Maybe the coolest sourcebook ever. Any chance of making it available as pdf?

I would love to. Here's the problem: We have no digital files. We have printed copies of the book -- I think we even have the film from the printers -- but not the digital files of the layout or even the manuscript.

We've been working on a solution for this. In fact, a copy of Pax Dei has been sacrificed already in the effort...so far we have not gotten back a digital file. But it should be possible (whether or not it's affordable is a different question!).

If we do get a satisfactory arrangement, I'd like to make a whole range of ancient Ars titles available as PDFs -- Maleficium, Pax Dei, The Tempest, the original Covenants, etc. For now we must just wait and see.

Oh, don't get me started on covenants. They are the central characters of the game and sadly underrepresented. Make a new covenants book!!!!

Really? You certainly use the errata pulished in an old Redcap issue or I won't believe you are using the rules in this book.
