Good idea warl... i will do that =)

About Mungo considerations: There are any official statements that RMC will substitute RMFRP? this really has some weight in my considerations...

The bad news is that my advisor put some dates in my millestones, and right now i am hanged in work =/
So maybe it will take some time for me to prepare any game... (he he he but i will have a master degree next year on Education and my topic is RPG =P, so it is worth off)

Abou the braziliam Publishers, i will do what i can to get the information with my contacts =P... But who is this Bruce and how i contact him?

Bruce is the CEO of ICE, he's around here from time to time.

If you hit "Staff List" second item from the right on the top navigation bar below the black banner, you can see him, and all the other folks that "work" around here.

LM, I can't figure out what you're talking about here.   The navigation bar at the top is Home-Help-Search-Profile-etc.   Don't see any Staff List, where is it at?

My top bar reads:

"Home, Help, Search, Admin, Profile, My Messages, Calender, Members, Links, Staff List, Logout"

Perhaps I have more as I am a mod and didn't know it? Let me know, and I'll stop refering to buttons people can't see. (Or perhaps Tim will expose them if they should be seen and are invisible.)

A bit of lively snarkiness is not a problem, but don't let it get out of hand, these conversations rarely go anywhere helpful, one of the reasons I was pleased to show mcfion down to the SW area to find content answers beyond the whole "Which system" question. I'd suggest just dropping the whole "My system" conversation, but if you continue, do it in a civil manner and don't let it get out of hand.

As a side note to my previous post regarding RMFRP etc..

How much time are you planning on commiting to playing?  It occurred to me after a day or so that I am currently preparing to run a RM2 weekend, although I usually run RMSS/RMFRP.  RMFRP is a bulkier system than RM2 or Classic ro whatever.  Mostly in Character Creation & Leveling up.  I much prefer it personally, but time is often precious and it could be a deciding factor....

Guys.... you showed the options very well, so don't fight over it =)

And a sugestion: somebody could edit this topic into an text like "Some directions the RM system to you", it really would help beginer's like me =)

About time: my group play every friday night with two campaings intercalated (i'm a player on both campaings that are running). One of these campaings is near the end, so i will assume the GM position in the next game... I'm planning to run a long term campaing and now asked the rule advocate player of our table to read this topic and help me choose the RM system (and made it clearly to stay away frow any SW book he encounters =P)

That would be because I had not given everybody permission to actually see it yet. I have now.

Actually, it is the list of those who work the forums (Admins, Global Mods, and Local Mods).

Cool

I would use RMFRP then.  Its actually an easier system to use, but a little chunky for bang and flash adventuring.  The TPs make it easy to create a very wide range of characters, or similar characters (ie 2 fighters) with different skills.  As I metioned before, the commitment of time in Character Creation & Leveling up is the only drawback...but when you've had as many characters as I have die, creation gets easy... ???

Or as a friend of mine said - another character with similar skills as the last.  Hence Fenlarion IV, the Incredibly Unlucky.

Sometimes Rolemaster seems more like a complicated skill based Paranoia game.

LOL

Yah, thats why when we first started playing some 12 years ago we used to consider ourselves a little sadistic....cuz we'd come to a session prepared to die.  The GM (me) would usually have a spare character or something available......a good way to get people to try some peripheral professions by the by...

Bimbo the Barbarian?  What was she, someone who wore a buckskin bikini that showed an aweful lot of leg and strangely looked like Christy Brinkley?
