Grr. You and all this talk about Ars Magica made me go out and buy the damn book. What a magic system! Very cool. I'm used to the system in Mage which is also very cool but a lot more unstructured. Mage might actually might be a good source of ideas if you're running something after the fall of the Order. Basically Reason took over and now the world is run by the Technocracy - a bunch of fairly nasty mages and bureaucrats. Very interesting if you're a conspiracy nut since the Technocracy is the mama of all conspiracies.
I don't think I'll be in Philly next semester; I'm going to at least finish out the year here. After that, who knows. If you want to bounce some story ideas around I'd be more than willing to help. I want to know how badly you're going to make these kids suffer. My history might be a little weak but I think I have a pretty good grip of the system. Got to get my gaming fix somehow.
