Saga

From Project: Redcap
Revision as of 20:13, 21 April 2013 by IMHO (talk | contribs) (Added a new section on non-traditional sagas with one idea. As more are added, it may be appropriate to start bullet pointing them. Changed Legacy Page from subsection to section.)

A saga is a series of related stories played by a group of Ars Magica players over several (or many) game sessions. A saga typically spans many in-game years, allowing for character development and growth. Ars Magica sagas can last over a century (in-game), covering several generations of mundanes or even magi.

In other roleplaying games, equivalent terms may be campaign or chronicle.

Many game groups have Web sites where they document their Sagas. Collecting those links is a major part of the Project Redcap mission. Links to such websites can be found on the Internet site index. Each tribunal page lists sagas particularly set in that tribunal. The Regional Tribunals page has a list of the links to each tribunal, as does the main page which also has a link to alternate settings.

Non-traditional sagas

Although there is no official saga type, generally sagas will revolve around a covenant. One possible alternative to this would be a saga focused on apprentices on a itinerarium.
