Preparing polls for your opinions to the next Shadowworld product...
Micael:
Hey to all new and old fans of Shadowworld.
As Nicholas, the director of ICE, mentioned in one of his Director Briefings, a Shadow World relaunch is planned for the future. We could support ICE by providing fan feedback through a poll.
What should be the first products for the Shadow World relaunch? Should it be a novel set in a new ERA with RMU, a new area on Kulthea or the first appearance of different magic system? An adventure using RMU and including HARP or an older Rolemaster system? Perhaps a long-awaited area expansion like Priest King, EMER IV or Jaiman NE, a second edition of something with primarily RMU stats, or something entirely different or a combination? I'm preparing polls but would love to hear your ideas first so I can include them in the poll.
Thank you for your help

Spectre771:
Something using the new RMU stats and rules is probably a great start, but *maybe* keep stats for the older systems as well. I know this will increase time and printing costs though. This will give players new to RMU (and RM in general) settings, modules, and material to jump into the RMU system. It will give veteran players updated books on a setting they already enjoy. I think the primary focus should be growing the RMU fan base and showcasing/supporting the brand new system.
Hurin:
Emer IV would be a great way to start. I'm not sure what state Terry's notes were in though when he passed.
katastrophe:
A reprint and update of the Master Atlas and possibly Jaiman. Using the RMU system. There is no need to keep legacy stats for adventure and books going forward. If you want to actually promote the new game and encourage new players to come on board, they should be playing the newest game that will actually be supported going forward. A relaunch of the Shadow World "box" as it was sold back in the days with the map and such but with a full update of the interior charts with RMU stats, racial descriptions using RMU and character creation would be great.
Jaiman is a good playable campaign as is Norek which would be good for new players to RMU and for old heads if they wanted to start a new campaign with a mix of players under the newest rules set.
From there new adventures either continuing the Norek or Jaiman adventures would be very nice.
Micael:
Just to clarify your idea—there are others who argue that they don't want to buy 90% of the same content again just to update the stats. What is the benefit for those who already own the existing material with your approach? Why not simply release an RMU addendum instead?
