The Gaming Den

Hi mask_de_H. You can set up your lab, which is always useful if you want to invent spell, enchant magic items, bind a familiar, etc. The thing with ars magica, you get to set your own goals for your magus/covenant. What do you think your magus would want to do ? One thing we need to do is get a sou...

Can we have the important links for the in the first post of the thread ? Like the covenant sheet, character sheets, etc. ?

Laertes : We can do it via MP. Maybe another played can play the grog if they want to?

Hi momothefiddler, if I can add something to what Laertes just said. Rego Craft magic is awesome, but really hard at the same time for some things (like buildings). In fact I once played a character very similar to yours and it was really fun. There are more rules for rego craft in House of Hermes :...

Here is what I will do this season : I will use the spell Gift of Flight on me and one of my grog, disguised by the spell Under the Guise of the crow to look like crows (or any other local bird). I will then use the spells Searching for the places of power/dream to spot magical/faerie auras, and inv...

I used spells that help the natural healing process of wounds in the past, rebalance the humors of the body to fight disease as well as ways to ease childbirth.

I am sure the villagers will be interested, after all bona valetudo melior est quam maximae divitiae.

-I thought as much. Unfortunatly for us, vis sources tend to be distant, hard to find and timing is of the essence, vis can occur in and certain only for a few days a year. I can however cover a lot of ground per day and as I will be sharing the vantage point of the birds. Hopefully I will be able t...

- I shall search the wilderness and look for sources of Vis. They must abound here. I think we sould pay special attention on the pond nearby, for it has a magic aura and is likely to contain vis... maybe as its ice cover melt,we will know more about this place. Mathei laugh, and then respond to Pet...

-And it is quite impressive Camille, rest assured. Very well that settles it, I shall contract a loan with a redcap whenever they should decide to visit us or if someone was to change his mind, I would gladly spend a season teaching his an art or magical theory, as I have become quite skilled in tea...

my character isnt trying to pull a fast one. Craft magic can only do what mundane craftmen can do, but more faster. For instance, the buildings crafted are mundane. Conjuring the Mystic tower conjure a tower from the realm of platonic forms (i.e. perfect form). It is made of a single bloc of stone a...

"I mean no offense to Camille, but the magic she uses to raise building from the ground can only produce mundane results, whereas the tower I plan to conjure, similar in many ways to the original that stand proudly in Durenmar and in many other covenants throughout Europe, could be adapted to t...

[[OOC: I sused Lupo, the italian word for wolf as I plan to use italian words from time to time, like in this case when irritated. Latin is so complex, but I learned something new today :)]] Mathei reponds to Petrus, visibly more at ease now: -This valley and in fact this entire countryside is indee...

The Unnamed Covenant. 26 March 1220. Spring. (Morning) Mathei, is visibly unsettled by the not so subtle threat uttered by the wolf, sitting too close all of a sudden. He fell silent for a few seconds, trying to regain his composure, he then answer, pondering each word carefully, looking directly i...

The Unnamed Covenant. 26 March 1220. Spring. (Morning) Surprise, Mathei thinks for himself "What is then ? A shapeshifter ? No that can`t be, the other Bjornaer would never allow one to sit with them, this is well know, whatever the reason they have... Hum... All things being equals the simple...

Congrats on the job. I would gladly teach you, but we are at the same level. I do have a tractatus of creo q10, so you could use it this season if you want. Does anyone want to give me 2 pawn of creo or terram, so I can summon my house/hospital ? :) I will return the vis or a favor ! (ill post somet...

The Unnamed Covenant. 26 March 1220. Spring. (Morning) Smiling warmly and visibly more comfortable : -It is a pleasure to meet you all Nidrattr, Camille, Virgil and Petrus. If you don't mind, I would be grateful if you included me as a founding member, after all this is a rare opportunity for a mag...

Where is everyone ?

The Unnamed Covenant. 26 March 1220. Spring. (Morning) Mathei smiles and respond : -Most of us does... *Pausing before continuing* And it will be my pleasure to heal you should others decide to cause you harm....hesitate and stops* What is your name, for I like to know the name of my potential pati...

Hi Here is my character ! (Laertes, i made a few changes, mostly change virtues and flaws and spells.) Baptisimal name : Mathei Morreti Ex Bonisagus Name : same as baptisimal name, as he would considers an affront to his parents and his family to change it. Int : 2 Sta : 2 Com : 2 Per : 1 Str :-2 De...

The Unnamed Covenant. 26 March 1220. Spring. (Morning) Seing he has now the full attention of his fellow magi, Mathei continues : - As you may know already, this is a wild and dangerous land. People are bound to get sick or gravely injured... and the closest trained medicus, if one can be found rea...

Is there a day where you do like semi-live play, like during the week-end ?

The Unnamed Covenant. 26 March 1220. Spring. (Morning) The stranger, who appears to be in his early twenties, enters the council room, aknowkedging everyone at gathered at the tableby slightly bowing his head, slightly raising and eyebrow while crossing the sight of the wolf sitting on a chair. He ...

The Unnamed Covenant. 26 March 1220. Spring. (Morning) A man can be seen approaching on foot towards the encampment. He is wearing a fine black woolen tunic and a cape with a fur collar, as well as fine leather gloves. As he comes nearer, a grog approach him and enquire about the intentions of the ...

For the background I was thinking about having left Venice with my true love, against the will of her rich merchant father. The new covenant seems like a good place to start a new life. So True love flaw can also be a combination of enemy (her father) and true love, depending of the stories you want...

Hi everybody, I am a fan of Ars Magica. You have a great game going and I am hoping I can join it soon !
