Schedule
Grand Tribunal 2009 Schedule [Edit]
It is far too early to give details but we anticipate that, like the past two Grand Tribunal Ars Magica conventions, there will be discussions about running and playing in Ars Magica games, opportunities to talk to some of the authors of Ars Magica books, a freeform game or two and plenty of table top games.
It is up to you to prepare and volunteer to run games.
10th December 2008 [Edit]
We have three offers to run freeform interactive games. Andrew, Mark and CJ have all volunteered!
15th December [Edit]
Here are the introductions to Mark's game and to Andrew's game, just to whet your appetite!

An Invitation to Dinner [Edit]
A Freeform set in the world of Ars Magica, Mythic Europe.
The Lord Mortain has invited the scholars from Flavius Valerius to dinner as his guests. As Flavius Valerius stands on land which is nominally Lord Mortian's, no doubt they will attend. Word has spread and others also gather for there is a sense of something in the wind. Around him the Lord has his few knights and principal retainers, but what of the scholars and other visitors to his hall? This is just dinner but it may well be an interesting evening's dinner.
The setting is a Lord's Manor in Mythic Europe, at a first glance much like Medieval Europe but the fay are real, there really are legendary powerful wizards closeted away in remote towers and beasts of legend walk the remoter parts.
Players will take the parts of the Lord and a handful of his retainers and the various visiting 'Scholars', but scholar in Mythic Europe is a good cover for Magi, and a few other interesting souls who are at dinner for various reasons. This is primarily a social event.
The games is for around a dozen to nineteen (maximum) players. Pre sign-up it advised, as this makes casting easier, however there is some flexibility for folks to show up on the day but character choice could be quite limited in that case.

The Second Tribunal [Edit]
A systemless freeform for fifteen players.
It is now 770, three years since the formation of the Order. Trianoma has decided that the Founders should have one final meeting together before followers and filii swear the Oath. All of the Founders have wizards waiting to be members of their nascent Houses, but it has been generally - though not unanimously - agreed that the Founders have a few matters that they must settle among themselves. Trianoma has invited two non-Hermetic wizards to attend the meeting: Limarron and Dwaemir (who is the oldest surviving apprentice of Guorna the foetid).
