You may be laughing now, but I bet that if any of you tried to play Rolemaster for any length of time, your 2 and 3-digit arithmetic skills would improve significantly. Call me an elitist if you want, but it's a fact that I never get shortchanged at the cash register any more. I doubt Harn has...

If you're looking for something that goes beyond traditional fantasy, you might check out Shadow World. It's for Rolemaster, but it's well-done and you should be able to convert it fairly easily. Some DMs have already done part of the work (prestige classes, etc.) In any even, it has its roots...
