Several free products exist for Ars Magica Fourth Edition and Ars Magica Fifth Edition, many of them made available officially from the Atlas Games website.

Please note that while all of the products described in this page are free, most if not all, including the Fourth Edition Core Rules, are still copyrighted. They can not be freely distributed under any and all circunstances, particularly if money is involved. Permission from Atlas Games or other involved parties may be needed.

See Project Redcap's copyright policy.


Fourth Edition Core Rules

Just before the release of the Fifth Edition core book in 2004, Atlas Games decided to make the Fourth Edition core book available for free in PDF form.

Official Page

Download link

Fourth Edition Errata

See Errata.

Fourth Edition Free Products

Promises, Promises

An introductory adventure for players who are not yet used to Mythic Europe and the Order of Hermes. See Promises, Promises.

Nigrasaxa

Proposed as a likely second adventure for new Fourth Edition players, Nigrasaxa is a slightly larger, more complex and ambitious adventure, which includes a detailed Covenant by the same name. See Nigrasaxa.

Secrets in Sand

A free supplement for Blood and Sand.

Icelandic Wars

Icelandic Wars is a 15-page free supplement to Land of Fire and Ice and was published in 2003. It is not included in LoFI proper. It offers a detailed scenario based on the Toframanna Saga setting of that book, and focuses on a conflict between Iceland and the Order of Hermes. Many Story Seeds for Icelandic characters are present in the text. References to the Order of Odin are numerous.

The Covenant of Tarragon Vale

A free supplement for Sanctuary of Ice.

Fifth Edition Errata

See Errata.

Fifth Edition Free Products

Book of Mundane Beasts

See Book of Mundane Beasts. The whole text was included in Realms of Power: Magic, in part because provides a basis for creating magical beasts.

Mythic Judaism

In 2009, Atlas Games found out that some of the Judaism-related content of both Kabbalah: Mythic Judaism and Realms of Power: the Divine had been plagiarized (which is why there is no and probably never will be neither a PDF or reprint of Kabbalah: Mythic Judaism).[1]

The 2011 softcover reprint of RoP:D removes the plagiarized text, includes some errata and has a whole new chapter on Mythic Judaism that has been made available for free at Atlas Games' website, presumably as an effort not to penalize buyers of the 2005 hardcover edition.

Unlike Kabbalah: Mythic Judaism, RoP:D has a commercial PDF available, which features the revised text and therefore has no known plagiarized material.

Lords of Men Supplement: Arms and Armor

Arms and Armor is a free eight pages supplement to Lords of Men, written by Andrew Gronosky. The entire contents are also available in the book proper.
