Sub Rosa magazine
Sub Rosa is a PDF-based Ars Magica-magazine published by Mark Lawford and Ben McFarland. It is an independent publication produced by the fan community, not affiliated with Atlas Games, so it is called a fanzine. It is none the less a high-quality production featuring professional-quality editing, layout, and artwork.
Alex White was the founding publisher of Sub Rosa until Ben and Mark took over production.

Sub-Rosa is Non-Profit
In a discussion on the Berklist in late August 2012[1], the publishers pointed out that Sub Rosa is a completely non-profit publication. The publishers volunteer their time.
On our wages: There are none. It's been said elsewhere in the maelstrom but I'll reiterate it. Neither Ben nor I take anything out except satisfaction.
--Mark Lawford
100% of the subscription fees go to production costs.
