This week Bundle of Holding is offering a chance to get a number of fine games on pdf, and also help good causes. One of those games is Ars Magica 5th edition, and the next Bundle of Hodling which goes up on Tuesday March 4th 2014 will make a number of 4th edition Ars Magica rpg supplements available.

In this special episode of Arcane Connection CJ and Tom discuss useful stuff for people trying out the game for the first time through this offer, where to find help and resources in learning the game, and the compatability of 4th ed supplements with the 5th ed rules - (high!).

In the last 5 minutes they return to normal topics, with reference to Hooks, Faith & Flame: Provence and a new issue of Sub Rosa.
