How do I know that #ArsMagica is a very international game?
Well, for the just-finished #crowdfunding campaign, it appears that more than 46% of our backers are outside the United States. I think for a US-based #TTRPG #kickstarter or the like, that's a pretty incredible number.

Summary: Our original plan and normal procedure is to print enough at once for both a crowdfunding campaign's fulfillment and a year or two of sales into distribution. If tariffs are imposed, I am confident we can still full the #ArsMagica Definitive campaign, but we may cancel retail release after.

I've been getting questions about the threat of 60%-100% tariffs, since our current plan is to print Ars Magica Definitive Edition in China.
At this point, I expect that it will not stop us from fulfilling this campaign as planned. We are aware of alternatives that we have explored in the past.

Only four days left in #ArsMagica Definitive Edition's crowdfunding campaign! We are closing in on the stretch goal of making a cloth map of Mythic Europe available, and the next goal is a bibliographical article for budding fantasy medievalists from @lollardfish.bsky.social. Please share the link!
