I've heard a lot about Ars Magicka around here and I have to say I'm getting very intrigued. Is it still available? Who published it, and does anybody know if there's a Version available in the US?

Ars Magica arguably has the best magic system in an RPG game, and is definitely one of my Favorites. The "troupe" style of play and strong background are great as well.

It's latest incarnation is published by Atlas Games, and IMHO this is in general the best edition. They let you download the rules for free here:
