This method you describe here is the best of both worlds, and very much something I would love to see.

I just recently discovered your site, and besides agreeing with much of your political posts, your thoughts on a RM revision are very much in line with what I would love to see, combine the best of the 3 game systems ICE currently supports, here is hoping it happens one day. It helps that you seem to have the same idea of what the “best parts” are as myself. The game is in good hands.

Plus, there is a site that gives you what you need to hack the nook, making it more usable (of course, this voids warranty), allowing you to install other apps.

Plus the nook has a replacable battery, something the Kindle doesn’t have.

Although, if I remember correctly, you are in Canada, and that may limit purchase options for products for you.

Rolemaster X – Replace X with 3, 4 or 5, depending on what version number the current company feels is best. This would be the core system.

System Lines:
Character Law – Contains expanded and optional rules/stuff for characters.
Combat Law – (Renamed Arms Law, to be more clear what the product is) Contains expanded and optional rules/stuff for combat.
Magic Law – (Renamed Spell Law, because you might use an optional magic system that doesn’t have spells) Contains expanded and optional rules/stuff for magic.
Skill Law – Contains expanded and optional rules/stuff for skills.

Out of the Box – No, do not do this book. These are character options and belong in the character law line (Character Law 1, Character Law 2, etc. OR if preferred Character Law: Talents & Options, Character Law: Whatever etc.) Also, these do not necessarily have to boost the power level of the game, especially if such things are included in the core system, which I would hope they were – to be balanced from the start.

Rolemaster 20 – No, do not do this book. Simply include (divide by 5) in the core rulebook as an option to scale the math back and swap d20 for d100. Or do this as part of a Rolemaster X: Options line, but please don’t associate it with d20, which Xpress 20 does, at least to me.

Rolemaster Bestiary – (replaces creatures and treasures – along with RM Treasures below) This is broken into several books, there is no one “catch-all” because different worlds might contain different things.
Rolemaster Bestiary: Animals – Contains real world animals, rules for turning them all to “giant” versions, Fantastic Animals (non-earth, but still basically recognizable animals) etc.
RB: Dragons
RB: Demons & Angels
Others: Undead, Shapechanging Races, Giant Races, Underground Races, Other Planes, Elementals, etc.
Don’t bother with a “little-bit-of-everything” book.

Rolemaster Treasures – (replaces Creatures and Treasures & Treasure Companion) This contains magic items, gems, fantasy metals, etc.

Setting: I suppose you must have a “sterotypical” fantasy world, let Shadow World be that, but beyond that have several other lines that are unique and different, like Dark Sun for D&D was very different from sterotypical fantasy back when it was introduced, less so now. Have a human-centric setting or two. Have a human-less setting or two. Some high-fantasy, some low, some high magic, some low. So yes, do a standard world, but surprise us with some others as well.

Yeah, mostly small changes, but some nice ones IMHO.

I was a 32 Delta, and worked in the Tech Control both in Corozal and then up at Quarry Heights (first inside the tunnel and then at the building on the other side of the theater). I lived in the upper building, on the top floor.

Nice to hear from you!
