This Jump Start Kit is designed to introduce new players and storyguides to Ars Magica and start them playing with a minimum of preparation. This book includes pregenerated characters complete with detailed backgrounds and goals. It contains informative handouts to instruct first time players on how to read their character sheets, roll dice, cast spells, and wage combat. Finally, the story integrates elements of the original Stormrider Jump-Start Kit with new events, making it equally enjoyable for first time players and veterans of the original Stormrider scenario.
