 | | Ars Magica was originally written by Jonathan Tweet (who wrote the 3E player's handbook) and Mark Reign*Hagen. |
 | | The developers at WW decided to turn Ars into the "back-history" of the world of darkness, in in doing so introduced a bunch of utterly boneheaded ideas into Ars, and stuck massive numbers of demons everywhere in the books in an attempt to make Ars "darker" to boost sales. |
 | | WW essentially tried to turn Ars into what Mage: Sorcerer's Crusade is. M:SC is a good prequel to the WoD, much better than a compromised Ars, and a good game in its own right, bur has a very different feel from Ars Magica. |
