Message: <blockquote data-quote="mythusmage" data-source="post: 1873717" data-attributes="member: 571">Or an acknowledgement that Ars Magica was never all that historical to begin with.Starting with the first edition (Lion Rampant) there was a lot of talk about the historical mistakes scattered throughout. Hate to say this, but Tweet and company had only a smattering of knowledge about the medieval period, and not much more when it came to the 13th century. With second edition it became Europe as the people back then saw it. Which raised even more questions, since from available material it was fairly obvious the authors had really no more idea what people back then saw their world then the common man of today.The move towards a fantasy Europe sounds like a good one to me. For sixth edition I'd like to see...Expansion of True Faith to non-Christian religions.Expansion of available schools to include non-Hermetic magical traditions. Enochian magic and Asian traditions for examples.Advancing the time line forward to the 16th century would also help, since that's when the Hermetic tradition began to take form historically. Unless Ars Magica history is altered to allow for an earlier establishment of the Hermetic tradition.Just my thoughts.</blockquote>
