An Ars Magica Live-Action Scenario
by David Chart

Live the Legend.
The covenant of Fanum has broken the Code of Hermes by interfering with the mundane population of Germany.

You are that tribunal.

Fallen Fane is a live-action Ars Magica scenario for 12 to 24 players. ItÂ’s equally suitable for Ars Magica veterans and those who have never played the game before, and can be run in an afternoon.

Six Over the Edge Scenarios

Some secrets are worth dying for. Some have a blood price already paid many times. Everyone has a secret in the Edge, even those whose lives are long forgotten.

The six adventures of Forgotten Lives each illuminates another dark corner of Al Amarja, from the island's fascist rulers of the 1930s to the near-mythical past of Dr. Nusbaum.

The Player's Guide to Character Groups

"You fight one of us, you fight all of us!"
SWAT teams, biker gangs, Yakuza hit squads, vampire hunters, war vets on the run who drive around helping people ... A team of action heroes is greater than the sum of its parts, even when the parts are martial arts masters and poets with pistols. Every band of Secret Warriors is different, but the individual members always share certain qualities. Now they can draw real strength from their teamwork.

Friends of the Dragon is the player's guide to creating character groups for Feng Shui. Create characters with shared histories and close personal ties or assemble a team of unlikely comrades with a common purpose. Turn the character creation process into a job for all the players to share. Forge backstories and motivations so strong that they drive whole campaigns. Cast a collection of action movie characters so compelling that they-not the villains-become the prime movers of every adventure.

This all-new sourcebook presents new options for character creation that both players and gamemasters can use. Friends of the Dragon offers advice and guidelines that will enrich any Feng Shui game. Plus, this book introduces a new kind of schtick to the game: the Group Schtick!

The Jammer Sourcebook
The Jammers -- outlaws from the future and renegades throughout time -- are out to build a better tomorrow, or at least destroy the one that already exists. If these fanatical saboteurs get their way, the history of the world will no longer be subject to the forces of feng shui and all chi will be burned from the planet. To the Jammers, destiny is dug from the rubble of revolution and the course of history always goes boom!

Atlas Games presents Gorilla Warfare, the first no-holds-barred excursion into the secret, underground lairs of the Jammers, from the demon-infested past of 69 A.D. to the dystopian tomorrow of the Buro. The Jammers hold sway over no single era but instead charge screaming from the Netherworld into any time frame. Now, with technologically altered soldiers, spies, and informants positioned underneath every major front in the Secret War, the Jammers are ready to ignite the fuels of rebellion and blow the Secret War wide open.

Gorilla Warfare examines the bombs, bunkers, tactics, and mechanized apes that make up the Jammers. Inside, you'll find the resources that players and GMs need to bring the noise to their own Feng Shui games: new platoons of simian soldiers, from submersible units to aerial units; the Ape Factory, where new Jammers are made; the all-new hardware schticks, so you too can be horribly mutiliated in the name of military superiority; and battle-plans for the next stage of Jammer operations all over the globe. Whether you work with the Jammers or against them, this book gives you access to the bomb before it goes off.

An Ars Magica Player's Sourcebook

They are the majority in almost every covenant, and without them things would come to an immediate halt. They spend their lives serving magi, and may lay those lives down to defend them. They are the cooks, servants, warriors, craftsmen, and hunters who keep the Order of Hermes running smoothly.

They are the magi's trusted grogs.

Grogs have much to offer any saga, from heroic death to comic relief, or even both at the same time. However, creating and maintaining dozens of characters can be a strain on the creativity and patience of even the finest troupes, and so grogs may be overlooked in favor of magi and companions. This book aims to right the balance. It contains dozens of fully developed grog concepts, complete with typical Abilities, and guidelines to simplify creating and maintaining grogs. It also includes suggestions on the roles grogs can play in covenants, and in stories.

After all, even spear-carriers can leave memories that live forever.

A Sourcebook for Ars Magica 5th Edition
by Andrew P. Smith and Mark Shirley

Guardians of the Forests details the birthplace of the Order of Hermes, Mythic Germany. From the sinister faerie heights of the Black Forest, home to Durenmar, through the prosperous and venerable cities of the Rhineland, to the fog-ridden Harz Mountains, to the lowland plain and Crintera's island retreat on the Baltic coast, the northern Holy Roman Empire is a diverse landscape of countless magical and faerie forests, interspersed with a patchwork of powerful realms, where prince-bishops vie with dukes and merchant gilds for temporal power. This is the land of the epic Nibelungenlied, the heroic conquests of Charlemagne and Frederick Barbarossa, the miracles of St. Boniface, the splendour of the Imperial Cathedrals, the gifts of minstrels and wood-wives, and the curses of witches and the Wild Hunt.

