(I say that because maybe you've seen me say it here and I don't wanna be *that guy*)

So there's the #Arcanum rules for #Ironsworn, but I wanted to also pull in some of the lore, just maybe at a more dialed-back state. And man, does this hold promise.

So now this might become my "kinda-a-Witcher becomes a weird gopher for a covenant of weird wizards" game. And then I can hop from character to character, which is how an Ars Magica game is supposed to go.

@AndreasDavour That's literally the cool thing about Ars Magica. The thing that's not so cool about it is the fact that it went from a relatively slim tome that allowed you to elaborate on things pretty effectively with second edition to the bloated wallowing creature of perhaps a thousand too many pages of fifth.

But that's okay because there's a really nice add-on for #Ironsworn that effectively gives you Ars Magica magic: #Arcanum . And it's much more narratively focused, structured rules. At this point, I wouldn't play AM any other way.

J'ai tout de suite adoré #Arcanum, dès sa preview dans #Joystick (lue et relue pendant, ça m'a marqué, des vacances de Noël 2000 curieusement passées à Nouakchott), puis en découvrant sa superbe boîte (embarquant l'#ost) et plus encore, évidemment, après y avoir joué ! Pour moi un classique à la hauteur des premiers #Fallout, visiblement pas si bon que ça quand je vois qu'il est beaucoup moins passé à la postérité. Sans doute à cause de ses bugs et de son équilibrage ? #retrogaming #jeuxvideo
