Title: Director's Briefing - RMU Beta 2
Post by: NicholasHMCaldwell on June 17, 2015, 10:59:26 AM

Welcome to the forty-ninth Briefing and the first unscheduled Briefing of 2015.

Rolemaster Beta 1

Rolemaster Beta 1 is now over. We have locked the first beta playtesting boards on the ICE forums and these are now read-only.

Rolemaster Beta 2

It has arrived.

Spell Law and Creature Law now have new discussion boards on the ICE forums. You will find a playtester legal agreement post on each board and if you agree to abide by the playtester agreement, then you can proceed to download the relevant pdf.

As indicated in the June Briefing, these pdfs have not had the benefit of the layout gurus, so please no comments or criticisms on the layout. We want your comments on the content only and we want you playtesting the revised rules as written. If you are currently running a Beta 1 playtest, please upgrade to Beta 2 asap.

Sign-in threads to capture playtester names for the roll of honour have been established as have typo capture threads for the inevitable spelling errors and linguistic infelicities.

Arms & Character Law will be appearing in the next day or two once final assembly into pdf has been accomplished. The complete draft ofTreasure Law has arrived, has already received an editing pass, has been returned to Dan for his corrections, has received those corrections and now just needs final assembly into a pdf. I expect it will be available next week.

Now get reading and playtesting!

Until next time

Expect a scheduled Briefing around the start of July.

Best wishes,
Nicholas

Director, Guild Companion Publications Ltd

Can I ask, what are the contents of RMU Treasure Law likely to cover? Will there be new character classes and such, as well as lists of treasure and item creation rules?  Or is it the case that it can't be announced yet?

I'm quite excited about the inclusion of this within RMU.

So, I'm trying to figure out the current state of things.  I see a new RM Beta testing but the dates are five years old.  Is this ongoing?  Or is this an old web site no longer active.

Very old thread you posted in. Development has gone slower than we wanted, but if you read the most recent director's briefing http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?topic=19843.0 (http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?topic=19843.0) you'll see that the manuscript for the core RMU book has been edited by Nicholas and is close to being completed. The other books are still in editing, but we are much closer to the end of the tunnel.
