I stand by what I said above. As soon as they can get it done over and above the demands of full time job, family, etc.

The release of Spell Law was a pleasant surprise. Let's hope we get more of those.

I didn’t say released, I said completed. Totally different things. At some Con in October they had a version of the Core book so it was done then but not available on drivethru for another 2 months. And it’s been 3 months since then. Totaling around 5 months.

The sky isn’t falling since I’ve no financial investment. In fact we’re currently running with the same rules RMSS for about 2 decades. It’d be nice to switch but since evidently that’s not a priority for ICE it’s not a priority for us either.

I look forward to trying RMU out in 3-4 years. Just think about all the gaming dollars I’ll spend elsewhere between now and then.

Though I am pleasantly surprised with the recent purchase of Treasure Law. My prediction on when someone can actually pick up the full set of game books for a game of RMU - rules, spells and monsters - is looking a lot less like hyperbole one year later.

At the current pace, it won't be until 2024 or possibly 2025 that someone can sit down and purchase the RULES to play RMU. Since they "finished" the 1st book, RMU Core, it has been 5 or 6 months and there is not even a timeframe for the 2nd book, RMU Spell Law.  I dont imagine there will be a speedier process for release of the subsequent and necessary rule books.

Yes, having the rule books out should take precedence over putting out the source and setting material, BUT, sadly, with the glacial pace at which they put out any material, it could reasonably be 2026-2027 before they get anything out for their core setting. It could be hyperbole but it seems like it might be more likely that my dates are closer to the truth than what they will admit.

The guy that wrote this post is looking more and more like he was correct. Seeing as how there is still a creature book needed - hopefully will be out soon, we can still make that 2026-2027 timeframe for setting materials. If it come by mid 2025 I suppose I will be grateful.
