Special Announcement: Years of Conquest, the Ars Magica Computer Game

19 October 2012: For the first time, a software studio has proposed to develop a computer game of Ars Magica! This is a Kickstarter project, meaning the developer is asking for pledges up-front and if that raises enough money, they'll be able to make the game. See our Years of Conquest page for more information.

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 13th 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 instead on modern ideas of fantastic fiction, flavored with some authentic medieval fiction and folklore.

Internet Resources for Ars Magica

Our Internet Site Index attempts to assemble links to as many Ars Magica resources as possible, in any language.

Many fan sites relate to individual Sagas, which we categorize by Tribunal.
