Sub Rosa is a PDF-based Ars Magica-magazine published by Mark Lawford and Ben McFarland. It is an independent publication produced by the fan community, not affiliated with Atlas Games, so it is called a fanzine. It is none the less a high-quality production featuring professional-quality editing, layout, and artwork.

Alex White was the founding publisher of Sub Rosa until Ben and Mark took over production.

Reviews of each issue of Sub Rosa are available in this thread on the official discussion forum.

Sub-Rosa is Non-Profit

In a discussion on the Berklist in late August 2012[1], the publishers pointed out that Sub Rosa is a completely non-profit publication. The publishers volunteer their time.

On our wages: There are none. It's been said elsewhere in the maelstrom but I'll reiterate it. Neither Ben nor I take anything out except satisfaction.

--Mark Lawford

100% of the subscription fees go to production costs.
