So there's a new edition of Ars Magica coming, huh. I realized ages ago I found the game a source of interesting ideas, like the troupe style play, but to actually play it was like my attempts at Traveller, spreadsheets.
For some reason I have gotten the impression that after all these editions, AM have its fans, but that few new people get it. Maybe it needs a new edition, to get in front of new people? I wonder if it's really an insular game and fanbase?
