Re: State of the Art: Ars Magica

Realms of Power: Faerie, is scheduled for a Feb 2009 release date,
which usually means early April, based upon past releases. This ends
the Realms of Power series. According to the Altas forums, although
not "official", Michele Nephew posted:

There are two titles that I actually have finished manuscripts from
David for, after ROP Faerie:

Tales of Mythic Europe
Magi of Hermes

They've not been formally announced yet, so I can't give any more
info, but I thought you might appreciate this little hint, anyway.

Since so many Ars users love Metacreator, maybe you can get a sneak
preview of these titles so you can work on incorporating them into
Metacreator!!!
