This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Any Rolemaster updates?

Anyone have the inside scoop on Rolemaster?  I haven't heard about them for ages, nor the beta of the new edition.

They've been working on it, it's going slow.  Eight years ago when I was involved in the early beta discussions, the management wanted it out within the year.  ICE's got their website back up.  Really, I think HARP is their higher priority.  After all, RM2 and RMSS pdfs can be sold, as can new Shadow World content.  There's really a strong chance that the new edition won't unite the fans and will just further divide them.

Last report was that they had the "Rolemaster Unified" Arms Law & Character Law edited and in pretty firm shape, and were moving on to Spell Law.

I wonder how much of their thunder is going to get stolen by Against the Darkmaster.
