Welcome to Project: Redcap, a Web site devoted to the tabletop role-playing game Ars Magica.

About Project: Redcap

Project: Redcap is maintained by volunteers from the Ars Magica fan community. It has been continuously active (and growing) since 1994. We welcome contributions from all Ars Magica players and enthusiasts, in any language.

Our goals are to provide a central portal to as much Ars Magica-related material as possible, and to serve as an online encyclopedia of both official and fan-created material.

For further information on using this Wiki and the history, goals, and activities of Project: Redcap, please see Category:Help or Category:Project Redcap.

About Ars Magica

Ars Magica is a pen and paper roleplaying game focused on wizards and magic. The game setting, Mythic Europe, is much like historical Europe of the 13th century, but where wizards, dragons, and 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.

Frequently-Asked Questions

Our unofficial Frequently-Asked Questions page answers many common questions about the rules and setting of the game.

Major Topics

Project:Redcap is an online companion to the rule books, with commentary and supplemental information about all aspects of the game.

Mythic Europe

Order of Hermes

Hermetic Magic

Non-Hermetic Magic

Internet Resources for Ars Magica

Our Internet Site Index attempts to assemble links to as many Ars Magica resources as possible, in any Project Redcap:Languages language.
