One thing that used to frustrate me about the Ars was the density and distribution of the rules and so on. This would often slow down a game session or cause the wrong outcome, as after lots of page flipping we just guess or misread. This was especially annoying as my style is to focus on the story and try to make all the mechanics seamless.
A few years ago, mainly for use within my Aegen campaign, I summarized most of the core books' rules, tables, and general information. I have not summarized the setting, background or scenario material.
These are now being published (under open license) as 14-15 mini-topic books on DriveThruRPG over the next month or so, for a $1. Please note they do contain house rules.
The first five are now live:
- Combat and Recovery
- Magic and the Laboratory
- Magic Defences and Twilight
- The Faerie Realm
- Interacting with People
Edit - A few more
And more.... (5 dec)
