(As a side note, I must confess to loathing the D20 system I run my D20 game for convenience’s sake and am entering the process of conversion to a HarnMaster/Ars Magica homebrew hybrid.)īMoG thus needs to pass two tests. Likewise, I’m also coming at this book from the perspective of a long-term D20 game master, having run a fortnightly Forgotten Realms game for the past year. It’s the best magic system out there and I’d hate it to be changed to something else. I’ve got a lot of interest in Ars Magica remaining Ars Magica. First, as a Ars Magica game master, whose run a weekly two year saga, and who contributes to the only English language Ars-fanzine, Hermes’ Portal. I’ll deal with that in the art section below. John Nephew also commented that BMoG was a testing ground for a possible format for Ars Magica 5th Edition, particularly the cover and possibly the interior. From what I’ve heard from John Nephew and others at the Atlas Forums and RPG.net, the experiment is not a stunning success. We were assured that this book was merely one of Atlas Games’ Coriolis supplements: dual stat books designed to showcase Atlas settings to the D20 audience. There has been a fear that Ars Magica, like so many other game lines (7th Sea, L5R, Traveler, BESM), would be converted to D20. The design around the picture is suitably medieval.īlack Monks of Glastonbury (BMoG) caused a bit of a controversy a while back in Ars Magica circles. Its cover is a dull brown, showing two dark looking monks hurrying by some armoured men. It is a fairly slim book, with only around 80 pages.
It also includes rules for diabolism for both Ars Magica and D20. It is a setting/story book, describing Glastonbury abbey in thirteenth century England, its surroundings, inhabitants and story-hooks. The Black Monks of Glastonbury, by David Chart is a dual-stat Coriolis supplement for Ars Magica and D20.
