Nothing overly nefarious I’m afraid. I wrote an Ars Magica hack a few years ago and I just got inspired to give it a much needed revision.
well, I’m intrigued none the less!

Jared Hunt Excited to see what comes of this! Since the development of Blades in the Dark, I’ve always thought some hybrid of it and Wizard World could work really well to capture that Ars Magica feeling.
Totally agree, Niall O’Donnell. BitD would be especially good at capturing a high-action, wizards-as-superheroes style of Ars Magica campaign.
Jared Hunt That revision can only be great (and really loved) news 🙂
Jared Hunt How is this going? I was going to start a campaign with Wizard World “1st Edition” and i will love to playtest the second one if you need help!
Jaime Climent Thanks!
I did run a 6 month playtest campaign with v2 (revising constantly along the way) and ultimately decided that I wasn’t happy with it. I feel like there is a disconnect between my desire to honour the minutiae of Ars Magica and the narrative sweet spot where PbtA games really excel.
At this point it’s a bit of an unwieldy mess that I haven’t looked at for many months. If I do get around to a 3rd try, I will keep you in mind. 🙂
Oh, that is nice!
What am I missing?
So, what is the plan here?
