Arkanum - An Ars Magica PbEM Game

Welcome to Arkanum. This web page is devoted to the Play-by-Email game that I am currently running. It is based on the Ars Magica game system which is published by Atlas Games and was started in late February 1998. It is set in the Europe of the middle ages, 1190 A.D. to be precise, where magic does exist and is controlled by the Order of Hermes. This order is a secretive thing as the church classes them as evil and the normal populace fears the mages that belong to it. If you want to know more about the game and it's releases then please try the Atlas Games homepage at the link above.

If you don't know much about Play-by-Email games then you can find out more by checking out the Play-By-Email News page. It is basically a story that is continuously being written by several people. The players all control character which interact with each other and various other people along the way. They do this by mailing their characters turns to the other players, except we post ours to a discussion group. If you wish to find out more then you can join the game as a lurker, (someone who keeps up with the story but doesn't actually play), then please contact me at the address below.

Our game takes place in the Val du Bosque region of France, in the Provencal Tribunal, a Tribunal is a gathering of mages from a particular area. The game centres around a covenant of mages and the other people that live there. It's actual location is at the foot of Mount Tierne. As the game is still being played there are a lot of things that the players do not know about. These things will not appear on the web site until the players have discovered them.

Sites of Interest

This link will take you to my interesting sites page. This page contains sites about the Ars Magica game and information that may be useful to players and Storyguides. It also contains pages that I think are good but have nothing to do with Ars Magica or this PbEM.

Extras

Certain fonts are used on this page to enhance how it looks. Although you don't really need them I think it looks better if you do have them. There are only two and you can download them by following the link above.
