Stories

This is a pulsed saga, which means that a story might cover a mere week, which might then be followed by, for example, twelve seasons of game time prior to the start of the next story. The intense bursts of activity give companions and grogs ample opportunities for play, while the long periods of downtime allow characters to study, and magi can advance to high levels of power.

What follows is a list of the stories created thus far.

Spring, 1220AD

The Three Lions Inn

 In response to letters regarding the formation of a new covenant, a number of young magi gather their chattels, and travel to the Three Lions Inn, in the little manor of Church Stretton.


Out-of-Character Mailing List We have a Yahoo! Group called "Arcanum Magica" where we discuss the game. http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ArcanumMagica/

In addition to this, and the mailing list, there are also diaries, where the players can record the mage's activities, and possibly more interestingly, their private thoughts and aspirations.

While the diaries do exist, as a game mechanic, they are utterly inaccessible to other characters within the game. I think they will add more to the game if their use is risk free.

What follows is a list of the stories created thus far.
