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. ...

Sorry for the off-topic, but is that panda's texture pack or what, because that sky is amazing!

Yes, you can buy the 5th edition handbook as a .pdf here or as a physical book here . Ars Magica is a highly flexible system. ... You can invent any sort of spell that is within your power. Yes, the magic system is one of the cooler parts of Ars Magica. If you can think of a spell, chances are you c...

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.

Apologies for the late reply, but the interest thread is up and running, so please continue discussion of the pssibility of a play-by-post game there.

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. A magus is a person who practices Hermetic magic, a very powerful Gift. However, there is a disadvantage as well, which is that a magus makes...

Wow, thanks for lots of really cool stuff, especially with all this crap flying around!

(well, stamens are the male bits technically and pollen is the... you know, but close enough.) Well... that's a weird thing to be allergic to... Okay, I lol'd. I have pollen allergies, but I've never thought of the this way. Thanks for giving me something to laugh about when pollen allergies bother...

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. ...

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...

Have a happy new year everyone!

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.

Merry Christmas everyone! This update is a great present.

That is true. In fact it is quite possible that it is an exploit, how would one go about telling FC?

This series seems to be shaping up pretty well, episode 2 is out: luoBK_6C8JI It is pretty cool to see someone discovering everything for the first time. Maybe this will introduce some new people to BTW. He makes his first windmill, and gets the "Not enough space. (Wind Mills are friggin HUGE)&...

Wow, lots of awesome goodies here! This kind of thing is great, I have so many new things to try out. As usual, it seems that you have planned for this, and I know that I will not have a lack of things to do over the break for RTH. There are just so many aesthetic possibilities with these new mini-b...

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!

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...

-Added nether brick Siding, Moulding, Corners, Pedestals, Columns, and Tables. Awesome! My nether base could use some aesthetic upgrades. -Added internal functionality to determine when a block has a center "hard point" to a particular facing to determine if things like torches, Lightning...

Also, one thing I am looking forward to in this is that I have absolutely NO idea how any of BWR works, so I'll be figuring it out on my own. 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.

I would request a white-list, this looks like lots of Fun.

Welcome, and have fun growing your own spiky exoskeleton!

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? Well, I haven't been able to contribute to the discussion before, but what I think is that a sequel is a quite a good solution to this problem. You have BTW, whic...
