Director's Briefing - October 2025

[NicholasHMCaldwell]

Welcome

To the one hundred-and-seventy-first Briefing and tenth scheduled Briefing of 2025.

AutoHARP

David has been working overtime on AutoHARP. He has fixed various bugs and chased various talents into the databases. Professions from Folkways, Beyond The Veil and Subterfuge should now work with the NPC Generator and Bestiary Overlays should now work with more monsters. AutoHARP3 Fantasy, Martial Law, College of Magics, Folkways, Beyond the Veil, Subterfuge, Bestiary and Fantasy Architect are now all on version 3.04. Please do download the updated datasets at your convenience.

Rolemaster and Foundry VTT

Bob Morris has made excellent progress with preparing RMU for Foundry VTT. Colin and I have seen his slide deck showing the look and feel of the conversion, and it is impressive. Bob has completed the work on the Core Law element which in the Foundry platform means it is both the game system and the Core Law digital book. He has also completed Spell Law and Creature Law as Foundry native modules. Most of the conversion work for Treasure Law has been completed. Fingers crossed that the remainder will go smoothly so that all four RMU core rulebooks in Foundry form can be released in November.

HARP and Rolemaster

I was distracted by an editing pass on a minimodule (No Good Deed by Thomas Pugh). That's now back with its author for some additional material to be added and some corrections to be made.

Nick has completed a first layout pass on Banecroft: The Mage's Tale. This is a short adventure module so a headsup now that it will only make sense to release it in pdf and softcover formats.

Until next time

Please stay safe and keep gaming.

Best wishes,
Nicholas
