As in you feel that they're paying for heavy ads/placement within DriveThru?

Just a quick note that, amazingly, the replies right now are just the exact right number such that nearly every single percentage is working out to a whole number with no decimals (the only exception is the % of those who have played), and even the GPA is exact to a single decimal place (at 2.5...

Thanks Tim! Huh, that's interesting... that in taking all the purpose-built versions and smushing them together into a single book as a toolkit has perhaps made it feel bland/generic. I guess especially if someone new comes to it and doesn't immediately recognize (and personally I don't think...

I do very much remember seeing plenty of adds for all the ICE games in magazines back in the day. That's part of what had me wonder if it would be less well known in the poll, whether it was only 'old guard' who would remember it (and would they be the only ones looking in this forum/thread :p)...

Silly me, in my last post I should have linked to this database of fan-made games: (Included on the list is "Giant Corporate Owned Comics Heroic Roleplaying" as an MHR clone if superheroes are your thing.)

That is one of the big missings right now with Prime, with only one prebuilt campaign being sold (Tales of Xadia) and the rest no longer available due to licensing reasons. Fortunately many people have posted their builds for all manner of genres, and hopefully the Spotlight books (each with...

For myself, I unabashedly love the Cortex Prime system. Pretty much every single game/campaign I think of running these days I would run in one of three systems, and Cortex Prime is one of them (D&D is another, for D&D games, with my own system being the third). I first gave Cortex Plus a try...

Have you played or run the Cortex Plus or Cortex Prime system? Have you played one of the many licensed games that were released, or did you pick up a system core book and run a campaign of your own? If so, what did you think of it? The original Cortex system (now called Cortex Classic) was...

After a second "Hate..." vote, we're back down to a solid C+. :) What has been cool to me that it hasn't (yet!) received any "Never Heard Of" votes. While Rolemaster is for sure one of the classics, I wondered if it had faded into the past or faded into the background enough that it was no...

(Pulls book of shelf) You're right, it is by Monte Cook. I hadn't realized/remembered that. :) (The setting really wasn't my cup of tea though, so I haven't looked at it in years.)

If there's one thing going for it, the high 'random' lethality factor of RM/SM kinda works in a cyberpunk genre game. Not that I played the rules however, so perhaps it didn't gel or was undertested as you note. I'd bought it to use as additional source material for the cyberpunk campaigns we...

Though it might have been one of the first RPGs I heard someone describing, D&D was not the first RPG I played. It would be three years later when one of my friends in my gaming group began running D&D, and even then I resisted. But as we got into it (merging with another group), I let that go...

Win/win/win/win here, I'm sure. ;)

I can imagine that something as intricate as RM would "live or die" by the GM's familiarity (or lack thereof). Floundering through the system can suck all the air out of the experience. Now I'm trying to come up with the most humorous misinterpretation possible... ;)

Oh that's neat! Sorry that it didn't work out... I very much dug the art as well, on the whole I found it very evocative, some of which really have stuck in my mind over the years. A good number of the vehicle designs by Paul Yeh were also very cool. I'd almost forgotten about Silent Death...

For myself, I have not played Rolemaster, though I almost ran some Spacemaster (as a Robotech campaign) back in the early 90’s. Or I might have run one session before something interrupted the campaign, but if I did I don’t remember enough about it so I voted that I have not played it. Which...

Have you played or run the Rolemaster/Spacemaster system? Did you play one of its offshoots such as MERP or Cyberspace? If so, what did you think of it? Rolemaster and Spacemaster by Iron Crown Enterprises are complex and intricate RPGs that cover the fantasy and sci-fi genres, respectively...

Cool! I will have to give that a shot sometime. Thanks! :)
