with you wholeheartedly on this. Where I think...

My first experience with FAE was *after* I had already played and become comfortable with the rules of Fate Core, and that may have shaped the way I interpreted the FAE rules. I then took a long hiatus from gaming, after which the rules of FATE/FAE became less crisp in my mind. When I...
