In the June 1991 edition of Dragon (Issue #170), Ken Rolston was impressed by this book's "fine problem-solving and moral challenges." He concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "The story and theme are appealing, and the scenarios present many opportunities for rich role-playing and engaging GM performances." [2]
Matthew Gabbert reviewed the product in the February–March 1991 issue of White Wolf. [3] He spoke positively about its content, artwork, stated that "it was well worth the wait" and is an "easy-to-run and easy-to-adapt package." [3] He rated it overall 4 out of a possible 5 points. [3]
Ars Magica is a role-playing game set in 'Mythic Europe' – a historically grounded version of Europe and the Levant around AD 1200, with the added conceit that conceptions of the world prevalent in folklore and institutions of the High Middle Ages are factual reality. The players' involvement revolves around an organization of magi and their allies and foes both mundane and supernatural. The game was originally developed by Jonathan Tweet and Mark Rein-Hagen, with its first edition published in 1987.
Mark Rein-Hagen, stylized as Mark Rein•Hagen, is an American role-playing, card, video and board game designer best known as the creator of Vampire: The Masquerade and its associated World of Darkness games. Along with Jonathan Tweet, he is also one of the original two designers of Ars Magica.
