Although my dreams of Shadowrun games have fallen into oblivion, my Ars Magica game have been running smoothly (and consistantly (mostly)) for the past few months now.

So far we have been playing on Sunday nights (7-ish to 10-ish) but this might change, so be aware of that fact (to week nights if does, in fact, change)

The actual players have done most of the hardest job: finding (and securing) a covenant.

All there is left is to survive Political plots, the Dominion, the pesty fea and common folks while keeping an eye on your soul, lest a demon wins it. In short: The fun part is still to play!

Open-worlded, objective-free, the game let you explore the world I created for you and the magnificient magical system that Ars magica propose you.

Who will reach-out and seek the opportunity?

Seeking 2 more players (for a total of 4).

Would love too but Sunday is impossible for me. I'm too busy getting roasted by the good ole Sun.

Will check regularly to see if the gaming time changes to weekday or not. :)

I'm one of the other players and it has been a fun game so far. Ars Magica is also one of those games everyone needs to try at some point if only to play with what lots of people (including me) think is the best magic system ever!

I'm always interested in Ars Magica, but i'm not able to make it on Sundays. Weekday evenings are better for me. Preferably Wednesday or alternate Fridays. :D ;)

We're locked into Sunday for now due to one of the players working till 9pm every other night. If that changes we'll almost certainly change the evening.

Right now it's no Sunday's at all! Personal issues have meant we haven't been playing much. But the aim is definitely for every Sunday, but I'll let Tarko comment in case he'd be willing to consider changing that.

Well I'm in if I can play a non-mage Companion all the time. Not big on being a Mage usually

After new development in RL, the game will most likely be switched during week-time in the coming weeks.

I will confirm When and most important, Where, when I do have the details.

@Divine: Wouldn't recommend it, you will be bored to death. Unless you can find one hell of a reason to let the Magus into the inner-council of the covenant. If you would like to play just for adventures, then can arrange that by calling you one week prior of when it's "planned".

Im looking at Wednesdays for gaming nights and Im not too sure where yet.

I'd like to ask you guys when would be more convenient between Wednesday or Thursday nights?

And if You have a place to game, please say it, keeping in mind our relative geographical locations.

Im @HarbourFront but I work on Shenton Way after the game.

I can make Wednesday nights most of the time. I haven't decided on a character concept though.

WRT to location, I can suggest SMU Concourse, Peace Centre McDonald's or Bras Basah McDonald's. All are pretty accomodating if we don't make too much noise. And they're pretty central. :D

Im not too keen on McDo's and such public places... anywhere more.. private?

Although I guess it's kinda hard to find in Singapore.

Could you specify exactly what you mean by private? Do you mean someone's house or could you settle for a place that's secluded but still in public view?

With regards to character concepts, could you give us a description of the current player character concepts? I'd like to create a character that complements the current covenant. But i'm quite in favour of playing a mage that has Strong Fearie Blood and Gentle Gift. Probably slightly more talky.

We've been playing in my living room but it's not really ideal as I've got kids and a wife. The kids go to bed but the wife still wants to watch TV. As Tarko and I are both expats we're used to playing in people's houses so it takes a bit of adjustment to get used to the idea of playing a RPG in front of strangers. But it's pretty obvious that we need to just get used to that as an idea.

Well, speaking from a Singaporean perspective, I've been playing RPGs in public spaces since I was 14 yrs old. A group of us even LARP'ed in public when we were in university. So I guess we're used to blocking out people walking past and stuff.

If you'd like a more private area, I could ask PI if we could use a table on Wednesday nights. It's still considered public, but at least there'll be less people walking around. It's also relatively central. :D ;)

Being surrounded by gamers is fine - it's civilians I'm not so keen on.

I spoke to some of the staff. They normally don't have anything regular happening on Wednesday night. If you guys are ok, I can do a regular table booking for Wednesday nights.
