What the manager keeps

Everything a troupe writes down, kept in one place, and checked against the book.

Characters, by the book

Complete Fifth Edition creation for magi, companions, and grogs. Five hundred Virtues and Flaws, all twelve Houses, every budget balanced as you build. Or copy one of the core book’s own characters and make it yours.

The saga engine

Seasons turn on a shared calendar: an XP ledger that shows its work, aging and laboratories, house rules that travel, covenants with library, treasury, and household; and a chronicle that remembers every season.

The Table

When the troupe gathers: live dice that botch honestly, scenes to set, and chat in character, with the night’s rolls written into the chronicle.

The Sage

Ask your rules question in plain language. The answer comes back with chapter and verse. Cited to the page it came from, so you can check it yourself.

Mythic Europe, dated

Six hundred events of the Order and the mundane world, each with its source: a timeline to set your saga against, from the Founders to your own troupe’s era.

Beasts, familiars, and the lab

A bestiary of Mythic Europe’s animals, a builder for stranger creatures, familiars with their cords bound, and laboratories outfitted piece by piece.

Take up the practice.

An account is free, and your first magus is an evening's work. Or copy a canon one and be playing tonight.
