Saga Pack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saga Pack is a supplement published by Lion Rampant in 1990 for the fantasy role-playing game Ars Magica.
Saga Pack is a set of gamemaster's aids for the second edition of Ars Magica, including a gamemaster's screen, and 24 loose-leaf pages that outline 16 pregenerated characters, guidelines for role-playing, and also provides more information about the Code of Hermes.[1]
The three-panel gamemaster's screen has tables of information on the gamemaster's side that include a summary of melee and ranged weapons and their effects, armor, spellcasting penalties and distractions, combat maneuvers and phases, movement factors, interactions with various Powers, difficulty factors, and healing.[2] A continuous piece of artwork by Michael Weaver covers all three panels on the player's side.
Eight pages of loose-leaf sheets are designed to be cut on half, with pregenerated "grogs" (fighters) detailed on the front and back of each page.[2] The remaining eight double-sided sheets cover the limits of Hermetic magic, the typical life of a grog, the Code of Hermes, the history of the Order of Hermes, and the art of gamemastering and storytelling.[2]
