Default Ars Magica!

It'd be sweet to combine Dominions with Ars Magica in a pen-and-paper game.

I think it would work as well or better than any other system, since there are definite similarities and plenty of opportunities for crossover (gems translate easily into vis, etc., magic users have the same function and level of importance, the various creatures and races of Dominions would go very well in the Ars Magica campaign setting, since they're based on real-world myths, and Ars Magica is set in actual (magical) midieval Europe.), and what Dominions doesn't do as well as it could, Ars Magica does very well indeed (magic system), without both existing on different planets.

Infact, I'd pay whatever hourly wages Kristoffer is making as a teacher and Johan is making as a programmer just to get them both to sit down and read the last 3 editions of the Ars Magica rulebook and the best of the various suppliments. I'd even buy the books.

I think they'd be a revelation, since Ars Magica is such a polished product and Dominions is so close to Ars Magica in "feel".

Then again, I'm very poor, so perhaps not.
