[QUOTE="Hurin70, post: 9259997, member: 6875491"] 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, [I]Treasure Law[/I], just released on DriveThruRpg literally today: [URL]https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/470221/Rolemaster-Treasure-Law-RMU[/URL] The Rolemaster community (at least the one on the official forums and the Discord channels) is in no way 'locked into a completely unnecessary civil war between different tastes of RoleMaster rules.' There are different editions (the main ones being RM1/2, RMSS/FRP, and now RMU). But the communities are nowhere near as split as DnD communties were by 4e (no one did a Pathfinder on Rolemaster), and I honestly can't even remember the last time there was anything like an edition war on the ICE forums. So I honestly don't know where those comments were coming from? Some of the Rolemaster adventures are 30 years old now, so yes, they are showing their age. But the Middle Earth adventures (which were statted first and foremost for Rolemaster back when ICE had the Tolkien license) are still very expensive on Ebay and coveted as treasures crafted with love by absolute Tolkien geeks. All of which is just to say: maybe next month do Rolemaster? The new edition has now released most of its main books ([I]Core Law[/I], [I]Spell Law[/I], and [I]Treasure Law[/I], with Creature Law nearing completion as well). If anyone is interested, I can easily get you in touch with Colin (the ICE marketing guru) or Jonathan Dale (the line editor). [/QUOTE]
