I've had a look at bits of Guardians of the Forest, the Ars Magica book about the Rhine Tribunal (and thus the basis of the campaign I'm currently playing in).

Phillipus Niger is the Chuck Norris of the Rhine Tribunal.

ETA: We ran into him in the last session of Whitewash before we stopped for term. He's more like the old wise martial arts master who looks fairly inoffensive (he's about 100) and then kills you with the POWER OF HIS MIND.

He's still pretty cool, though. :)

I like our Friday evening Ars Magica game because

(a) we are FIGHTING CRIME in the Rhine Tribunal, and it is fun,
(b) trying to figure out the most ridiculous and yet still appropriate time to say "give us all your vis" is always fun (thank you Dave),
(c) it's the kind of game where you can geek about Latin and discuss what declension "vis" actually is,
(d) Dave, Nick, Chess and Edith are great fun to RP with, and Tristan is a cool GM,
(e) did I mention FIGHTING CRIME?
(f) also the ethics of erasing your own memory after you committed a crime came up in the last session, and that still has me thinking about it,
(g) some day I am going to get a chance to slam my hands on the table IC and yell "OBJECTION!", I hope. :)

(For reference, "vis" is one of four irregular nouns in the third declension.)
