Grogs: Abelard and Gisele I decided to take up Adam's challenge and design some grogs, so I built one of the couples. Abelard is a cheerful young soldier with a roving eye and a thick skull; his wife Gisele is a miller's daughter with a passion for sticking her nose in other people's business...

My apologies for being out of touch; having a month to generate 175,000 words does that to a person. Marcus is perfectly happy with appointing Merin to the librarianship, and will appoint Fionuala to the vis custodianship if she'll accept the position. The decision on whether to accept the...

I hadn't thought about the service assignment. I had sort of figured that in the event of the first Primus' unavailability the covenant would hold an emergency council; the wonky two-year term for the second Primus makes the usual Secundus scheme a bit odd. Plus we still have the uninformed...

"Brigitta cuts to the heart of the matter," Marcus said, "and I commend you, sodalis. Indeed, if I may, I would like to suggest courses of action for us all. "I fully concur that a party ought to depart for Monthey immediately, and I suspect that Brigitta may be the best-qualified of us to...

Marcus is willing to take on that role. CP, perhaps you could specify which thread you want us to post to when you call for a specific post? I'm not sure if I ought to be doing this in or out of character.

Are we using the extended book rules from Wizard's Grimoire? The possibility of glosses changes the cost-benefit equation considerably.

I think the best course of action with tractati is to remember that Lemannus has it and look into trading for them later. I do not; you are probably right. It depends, however, on what major spells we have available and necessary. I have nothing which is beyond my current capabilities. Does...

First, some thoughts on books, some of which may be self-evident. The usual progression for learning from books starts with libri, because the 1/3 Art limit means that most of them are low-level anyway, moves on to summae, and finishes with tractati, because anyone can study a tractatus...

Marcus' only 9 is in Rego.

Because there's no IC component to this, I'm posting this here. For the record, Marcus likes Lumen Summum better than Accendo, and probably would have proposed it himself if I had any Latin to speak of.

It seems likely. We might be out one or two of the Forms, conceivably. For what it's worth, Marcus can write LQs on Creo, Intellego, Muto, Rego, Mentem, and Terram.

I think Daniela is entirely correct about the level 0 libri; indeed, technically it's possible for anyone to write a level 0 liber, even if they don't have the Art in question (I think that's a little munchkiny, though). Level 3 libri are a little rougher, though; you need an Art of 9 to write...

Marcus' Thoughts on the Charter Marcus spoke from his seat. "I hope it will offend no one if I do not stand; my leg is not my most obedient servant. "On the matter of Lemannus’ terms, I feel in principle that we ought to accept them. They are fair, if not over-generous. It might be...

That's cool. If you need any help with book titles, I have a fat stack of Ars Magica worked example links from my Gamers.com days.

Books! Does the library catalog which Merin referred to actually exist? Because if so, passing it around back-channel while the last few players chime in might be a way to facilitate what could easily be a very, very long charter meeting.

Marcus A man pushes himself up from his chair on Marie’s right; he seems to have some difficulty standing. His age is difficult to judge -- a veteran’s dark eyes crown the smooth cheeks of a youth. His skin seems a bit sallow in the pale Alpine light from the windows above, and he lists a bit...
