AND read the books. Most of them.

Also "wah, RM is HURD, too many rules/tables".

Most rules are OPTIONAL. Most mean you die at the drop of a hat, if you play as most AD&D players do. It's a ROLE play system, not a ROLL play system. Decisions you make, not the rolled dice, mean survival or death. Ok, the rolled die define the SPECIFICS of how bad you die, but there.

Most advanced format of RM is level-less, mostly table-less.

In fairness, there are two general attitudes towards hobbits, in the whole of Eä:
1- you ignore them
2- you despise them to any applicable degree

A hobbit in your group is *GUARANTEED* to get you in trouble, constantly pester you for attention and/or food, and unduly call attention at the worst possible moments, as well as wreak havoc out of sheer boredom and curiosity

Yesterday I played role-playing games with a bunch of strangers and it was fun!

A random post on Mastodon caught my attention (thanks hashtags!) and I signed up for the game.

Although I've played a lot of #RPG over the years, especially #rolemaster in the 90s and #DungeonWorld in the 2000s, I haven't played much in the last 10+ years.

This was a great way to get back into it - no campaign pressure, no long character generation, just an old-fashioned bit of dungeon-crawling and monster-bashing with #DCCRPG and it's unusual dice system.

We played in a local social club - right alongside a bunch of old ladies playing bridge and asking us to keep it down.

Thanks again to @davej and Walter's Burly Griffins for the invite.

New Against The Darkmaster Bundle

This is a modern retroclone of Middle Earth Roleplaying from ICE, aka MERP

I used to love #MERP so I'm super curious about this refresh.

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/Darkmaster

#Rolemaster #OSR

1. First #TTRPG ever played: Holmes Basic D&D
2. First you ever ran? Holmes Basic D&D
3. Played the most? #Rolemaster very likely, not something I'm proud of 😜
4. Run the most? Has to be either #ADnD2e or #Shadowrun2e
5. Favourite? Probably #Shadowrun
6. Most recently played? #Shadowdark
7. Most recently run? #MazeRats

I GMed for years before I had a chance to actually be a player.

#MERP OK - #Rolemaster was more our thing. #TTRPG

Now in version 2.0 😁

Dann hätte ich noch 2x #RoleMaster weiterzugeben:

This is now a #Rolemaster only account. Do not toot at me about GURPS, Hârn, or Runequest!

@Jackgiantkiller most of #Rolemaster suggested campaigns on Middle Earth are either within SA or FA (4th), so as not to fall in the "everyone wants to interfere with #LotR storyline" factor.

Some of the most brutal (and mind ya, it's Rolemaster) campaigns are Fourth Age aftermath of LotR. The Northern lands, in particular, abound with forgotten terrors.

I recall, a while ago, introducing #RoleMaster to a friend who's sort of a tech dweeb. He was unimpressed by the relatively lengthy process of creating a character.

Context: Rolemaster has HUNDREDS (maybe thousands, who is counting, anyways) of skills, in a VERY detailed progression system. All rules optional, but they are there.

So, usually creating a character, AFTER you defined them notionally (personality, mindset, physical traits, etc) takes about an hour or so, fleshing out the initial "gimme" bonus childhood/apprenticeship levels and skills. This, on paper and pencil.

So, he set out to do the ONLY sensible thing: write his own electronic character sheet. Naturally.

That took just over THREE HOURS, and both delayed the start of the game itself, ate over half of the extended gaming session, and distracted him from the point of #TTRPG gaming, which is to be engrossed in a narrative and its development, etc.

Oy vey

I don't know why I assumed that Iron Crown Enterprises, creators of Middle Earth Roleplaying game and #Rolemaster was not only still a going concern but had updated, unified versions of their core rules and I will just see y'all sometime next spring.

Hm, hmm.

#TTRPG #Rolemaster

@zorrobandito the partly released #rolemaster unified is really great, played beta for a few years and now migrating to release.

It's really a good modern version of RM, making gameplay more streamlined without missing the core values of classic rolemaster.

(Art sucks in these new books, sad but true, but it's not the art that you are playing...)

Highly recommend it 😁

I've dabbled with table-top role-playing games over the years, playing a lot in the 80s and 90s . I have some great memories of adventures with friends - but I've struggled with the time commit required from a GM.

One of my favourite systems was #Rolemaster. After a few games of D&D in mid-80s highschool, we switched to the way more technical Rolemaster and, with a genius-level DM, we played the hell out of that system.

I read that Rolemaster is stagnating and that another system, Against the Darkness, had picked up the mantle, leaving behind the legacy debt to a splintered fanbase.

Anyone had any experience?

Worst part of being a #DM in a #tabletoprpg is when you plot out the upcoming session and you REALLY get inspired, YOU CAN'T TELL ANYONE!! #ForeverDM #rpg #rolemaster #rolemasterunified #shadowworld #eyesofutha

@trantion :: twitches to memories of #Rolemaster #ShadowWorld #Kulthea campaigns ::

@CatDad counterpoint.

ALL rules are guidelines, and playing #MERP or #Rolemaster WITHOUT tables (set threshold for failure, degrees of success) and level-less is not only possible, but actually fun.

YMMV, FWIW, ABABTU, NGGYUNGLYD

@deinol @hackshack @TabletopBellhop

I understand your position. Character generation is highly procedural for this game.

That's why I made a Windows PC NPC generator for RMU.
7 clicks, and you are done.

Hi I just got here so it's time to do one of these #introduction posts. I suck at these things.

So, Hi, I'm Nitebytes (Nite if you want), I'm 49 and late diagnosed (as in 2022 diagnosed) Autism and ADHD and that explains the side order of Ace/Enby I'm carrying. It all makes so much more sense after a lifetime of behaving 'like I was supposed to' and pretending to be 'normal' while thinking I was broken or an alien.

I play games (PC and tabletop), I like aircraft (especially warbirds), I play bass and drums (yes I'm in a band), and I dabble in archery when time and health allow.

I should probably add some hashtags, but I'm not entirely sure.

Here come the hashtags:

#ActuallyAutistic #ADHD #AuDHD #Spoonie #Disabled #Atheist #Ace #Asexual #Dyslexic

#Netflix #sci-fi #StarTrek #Stargate #StarWars #NordicNoir

#ProgRock #ClassicRock #IndieRock #Eclectic #Eurovision

#Archery #Sailing

#TTRPGs #DandD #D20 #Rolemaster

#VideoGames #ForzaHorizon #EliteDangerous #FlightSim #CrimsonSkies

If you vibe with any/some/all of that, please say hi. :)
