A Sixth Edition?

We have had many inquiries from both fans and potential designers about a new edition of Ars Magica. While we are likely to do a sixth edition at some point in the future, we want to be clear that nothing we've announced here is that. We certainly have many ideas for what a new edition might look like, but such an undertaking won't be carried out lightly.

In the meantime, what we believe absolutely is that Ars Magica Fifth Edition is and continues to be a compelling, fun, mature product line with a deep backlist, excellent support, and a magnificent fan community. We think that it remains as viable for play now as it has been for the past twelve years. If you're a fan, we hope you'll continue to enjoy Ars Magica. If you've never given it a try, we hope you'll give it a go!

Gen Con Seminar 2015

There is a panel discussion scheduled for Gen Con 2015 (on Saturday, Aug. 1, at 5:00 pm) about the future of Ars Magica. Perhaps some more information will be forthcoming then. We will update this page after the seminar has been held.

Tales of the Quaesitors

Tales of the Quaesitors is not a new edition of Ars Magica. It's an Ars-Magica related product that probably counts as part of ArM5 because it's set in the ArM5 universe using different rules.
