Default Re: Questions about Illwinter, the company

My personal favourite is undoubtedly Ars Magica. The setting is unbeatable, at least if you have a historical interest. There is an endless amount of material on the world, although some historical facts are harder to come by, and every one is familiar with it. The mythical setting, a great magic system and a campaign oriented gaming style makes the game a true pearl. I often dislike the way religions are represented in games (I work as a teacher in religion), but Ars Magica avoids the problem by using a mythical Version of our history. Complete with christianity, heretics and heathens.

Other old favourites are Powers and Perils, Earth Dawn, and various swedish games, particulary the latest Version of "Drakar och Demoner" which has a nice touch of swedish folk lore and old Norse history and mythology (Johan Karlson is a strong AD & D fan).

I'm also quite fond of historical boardgames such as Great Battles of Alexander, SPQR and Imperium Romanum. Unfortunately I have spent less and less time playing these games.
