| There is no Ars Magica Sixth Edition, though Atlas has said there will "likely" be one in the future.
| |
| | |
| == Atlas Games Announcement, 14 May 2015 ==
| |
| Atlas Games posted a [http://blog.atlas-games.com/2015/05/futura-artis-magicae-future-of-ars.html blog entry] on 14 May 2015 about the future of Ars Magica. The parts relevant to a possible Sixth Edition are:
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>
| |
| <h3>A Sixth Edition?</h3>
| |
| 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''' (emphasis added) 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 [http://www.atlas-games.com/arm5/ 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 ==
| |
| [[User:Andrew Gronosky|Andrew Gronosky]] ([[User talk:Andrew Gronosky|talk]]) 19:59, 4 November 2016 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| There was a [http://www.gencon.com/events/75651 panel discussion] at Gen Con 2015 (on Saturday, Aug. 1, at 5:00 pm) about the future of Ars Magica. [[Andrew Gronosky]] and [[Erik Dahl]] were in attendance, as well as several Atlas Games people ([[John Nephew]], [[Jeff Tidball]], [[Cam Banks]], and special guest [[Jonathan Tweet]]).
| |
| | |
| The executive summary of that meeting is that Atlas has no immediate plans to start writing a Sixth Edition of Ars Magica (as of August 2015). They are, however, quite interested in new games and products related to the [[Mythic Europe]] setting. Atlas indicated the Ars Magica / GUMSHOE crossover game ''[[Tales of the Quaesitors]]'' was in development, and representative of the sort of product they'd like to produce in the future.
| |
| | |
| There was an engaging discussion between Atlas and the fans. Fans indicated interest in supplements or perhaps spin-off RPGs set in variations of [[Mythic Europe]], such as a Mythic China book or an Ars Magica "prequel" game set in Imperial Rome and centered on the [[Cult of Mercury]]. Atlas seemed to like hearing fans' suggestions and indicated more discussion with fans at conventions would be very welcome. You can use the "[http://forum.atlas-games.com/viewforum.php?f=25 Ask Atlas]" topic on the [http://forum.atlas-games.com/index.php Atlas forums] to inquire about their convention schedule. When it comes to ideas for what future spin-off products you might like to see, it's best to check in with the [[fan community]] to catch up on what has already been proposed or may be in the works.

| == 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.
| |
| | |
| [[Tales of the Quaesitors]] is mentioned in the [http://blog.atlas-games.com/2015/05/futura-artis-magicae-future-of-ars.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+atlasgames+%28Atlas+Dispatches%29&hootPostID=db2a339a3433b9abbf0f006170c7ab77 Futura Artis Magicae: The Future of Ars Magica] blog post on the Atlas Games site as a standalone investigative RPG using the [http://site.pelgranepress.com/index.php/gumshoe/ GUMSHOE] system.
