Its not even on the top ten of most-played rpgs.I like Over the Edge a great deal. Its also a highly unpopular game, with a very small fan base.It was also written by one of the creators of D&D 3.0 (Jonathan Tweet). And yet, you don't see me trying to find any kind of tenuous link possible, and ignoring the glaring differences, to say that D&D is "based on Over the Edge".I also referred to RM as a rules-bloated monstrosity. It is. It doesn't mean that people can't like it. There have always been gamers who prefer the rules-bloated monstrosities, and gamers who prefer bare-bones rules-lite games, and everything in between. If you like, take it as an insult to RM, not to the people who play it... again, except those people who stubbornly insist on ignoring reality by trying to claim that D&D is based on Rolemaster, when THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED D&D SAY IT ISN'T.Nisarg</blockquote>
