Does anybody else still play Rolemaster and/or MERP?
>>98176758yup. 2e rolemaster is better than merp - but the middle earth modules are generlly coded for both.it's the best fantasy system hands down.
>>98176758Seems terrible, especially MERP. Just use The One Ring.
>>98178130But The One Ring already is a terrible system that's only saved by its Middle-Earth flavor..
>>98178130Fuck MERP and fuck The One RingUse GURPS
>>98176758>men in dressesWoke game.
>womanWoke game.
>>98176758Theoretically if someone can tell me how to nuke mold from a book without damaging the pages.
Against the Darkmaster.It's merp with numbers files out.
>>98179747How so?
>>98182823Poorly organized core rulebook with extensive errors in its first print.The d12+xd6 dice pool system has nice flavor, with its Eye of Sauron and Gandalf faces, but makes it very hard to gauge chance of success.Extensive use of D&D 4e-style skill challenges with the same math issues and mid-edition errata that completely tilts their balance. (The last council we went through needed 9 successes on 6 rolls under the errata instead of on 11 rolls with first printing rules)General on-rails feeling where player-heroes can't really do things outside the scope of the system. For example, I tried to a second pony, either for myself or to give it to another PC. You simply can't do that RAW. You can only have one mount and it's tied to your own standard of living. Similarly, you can't just give player-heroes a magical item, they have to buy a sort of feat ("rewards") to unlock each of their actual effects. The travel system has things like making "ill choices", but the system consists purely of random rolls based on your chosen role and its associated skill.I'm playing it with a bunch of LotR nerds right now and am having a lot of fun, but it's because of them and not the system.
>>98176758It's fake OSR. Anti-gygaxian. Just play ACKS
>>98183243It's a game from 1980, it was way more claim to being OSR than ACKS
>>98183243>>98183281Oh shut up you stupid niggers.
>>98183243>fishfag false flagging>>98183281>and samefaggingPathetic
OSR fags regularly shit on other old RPGs as being aberrations or some other gay shit, and deserve to be raped
The new shit is available on Foundry VTT. Thoughts?
>>98183385OP here, proof in picture. I love both OSR games and Rolemaster.This one >>98183243 who brought up OSR and ACKS out of the blue is a specific autist troll known as fishfag, who has a rage boner against /osrg/ and ACKS and who makes false flags in hopes to get people angry at the OSR. Don't fall for it.
>>98183403Can you tell us about it? Or at least provide a link to a WRITTEN review or a product presentation? No YouTube faggotry please.
>>98183339I'm not a samefag
>>98183216>but makes it very hard to gauge chance of success.How so? I mean, second ed even has fixed success values. Seems easy as hell to eyeball. Perhaps too easy, actually.>You can only have one mount and it's tied to your own standard of living.It depends on the Standard of Living and their Treasure, actually - prosperous characters would probably have money for another (scruffier?) pony, as they can help another PC with shit like that in the description. I know you don't have a price list of things but that seems tolkienian enough to me.Note that in first edition Laketown offers a (simplified) treasure to coin conversion: a tresaure point would be around one gold point, and 1 gold piece = 20 silver pennies, 240 copper coins.Prices in Laketown and Dale:1 old, or half-starved pony 3s-4s1 healthy pony 8s-10s1 draught horse 10s-20s1 riding horse 1g1 war horse 2g-4g1 cow 8s1 pig 2s1 sheep 1s2 chickens 1c
>>98183534>How so? I mean, second ed even has fixed success values. Seems easy as hell to eyeball. Perhaps too easy, actually.It's not easy to eyeball. Especially not when combined with skill endeavors and the like.>It depends on the Standard of Living and their Treasure, actuallySoL is tied to your treasure rating.
