Hello everybody!
We have made a decision about the covenant that we are going to introduce in the Ars Magica Guide to Serenissima Obscura.
It will be set in Murano, just a short boat ride away from Venice. This vantage point outside the reach of the Stupor, gives the magi the opportunity to observe from outside, but also to participate in the Serenissima's fate, whenever they see fit.
The characters will be tasked with building a townhouse in Venice and finding out, if it is safe to come out as hermetic magi in this Magical Renaissance. An excellent job for a troupe of "fresh" magi and companions. What do you think?

It's a great idea.
I preferthe Fondaco dei Turchi because there are floor plans to steal, but Murano is a great choice.
Ah yes. But the Fondaco del Turchi is already used in our campaign as the guesthouse of the Serenissima – which it was at that time. (At least occasionally.)
Depending on how the characters start, this is where they will meet a lot of important NPCs.

A quick typo check: in your Ars section of the Backerkit it says "80 stats for creatures and characters, as well as the magical items,", then in the text and and in the art with the purple background it says "Confront 60+ monsters and villains". I thought I'd flag it in case it's a typo
Thanks, but this is no typo:
There are 80 stats for NPCS and creatures, but only 60 of them are "enemies". The rest are potentially friendly npcs. I know it is a bit confusing. I should change it...
Oh, no, that make sense...

I added a short explanation in both paragraphs though. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi everybody. Just a short update: The Ars Magica community goal of our project is at 108 of 200 copies ordered.
It would be great if we could reach it be fore the end of the campaign.
If you want to help us, please share the campaign.
Here is the link to the community goal:
Also, Ars Magica seems to represent nearly half the backers, (and is winning the race against the other 5e to get our special book printed better).
Congrats to all of us !

Hey everybody!
There is good news for the Ars Magica add-on: Despite the fact, that we are still far from reaching our true financial goal, Ben and Michel have agreed to finance a few additional illustrations for the covenant in Murano. I am very much looking forward to fleshing out the inhabitants and details of this place.
So, if you have not yet backed us: now would be a great moment.
And, if you have: please recommend our project to a friend.
We have got a bit more than a week to make this a success!
Thank you for your support!