Guardians of the Forests reveals the many unique traditions of the First Tribunal, its archaic politics and lost glories, its reverence for its founders and its woodlands, the workings of the Great Library of Durenmar, and the secrets of those who pursue obscure wilderness paths in search of the primal power of the Forest. The richness of the German landscape is fully explored, replete with numerous story and saga ideas. The region of the Rhine Gorge receives a special focus -- its lost covenants, vis sources, sites of legend, towns, castles, inhabitants, and a mysterious curse are all detailed -- providing a perfect location to jump-start an Ars Magica 5th Edition saga.

Description: 144 pages, siftcover.

Hermetic magi believe themselves to be the undisputed masters of magic in Mythic Europe. Certainly, there are a few hedge wizards, but their numbers and powers are surely negligible compared to the might of the Order of Hermes.

Those "hedge wizards" would beg to differ.

Hedge Magic provides you with all the information needed to play a hedge wizard from any of six different traditions, or to introduce them as allies or antagonists for a Hermetic covenant. The scholarly magicians cluster in universities, while the folk witches ply their trade in the villages. Elementalists control the building blocks of reality, while gruagachan deal out curses and blessings in the interests of justice. Nightwalkers leave their bodies to fight for the prosperity of their homes, while in the vasts of the north, rune wizards patiently wait.

You are an Hermetic magus, one of the greatest wielders of magic Mythic Europe has ever seen. You can control the winds with a word, the beasts with a gesture. You can create a forest in a matter of moments, and destroy castles with a thought. No secret of mortal man is safe from your investigation.

So, what do you do with all that power?

Build a covenant inside a volcano, or a tower that touches the sky. Construct enchanted ships to sail any ocean, or even on the clouds. Collect magical beasts from across Mythic Europe and beyond, or become the most deadly opponent in Wizard's War that the Order has ever seen. You could even cheat death itself.

This book describes the spells and enchantments needed to achieve these marvels, using the Hermetic magic taught to every apprentice of the Order of Hermes.

What wonders will you create?

An Ars Magica Scenario Supplement

Mythic Europe is a place of wonders. Ancient spirits live in the rivers and sleep under towns and cities. Merchants travel between those cities, bringing the mundane population together, while nobles fight and hunt from their castles of stone. The dead do not all rest quietly, and the traces of ancient magics take an active interest in the present day. Yet still magi prefer to sit in their libraries and laboratories, oblivious to everything beyond the walls of their covenant.

Get their attention.

This book contains eight short scenarios for Ars Magica Fifth Edition tied to a previously released Ars Magica sourcebook. Each is designed to be played in a single session, and to draw the characters into some aspect of the rich background of Mythic Europe. Each scenario could serve as a single session's entertainment, or as the springboard for a saga arc.

A Player's Sourcebook for Ars Magica 5th Edition
There are those within the Order of Hermes who transmit secrets of magic incomprehensible to outsiders. Pre-eminent among them are the four Mystery Cult Houses, gatherings of magi Initiated into the same Mysteries. This book details the Mystery Cults, including full details of their Inner Mysteries.

House Bjornaer venerates animal ancestors, and strives to perfect the form. Their Mysteries enhance the heartbeast, ultimately allowing the magus to unlock mythic forms. House Criamon follow ancient teachings and seek escape from time itself. The many paths that they walk to this end grant powers that can include immortality. House Merinita move among the faeries, ultimately joining them. Their spells can draw on faerie glamour, awaken the fay slumbering around them, or inflict curses on those who break their promises. House Verditius crafts the greatest items, putting a little of themselves into their finest creations. Pride in their creations is often their downfall, and these magi are terribly prone to the most deadly sin.

An Ars Magica Player's Sourcebook
The third and final volume in the Houses of Hermes series, Societates covers Houses Flambeau, Jerbiton, Tytalus, and Ex Miscellanea. These houses are formed of wizards who have come together out of shared interests and philosophies.

