Note: If you are looking for the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) project, it is located at www.projectredcap.org.
Project: Redcap is a center for the fan community of Ars Magica, a tabletop roleplaying game. Here you will find links to Ars Magica resources and information across the World Wide Web. The site also contains extensive reference information for Ars Magica players: extensive open game content, descriptions of the many products available for the game, summaries of many topics about the Order of Hermes and Mythic Europe, and fan-created content.
This wiki is also a great place for you to add your own fan-created content. Ars Magica content is licensed under an open license from 2024. The administrators hope Project: Redcap will become a repository of open gaming content related to Ars Magica (posting your open content here is easier than running your own wiki). The value of Project: Redcap only grows through your contributions. Get involved!
 | Notice 2024-10-20: Following the announcement of the new Ars Magica Open License the community is rallying to convert ArM Open License products to an online reference. The
Ars Magica Open Content Conversion Tracker is provided to track progress of this project. Get involved! |
