Interest in an Ars Magica Game?

Hi all, I've run a few Roll20 games over the years, including all of the last three editions of D&D, and I'm now hoping to find a group interested in playing some Ars Magica 5e. My hope would be to have a very newbie-friendly game, where early sessions would focus on creating characters and the Covenant together and facilitating learning about the setting and rules in a supportive environment for any new players. Happy to field any questions here or talk through possibilities--would love a group of 3-5 before launching. My main play times are after 9pm EST with possible flex on which day/how often. Talk to you soon!

been a long time since i played Ars Magica, i didn't even realize there was a fifth edition
I might very well be interested in this, depending on the day!
P., what days would work best for you? As I said, I have some flexibility around timing.
Grumblecakes, it's been sitting on a back burner for me for a few years now waiting for the right time, and they announced a 5e Definitive publication for later this year to close out the line in a good place--5e actually encapsulates the best stuff from the first 3 editions and jettisons a lot of the clunkier stuff that 4e leaned into.

I'm interested. I know the game, and have been making characters for fun but never got to play. Got ideas for a Magus, and Companion/Grogs which would obviously depend on the setting and other players' choices. Edit: Are you thinking about a troupe-style play or single storyguide group?
Thanks for your interest, FBL! I don't have any preconceptions, and a lot would depend on the composition of the group. If it were mostly raw newbies, it might make sense to start as a single storyguide for a year or two (in-game) and then shift into a troupe style as folks got comfortable--or have it be semi-troupe style from the start, or full-on troupe. I'm very flexible.
Bumping this--other folks interested? I'm hoping to confirm an initial lineup by the end of the weekend.
