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. This site is a wiki that contains extensive reference information for Ars Magica players: descriptions of the many products available for the game, and summaries of many topics about the Order of Hermes and Mythic Europe.

It is also a great place for you to add your own fan-created content. Ars Magica will be licensed under an open license in 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!
