FYI for interested parties, I've posted my Ars Magica Solitaria rules here: Ars Magica Solitaria - Solo Playing Rules
I posted this here a few months ago, but I'll try again... The examples in the earlier versions of these solo rules of the solitary life of Darius of Flambeau really helped. Were they omitted from 4.5 for a reason?
They were omitted because different writers explain things in various ways. The original example style was used because that’s the way I think. Also it allowed me to tie into the ARM core book better.
