Ars Magia has now been renamed to Ars Mechanicum, and that’s now the “official” title of the game. So future updates will reference this, but previous entries referencing “Ars Magia” will remain as is.

The reasons for the name change are:

  1. The game has gone back to its “grass roots”, the original Ars Mechanica short-short stories, but integrated with the game itself and the tie-in novella.
  2. I wanted to avoid confusion and copyright problems altogether with Atlas Games’ Ars Magica tabletop RPG. Not even sure if that’s being sold or played still, but this is a matter of principle.

The blog layout has also had a facelift, as has the web address. It’s now http://arsmechanicum.tk, so be sure to update bookmarks accordingly.
