Sure, they're not the reason for the rolling, but grogs help make Ars Magica games go, and they're the focus of issue #11! We've got a full harvest of rough warriors often tasked with keeping your magi safe and decidedly fletching-free, lovingly crafted by Ennie-award winning author Ben McFarland, with Mark Lawford (Grogs, Tales of Mythic Europe, Magi of Hermes), Matt Ryan (Tales of Mythic Europe, Houses of Hermes: Mystery Cults, Rival Magic, Art&Academe and David Staveley. Gerald Wylie returns to tackle the difficult existence of outlaws and what it means for the Storyguide running your saga.
But don't think magi are ignored this issue! Mark Shirley (author on more than 20 Ars Magica books!) provides an excellent look at training packages for magi-- riffing from the system presented in Grogs, while Mark Lawford gives you the in-depth look at creating a Hermetic Architect from apprenticeship to maturity.
Offering their generous and lovely talents, you'll find the pages of this issue graced with the artwork of Angela Taylor, Barrie James, Jason Tseng, Kyle Cabral, and Patrick Demo.
We've got the Journal of Vulcanis Argens, supplemental rules on conception, and a sordid adventure of revenge and lost love by newcomer Edward Kendrick! Round things out with David Chart's news from the line, a Mappa Mundi column actually focused on maps, more metacreator files and handouts than you can swing a flail at, and this is an issue you won't want to pass up.
So join the turb and pick up Sub Rosa #11 today!
-Ben.
