Man it's good to play a refreshed version of a game you used to spend hours in more than 20 years ago 👏.
P.S.: I wonder why do modern day games have much better visuals but are lacking in terms of soul and atmosphere? Take for example #Fallout 2, #Arcanum, #Heroes 3, #Stronghold, #GTA3, #Quake, #MaxPayne...

some of the best news i've heard all year: alex batalov (who worked on the F1 and F2 engine re-implementations) is now taking on reverse-engineering Arcanum's engine

(I say that because maybe you've seen me say it here and I don't wanna be *that guy*)
So there's the #Arcanum rules for #Ironsworn, but I wanted to also pull in some of the lore, just maybe at a more dialed-back state. And man, does this hold promise.
So now this might become my "kinda-a-Witcher becomes a weird gopher for a covenant of weird wizards" game. And then I can hop from character to character, which is how an Ars Magica game is supposed to go.
@AndreasDavour That's literally the cool thing about Ars Magica. The thing that's not so cool about it is the fact that it went from a relatively slim tome that allowed you to elaborate on things pretty effectively with second edition to the bloated wallowing creature of perhaps a thousand too many pages of fifth.
But that's okay because there's a really nice add-on for #Ironsworn that effectively gives you Ars Magica magic: #Arcanum . And it's much more narratively focused, structured rules. At this point, I wouldn't play AM any other way.
