Hello all.
I imagine I could run a game...eventually. I used to run them on the Atlas board but never here. The biggest problem is time.
I have a couple of settings I can use. One is easy ( for me) to pick back up. The other is a new setting that would require some play testing as there would be some different rules.
For those that might be interested, what is the general comfort with the game as written? Beginner? Intermediate? Advanced?
Hello jebrick!
A setting that requires play testing rules isn't a good fit for RPoL in general. The pace of play is very slow compared to face-to-face and it would really make the feedback cycle slow and difficult. If you can get a small group of dedicated and actively interested players it could work, otherwise you'll likely run into trouble.
That said, run what you want to run. An active and happy Storyteller is necessary for a good game. You also need active and engaged players, but without the Storyteller it is hard to have a game.
Most of my direct Ars Magica experience is from 2nd edition. I dropped out during White Wolf and 3rd edition as I really disliked some of the changes being made to the world. About six years ago I got back into Ars Magica thanks to 5e.
I'm at intermediate comfort with the 5e rules. I've run a few short games face-to-face and have played in a few brief games here on RPoL.
