I heard that Ars Magica has an OGL.Does it have a SRD
Sell me on this game and which edition is good
>>98072293Ars Magica has you make multiple characters, a magic one and at least one nonmagical one. Your magical character's job is to learn and create magic spells, while your nonmagical character's job is to act as their servant and meat shield. I've only ever read the PDF for the most recent edition, but haven't heard about any edition wars, so I assume the newest one is the best one.
>>98072170Yes it does. It also has a PPD, a set of CDXz's and a big fat FU.
>>98076374I care more about the Mythic Earth aspect
>>98077510It gave me an STD
>>98076374It does look like The Substance. That movie.
>>98072170I wasn't aware of it having an open license in the first place, but a simple search shows that yep, it does, and nope, there is no SRD>>98072293I have played wizards in Mage: the Ascension, Mage: the Awakening, Vampire: the Masquerade, D&D (multiple editions), 2d20 Conan, etc. etc...Ars Magica (I played ArM 5) is the wizardiest game about wizards doing wizardry. You got rules for crafting your own spells, building a wizard tower, writing and trading grimoires, enchanting objects, training up an apprentice, waging magical duels or sneaky long-distance wizard wars, and assembling away-teams of servants and minions.Fair warning, though, it plays really differently to most RPGs. I think that is also a positive.
>>98081697I just want the magic system really

I know, I know, the worldbuilding kinda sucks but one of the appealing things was a lot of the magic and lore referencing real world alchemists and folklore and stuff, and that's one of the few things I know about Ars Magica.
Is there a spell casting cheat sheet?
>>98087679I seen them before, but it's pretty simple the point you won't really need it after a while.
