IC: Checking Out Rolemaster United

Any Rolemaster fans interested in playing around with the RMU playtest rules? The official set is supposedly dropping within the year and I'd love to get an early crack at the new charty goodness.

Yes, I was in a campaign on here that tried (and withered) so would be keen for it to go somewhere

Jhaelan, what's your preference on stats? I prefer rolling for them, but I'm open to stat buy.

I'd like to join in. I only looked at the first draft of RMU, so I really don't know what they've done with it since.

As for stats, I'm good with whatever gets used.

I was in the same playtest group as Jhaelan. I would be interested in trying again.

As for stats, I detest rolled stats. Too many times I've seen things end up so skewed from one player to the next, like the equivalent of one character (good rolls) having +3 free ranks in every skill compared to another (bad rolls). Fortunately, it doesn't tend to get more extreme than that, though it could. But even there it's like one is several levels ahead of the other, and catching up doesn't happen for a long time.

Either stats method is ok with me

I played MERP long time ago and never made it to full RM. If you don't mind me trying out the system I'd love to join in as well.

I would be interested. I downloaded the playtest stuff but have yet to read any of it and it has been many years since I played any Rolemaster, so it might take me some time to get re-familiarized.

Cool. Looks like there are several of us. Make sure you look here for updated charts:

I think I would be interested in playtesting the next version as well.

All right, I'll get the threads up in the next couple days.

As for setting, I have a good number of the Shadow World books (I'd just have to dig them out of my closet), or would a different setting be preferred?
