Atlas Games announced that the Ars Magica game system and setting will be released under an open license.
The open license will begin with the launch of Ars Magica Definitive Edition, which will be headed to BackerKit on October 15, 2024 for crowdfunding. Ars Magica Definitive Edition is a deluxe version of the 5E rulebook (see ” ‘Ars Magica 5E’ Softcover“) that has been expanded to feature over 600 pages of content.
“Ars Magica has never had an open license,” said John Nephew, co-owner of Atlas Games. “Yet still the internet is full of fan-created content, which is something we’ve always quietly encouraged. That speaks more than anything to the game’s devoted and creative fan following, and the importance of this license to make our support explicit.”
More information on this product will be coming prior to the launch of the crowdfunding campaign.
