Ars Magica
Have you participated in an Ars Magica saga (player or storyguide)? If so, what did you think of the game and the Mythic Europe setting?

I personally didnt enjoy the game but I've only played it once so it could be down to the group/gm. However I found that magic was very overpowering. True it does put the 'Magic' back into magic systems but you can see why it was used as a testbed for WoD and left.

What I mostly liked about the magic system was it's versatile aspect.
I've always had problems with having a fixed spells (like D&D) and not being able to do more "improvised" spells, without having to completely design a spell.
However, I prefer the D&D combat system and all.

I played ARS Magica some years back then and was preparing to antoher campaign, which was never started. I played french alchemist-werewolf, based on novel "Pack" by Tadeusz Oszubski and coincided to mine Mage: the Ascension character. I especially loved covenant creating, drawing plans and debating other mages. GM had a hard time to pull us from Covenant and trhow int the adventure
I love shorcuts!:
