Game Materials Available

Submitted by DC on Fri, 12/03/2004 - 18:39. ()

Folks,

I got my book from Mike today. I've created PDFs for the following:

    General Character Sheet (2 pages)
    Magus Sheet (2 pages)
    Formula Reference (3 pages)

I've posted them on the SWA site Downloads section. Click here to go straight there:

Also, the Excel sheets for Lab Work and seasonal activity tracking are still there. Mark might eventually want to modify the Lab Work spreadsheet to conform with the new rules.

Warning - the files are not small.

Enjoy,
-DC

Dave, I am working on the changes. The overall changes are larger than I was led to believe...there are lots on new things, and they aren't clear cut... Puzzled

The sourcebook lists status as of 1200; we'll be beginning in 1120, so players will have some idea of the future history.

This isn't a bad thing; I encourage players to become familiar with the history of the area, past and present. The mundane history is unlikely to change in any huge way, in any event (and if it does, it likely won't be to the players advantage in having instigated that change!), but the Hermetic history is flexible. The covenants listed in 1200 don't necessarily all exist in 1120, as the Loch Leglean covenants are known to fluctuate. The 3 biggies will, of course, exist....and the player covenant will be relatively close to one of them.

I guess my question was more along the lines of "things only the GM should know", like the political situation between covenants and stuff.

Damn! If I had known (I guess I should have looked) that they would post these PDFs, I could have saved myself a couple of hours of effort...

Two PDFs are also available on the Atlas site: a 4-page character sheet and a PDF of all the game formulae in one place....nice to have Smiling

The Loch Leglean book has some good background information in it; most of it is readable with the caveat that many of the statistics and rules etc. will be modified for 5ed, or changed at my whim.

Watch Ebay

Submitted by DC on Mon, 12/06/2004 - 13:01.

Folks,

If you're looking for other Ars Magica products, I'd suggest keeping tabs on Ebay.

Lion of the North is the sourcebook for Scotland, the Loch Leglean Tribunal, and the location of the new campaign. (As an aside, I know Roderick Robertson, the guy who wrote this book, pretty well - he's a big Glorantha guy).

I was able to get this booklet on Ebay for a minimum bid of $3.99. Nobody bid against me. 2.42 shipping brought the total to $6.41.

Also, the seller was John Nephew of Atlas Games. I guess they're clearing out old inventory cheap. The listing warned the product was "scratch-and-dent" unsellable in a retail store, but what I got is totally pristine and mint. I wouldn't guarantee this condition for all the stuff, but it looks like I made out well this time.

p.s. Mike, are there any sections of this book that you'd prefer I/we not read?
