Hi all, Rather than keep posting in this older thread ( Rolemaster Unified Releasing December 3rd ), I thought I'd start a new one for updates on Rolemaster publications. All are available on DriveThruRPG. The new version of Rolemaster, Rolemaster Unified (RMU for short), has been rolling out...

Yes, Spell Law is definitely there. There is also the 4 core bundle (Core Law, Spell Law, Creature Law, Treasure Law) as well. Look for 'RMU 4coreFoundry [Bundle]'. So yes, it is most definitely there. Spell Law was the second RMU book published.

I can confirm that the Foundry module is excellent. It automates much of the game and is constantly being improved (new lighting module just this week for example).

That's awesome! My one bit of important advice for them is this: Core Law presents two different options for how to handle the action economy, and another two for how to handle player movement. While all the options are roughly compatible, two options are much easier for first-time players to...

It is in the publication pipeline, after Character Companion (I'm not exactly sure where Arcane Companion will fit into that pipeline though). Creature Law I has all the basic creatures, and is quite comprehensive, so we do have enough to play. But Creature Law II will have both the...

I think then that you were playing Rolemaster Standard System (RMSS for short). That's the second main incarnation of the game (the first being RM1 and RM2, very similar editions commonly just called RM2). The big news is the publication of RMU, the third main edition of the game. It is an...

It was a system tailor made for VTTs. All that time spent looking up charts? Now done by computer. Tracking of conditions? Computer. Looking up modifiers? Done by computer. The Foundry module is amazingly well done too.

You do? Because their management of the D&D videogames has been a trainwreck for over a decade, and even their successes (BG3) were ones they had to have pitched to them twice before they saw the potential.

Can you explain a bit more clearly how Armor Class and Shields work? I am especially interested in that, now that they are folding Kinetic and Energy resistance into one.

Looks good, though seems a bit more fantasy than I expected.

Yet we all know this is going to happen eventually: both the BG4 and it being bad and blowing up in their face.

Very excited to see a game with the 2e ruleset. Very unexcited by the cartoony graphics. I'm wondering why Paizo couldn't get a more established developer to make this game? I mean, they're not WotC, but the PF license is nothing to sneeze at. When WotC farmed out their license to lesser-known...

It's like WotC never learns. They farmed D&D out to obscure developers for years, with terrible results. Then they hit gold with an established developer. So, what do they do next? I am almost certain they will go with another obscure developer and we will be back where we started, with awful...

Not really a fan of the completely impractical bits of metal armor. Staff and magical effects are nice.

I have no idea what the animus against Rolemaster is (note it is Rolemaster, not RoleMaster). The new edition of Rolemaster just came out. In fact one of the books, Treasure Law, just released on DriveThruRpg literally today...
