List of Games
The Freeforms
The freeform is traditionally the first game played on Saturday morning, and involves almost everyone. This year in a break from tradition we have two freeforms, and you are welcome to play in both, one or neither. In a freeform game you dress up and act out your role, moving around the room. This is a lot of fun, and rather rules light!
- The Opening Event is CJ's Freeform 1215 & All That.."; Celebrating Magna Carta as it could have been!
- Saturday Afternoon had Mark Steedman's An Invitation to Dinner that first ran at Cambridge in 2009.

General resources
- Free bulk printing service : Double-sided A4 and booklet colour laser printing done in advance for anyone running a game.
- Media:Arm5-template-characters.pdf : Five template characters taken directly from the Ars Magica 5th Edition ruleset. Includes Bjornaer, Bonisagus, Flambeau, Merinita and Tytalus. The Bonisagus template has been tweaked from the ruleset original, in order to act as a healer. One character per 2 sides of A4. The second side is optional and merely includes a detailed summary of what each of the characters' spells do. These are low-level characters, ideal for introductory games or beginner players, or as fall-back pre-generated characters for use in short games, such as at conventions. Compiled and edited by Andrew Oakley for Ars Magica Grand Tribunal UK convention 2012.
- Also available is Media:Arm5-template-characters.doc , the editable Microsoft Word document that is the source for the PDF.
- Media:Arm5-simple-character-sheet.pdf : Pitt Murman's excellent simplified Ars Magica 5th Edition blank character sheet. Compressed down to two sides of A4, this not only saves paper, but is easier to navigate around than the 4-page official character sheets.
