Note: If you are looking for the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) project, it is located at www.projectredcap.org.
Project: Redcap is a center for the fan community of Ars Magica, a tabletop roleplaying game. Here you will find links to Ars Magica resources and information across the World Wide Web. This site is a wiki that contains extensive reference information for Ars Magica players: descriptions of the many products available for the game, and summaries of many topics about the Order of Hermes and Mythic Europe.

It is also a great place for you to add your own fan-created content. Ars Magica will be licensed under an open license in 2024. The administrators hope Project: Redcap will become a repository of open gaming content related to Ars Magica (posting your open content here is easier than running your own wiki). The value of Project: Redcap only grows through your contributions. Get involved!

Official Ars Magica discussion forums: Atlas Games's official discussion forums are the de facto center of the online fan community. Here players exchange story ideas, discuss the fine points of the rules, and even find other players or play Ars Magica by forum. As of July 2019, the Atlas forum is down indefinitely, as a result of an unexpected upgrade by their server host; Atlas Games retains the data, and hopes to make it accessible in future. ArM gamers are directed to the very active Ars Magica Discord community server, or the venerable Berkeley mailing list.
Atlas Games: Atlas Games has lots of useful information and downloads on its pages for the Fifth (current) and Fourth Editions.
Sub Rosa: Sub Rosa is the current Ars Magica fanzine.
Peripheral Code: Peripheral Code is a new Ars Magica fanzine that began publishing in 2016.
Metacreator: Metacreator is commercial character-creation software that supports Ars Magica ( Fourth and Fifth Editions).
The Net Wizard's Grimoire: A collection of hundreds of fan-created spells where you can submit your own.
Grand Tribunal Conventions: The fan community has been organizing Ars Magica conventions since 2007: see Grand Tribunal UK and Grand Tribunal USA
Mailing lists: The venerable ArM Berkeley List is still active. Since the retirement of Google Plus services in December 2018, the Google Plus Ars Magica communities are no longer supported -Ars Magica RPG, The Ethereal Tribunal, and Sub Rosa: The Ars Magica Fanzine.
The Ars Magica Discord: Join the Ars Magica Community Server on Discord using the following invite: https://discord.gg/Eb8zhD4.

+* [[Project Redcap: Community portal]]
-'''Ars Magica''' is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_game_%28pen_and_paper%29 pen and paper roleplaying game] focused on wizards and magic. The game setting, [[Mythic Europe]], is much like historical Europe of the 13<sup>th</sup> century, but where [[magus | wizards]], [[dragon | dragons]], and [[faerie | faeries]] exist.
-While the game is grounded in [[real history]], the magic in Ars Magica is fictitious. The game has nothing to do with purported phenomena, beliefs, or practices related to the occult. It draws instead on modern ideas of fantastic fiction, flavored with some authentic medieval fiction and folklore.