House Flambeau includes the champions and knights of the Order, individual warriors who fight for glory and honor, both their own and that of the Order as a whole. The House admires bold adventurers who seek out and overcome fearsome opponents. Worthy opponents are chosen according to the magus's sense of honor, not external rules. As a result, many of the Order's Hoplites are from House Flambeau, as are many of the magi they hunt down.

House Jerbiton live lives in pursuit of beauty, and in pursuit of living beautifully. This requires interaction with the world beyond the Order of Hermes, both for the sake of the beauty found there and to avoid the stunted lives that result from a life lived entirely within a covenant. Experts in the use of Mentem and Imaginem, followers of Jerbiton generally prefer to interact subtly with the world. The fall of Constantinople has, however, been a great shock to them, and has pushed the House onto a more active path.

House Tytalus thrive on, and admire, conflict. The main conflict they see is between an individual's nature and the rules imposed by surrounding society, but this central conflict plays out in many, less abstract, contests. They are renowned for long-running rivalries with their Housemates, convoluted political schemes, and activities that skirt the edges of legality.

House Ex Miscellanea gathers together magi who do not fit into any other House, normally because they are still tied to elements of a pre-Hermetic tradition. The House claims to embody unity in diversity, but the emphasis is definitely on the diversity. This book provides eight detailed examples of traditions within the House, complete with rules for their non-Hermetic abilities.

"The entire Order stands on the brink of dissolution, and we are the only force that keeps it from toppling. We are the salvation of the Order!"
- Aldico, Primus of Mercere, addressing his House during the Schism War

The True Lineages are the backbone of the Order of Hermes. In these four Hermetic Houses, each magus was taught by a magus of the House, and that master-apprentice relationship goes back to the founders. This sourcebook details the four True Lineages, including rules for original research, unique forms of magic, and new Virtues and Flaws.

House Bonisagus descends from the two magi who created the Order, and continues to supply knowledge and leadership. They explore the theoretical applications of magic, delving deeper into its arcane secrets. And they advocate peace and cooperation among the Houses, searching for other wizards who might contribute to the community of magi.

House Guernicus upholds and enforces the Code of Hermes as the official judges and investigators of the Order. Its Quaesitores believe they stand against the wheel of fate, slowing it as best they can. By the efforts of its magi, the basic structures of Hermetic society have remained intact for over four hundred years.

House Mercere holds the magi of Mythic Europe together by facilitating communication, encouraging trade, and aiding their sodales. Its heralds, heroes, mercenaries, and merchants reflect the contractictions of their House: it is exotic, but traditional; loyal, but self-centered; proud, but humble.

House Tremere provides the strength of the Order. It controls events and prepares for coming battles, gathering influence and resources to respond to crises as they draw near. Tremere are pragmatic, dutiful, and courageous magi who know that Mythic Europe is a chaotic and dangerous place.

These are the True Lineages. Without them all, the Order of Hermes would surely fall.

The Sleepers Sourcebook
... My Soul To Take ...

If I die in my sleep, at least I'll know who did it. The Sleepers are the bedtime-story bogeymen of the occult underground. They keep the existence of magick a secret from the mundane world, lest the sleeping tiger wake and devour us all. If you make too much unnatural noise, if you leave witnesses to your workings, or if you just can't shut your pie hole about how you can melt your face on command, the Sleepers will come for you in the deeps of night and tell it you straight: hush hush, little mage, for dead men cast no spells. Listen close and you can hear their secrets: stories of the sleepers, true and otherwise; recruitment, training, and ops; safehouses, personnel, resources, and case files. But keep it to yourself -- or else.

The Sourcebook of Judaism in Mythic Europe
In 1018 AD, while secretly aiding the Christian forces against the Moors of Spain, the Flambeau of Val-Negra stumbled upon a small, secretive group of hedge wizards practising their magic within the Christian city of Barcelona. Offended by this affront to the Order, the magi initiated contact with the new rivals rather bluntly: "join or die!"

Kabbalah: Mythic Judaism delves into the Jewish Quarters of Mythic Europe, investigating the full spectrum of Jewish law, history, faith, and legend. It reveals the mysteries of Kabbalah, its scope ranging from gematria to the Tree of Life to the creation of golems. In addition to providing full rules for creating kabbalist characters, it details two new classes of hedge wizards: baal shem and necromancers. Players and storyguides alike will find a wealth of information within.
