Subject Guidelines
We would like to host articles which come under any of the following
categories:
- Background Material
Anything which further details any aspect of the Order of Hermes or
Mythic Europe in general. (Information on Houses, customs and
practices of magi, articles relating to the Church or the Infernal
Realm, Faerie Lore, Artes Liberales, etc.)
- Rules
Anything which constitutes a new ruleset and adds to the system. (We
do not particularly want details of minor rules tweaks, or
unnoteworthy interpretations of existing rules, though.)
- Mediaeval History
Any article which further fleshes out details of historical Europe,
either real or Mythic. (Customs, practices, notable events, timelines,
etc.)
- Characters
Any written-up characters which are interesting or unique in some
way. (We don't especially want a simple list of stats for a
starting magus, but an original character that would make a good NPC,
either magus or not, would be suitable.)
- Essays
Any interesting in-character writings. (Spells are OK if they
support details of some magical theory or tradition, or if they form
some kind of `themed set', but we'd rather not have simple spells
by themselves.)
- Stories
Any interesting Ars Magica-related fiction which you may have written.
- Creatures
Anything which could form part of a Bestiary, either Magical, Divine,
Infernal, Fae or mundane. (Preferably more than just a simple
list of creature stats, though.)
- Utilities
Any program (Java or otherwise) or utility which may be useful to the
Ars Magica storyguide or player.
- Articles on any other topic which you think may be of interest
to the Ars Magica fan.
Note that all articles herein are intended to be saga-independent.
Anything which is related to a specific saga, or at least which could not be
adapted to other sagas, whilst it may be of interest, is beyond the
purview of this site.

order of preference):
