Welcome to Project: Redcap, a Web site devoted to the tabletop role-playing game Ars Magica. Our goals are to provide links to as much Ars Magica-related material the on the Web as possible, in as many languages as possible, and to serve as an online encyclopedia of both official and fan-created material.

Project: Redcap is maintained by volunteers from the Ars Magica fan community. It has been continuously active (and growing) since 1994.

We are well along in the process of migrating all the legacy pages from Project: Redcap into the new Wiki. Those legacy pages are still online and available at http://www.redcap.org/index-old.html.

About Ars Magica

Ars Magica is a pen and paper roleplaying game focused on wizards and magic. The game setting, Mythic Europe, is much like historical Europe of the 13^th century, but where wizards, dragons, and faeries exist.

While the game is grounded in real history, the magic in Ars Magica is fictitious. The game has nothing to do with purported phenomena, beliefs, or practices related to the occult. It draws more on modern ideas of fantastic fiction, flavored with some authentic medieval fiction and folklore.

More information about the game is available on our Welcome to Ars Magica page, including helpful advice for newcomers to start playing.
