Ars Magica?

[Aisede]

I just learned about a TTRPG called Ars Magica. Do any of you know much about it? Is it played here?

It's affectionately called the game for people with not enough homework

also chatgpt does great virtues and flaws

I have been intrigued by that game for the longest time but never got around to play it, so I don't qualify as person who 'knows much about it'.
From my understanding, it's partly a simulation of the weal and woe of a covenant over a longish period (decades, generations), hence the 'homework' comment. The roleplay part (as far as I can tell) centers on politics between covenants and also securing places and sources of magical power. It all seems to demand some serious time investment over a long period and probably makes less sense for a one-shot (which is what rpgx tarets primarily).

The unique thing is the troupe style play, where every player has several characters (magi, companions and general supports (grogs)). This is useful when the mage is stuck in his room crafting a new spell for several months and unavailable for adventure.

If there's anyone with actual knowledge, please set me right.
