Product Availability
Distributors may carry print editions of many Ars Magica products long after they are out of stock at the publisher; ask your FLGS if they can order the book you want.
For PDF editions, the authorized seller is Warehouse 23, which offers a catalog of Ars Magica merchandise both on paper and digital media.
Midway through 2014, some Ars Magica digital products (so far only for Ars Magica Third Edition or earlier) became available through DriveThruRPG.
Print editions (when still available) and PDF editions may now also be purchased directly from Atlas Games’ online shop or via Amazon print-on-demand.
