YES!

Where do we go to find it?  DriveThru?  Or will it be on the web site?

Do we have a time of release?  Is that in GMT?

Dragonmeet opens at 9 am UTC in London...so if we have not jinxed things with our questions, that sounds like a plausible time for things to be released at DriverThruRPG.

It is available for purchase now. I'm going through it right now.

And if there are hardbacks, will they be properly bound and high quality hardbacks as opposed to the garbage put out by DriveThruRPG.com?

Bought!

Now to think of a way to print it with Arms Law separate.

I think violence in games only causes violence in real life if the person in question has an insufficient mental capacity to deal with the real world in the first place. But, that's more the fault of poor genetics and poorer parenting than it is the fault of a videogame

I also bought it right away. I'm really loving it. As someone who's mainly played RM2 and read bits and pieces of RMFRP it feels like the best of both worlds and definitely the most approachable version of the game, well, ever.

I have a few minor issues with the system but nothing that would actively detract from my enjoyment of the game. Just feeling really happy about the first RPG I ever played getting a new sleek edition just as I was getting into the game again.

I suppose they'll wait a a while and see what errata will be pointed out by the playerbase before they offer a PoD version.

That's right. There will certainly be a print version as well, but we'd rather catch as much errata as possible before anything is printed. PDFs on the other hand you will get an updated version of after we make any necessary fixes.

Now this is officially out how does compatibility go with RM2?

Has anyone kept using RM2 material but with RMU as core rules?

Does a +5 bonus in RM2 = +5 in RMU?
How is the compatibility with other stat's, ranks, hits, RR, PP?
e crits all round
