Re: Ars Magica: PbP Interest Thread
So, as expected, we seem to have a fine number of players, but lack a storyteller. Do people like the idea of an alpha storyteller assisted by several beta storytellers, a rotating storyteller, or something else? I was also wondering if anyone has previous gamemastering experience in other systems. ...

Re: Ars Magica: PbP Interest Thread
Sorry, I probably should have put this in the OP, but, while I have a pretty good chunk of D&D experience, my entire Ars Magica experience consists of reading the manual once, so this game would be very newb friendly, as I am one myself. Will add this to OP.

General Ars Magica Information Ars Magica is a game about a covenant; a group of magi and their companions who live together apart from most of civilization.

Re: Ars Magica: Dead? Or hiding?
A storyteller will be the hardest thing to find I'm guessing. I don't think I could take on that position, being new to the rules, and unfortunately, but expectedly, it looks like most other people here have the same problem. If we decide to play, there is an excellent play-by-post website called My...

Well, this whole deal seems to really suck all around, but I'm sure that in the end, you will figure out the best course of action. I am dissapointed that someone could be so low as to completely drive a passionate individual away from modding a game entirely, but it may be for the best in the end. ...

Re: Ars Magica: Dead? Or hiding?
I hadn't heard of this game before, but I checked it out and it looks quite good. I bought the pdf of the core 5th edition handbook, and I'm not all the way through, but I've read the first four chapters or so and it looks great. I am somewhat sad I haven't heard of it before. I might be up as a pla...

Re: hidden 4.41 feature! (spoiler)
From those numbers, I'd say it doesn't matter, more testing is good, but that just looks like a random distribution to me. I can't test it now, but I might later and I post the results here.

Wow, there's some pretty neat usage of blocks in the banquet hall there, thanks for sharing. It is great that your creativity is flowing once more in connections with 'finalizing' BTW and beginning RTH. I wait excitedly for new development!

Re: Dwarf Fortress stole my soul
Dwarf Fortress has a sort of special feeling that no other game really has. DF is just so detailed, almost to the point of ridiculousness sometimes, and emergent gameplay is huge. The community is amazing and really quite special and unique as well, which always helps a game. The times I've been rea...

I haven't had a chance to get on yet, but will be on most likely in the next few days. This is true of me as well, and was a big part of the appeal of the se...

This looks very hard. That is good by me. Co-op player interaction will also be quite interesting.

To me, this has all the advantages of going TC, while preserving the integrity of the original BTW as it stands. What do you guys think?
