Site Map

At a Glance

Contains general information and introductory material.

• What is Magi? -- This is a good place to start if it's your first time to the site. It explains the purpose of the site and provides a bit of background.
• Dimensions of Gameplay -- This outlines the framework of Magi (from the perspective of game mechanics), along with a discussion of why this approach was chosen.
• Concepts Overview -- Each subheading in this section talks about a significant aspect of the game, most of which are major departures from tradition, and why that part of the game is designed in that way. This will help give a general idea of what it would be like to play Magi.

Game Dimensions

This section provides an introduction to each of the game's nine "dimensions" and tried to give an idea of how it would work in the game. Additional, more specific information pertaining to each of these aspects of the game are accessible from the pages.

Races

This section provides information about the various races that populate Aerynth. They are grouped according to the primary "dimension" each of the races occupies (although most races have access to several). This section will only offer detail on intelligent races. Keep in mind that not all intelligent races would necessarily be playable.

Game Mechanics

This section discusses the mechanics of Magi in greater detail, occasionally delving into the mathematics of the game engine.

• Attributes --  This lists the various character attributes of the game and what they do.
• Skills -- This lists the various skills characters in the game can learn, and what they are used for.
• Luck -- An in-depth examination of the concept of luck, and how it works in Magi.
• Character Generation -- Rules and math defining what kinds of characters players can start with, and what kinds they can't.
  • Archetypes -- Character templates, following the rules of character generation, provided for those who would rather move straight into the game.
• Character Advancement -- Detailed discussion of learning and improvement of a character in the game and how it comes about.
• Combat -- Describes the myriad game mechanics invoked to cover combat situations.
• Formulae -- All formulae used in other sections will be added to this master list, with a short description of each.

History & Lore

This section contains information about the world of Magi and its history.

• Armory -- List of equipment and items in the game, and how additional ones can be generated randomly.
• Bestiary -- Lists and describes various creatures that inhabit the world.
• Timeline -- Master timeline of the world's history up to the present time.

  • Great Magus Avegnor -- The most powerful Magus known to history, whose prophesy foretold of a great Magus to come.
• Future History -- I would put "SPOILER" over this section in huge letters, but since there are currently no plans to actually build the game, it probably doesn't matter. This section contains ideas for how the metaplot might develop once people actually start playing the game.
