One of the main goals of Project: Redcap is to bring together links to as many Ars Magica resources as possible, regardless of their age or perceived quality. Please help by contributing links to your own Ars Magica Web site(s) or any sites you come across.

The sub-topics below lead to individual pages devoted to those sub-topics. Most of the links are on the sub-pages. You may also find it useful to browse by category.

Starting Points

The following sites are good starting points for exploring Ars Magica on the web.

Official Ars Magica discussion forums: Atlas Games's official discussion forums are the de facto center of the online fan community. Here players exchange story ideas, discuss the fine points of the rules, and even find other players or play Ars Magica by forum. Most Ars Magica discussions currently occur on Atlas Games Official Forum or the very active Ars Magica Discord community server.
Atlas Games: Atlas Games has lots of useful information and downloads on its pages for the Fifth (current) and Fourth Editions.
Sub Rosa: Sub Rosa is the current Ars Magica fanzine.
Peripheral Code: Peripheral Code is a new Ars Magica fanzine that began publishing in 2016.
Metacreator: Metacreator is commercial character-creation software that supports Ars Magica ( Fourth and Fifth Editions).
The Net Wizard's Grimoire: A collection of hundreds of fan-created spells where you can submit your own.
Grand Tribunal Conventions: The fan community has been organizing Ars Magica conventions since 2007: see Grand Tribunal UK and Grand Tribunal USA
Mailing lists: As of the early 2020's the venerable Berkeley List is no longer active.; Since the retirement of Google Plus services in December 2018, the Google Plus Ars Magica communities are no longer supported -Ars Magica RPG, The Ethereal Tribunal, and Sub Rosa: The Ars Magica Fanzine.
The Ars Magica Discord: Join the Ars Magica Community Server on Discord using the following invite: https://discord.gg/Eb8zhD4.

Helpful non-Ars Magica sites

Wikipedia is probably known to most readers already. Check the link for the uses in creating and preparing an Ars Magica game.

TV Tropes another large wiki, dedicated to tropes- conventions of various media used to tell stories- and the media that use them. These can be of great help, both from reviewing a trope directly or seeing examples of where it's been used ("you know how in that one scene they..."). The site also gives information on creators and collaborators in various works- authors, directors, artists, actors, etc- and actors Check out the write up on TV Tropes in our wiki for more on how it can be used and warnings on how it can be a HUGE time suck.

Internet Archive contains or links to a large number of public domain works in a number of different formats.
