Also when it comes to a timeline to everything else, I have the following. Not sure of dates. i finish them when they get finished. I am hoping that everything but Roll 20 is finished by end of year. I want to start the Roll 20 scripting by 2025. I'm not sure of the interest for Beyond the Veil, Garden of Rain, and Subterfuge. Perhaps people will let me know if they are interested for me to add that. Roll 20 is basically where I plan to end AutoHARP3 development and focus on enhancement requests and then upgrading the whole package to ASP.NET / MAUI (the reason is that MAUI will make everything work on mobile devices). After that, perhaps people will send me ideas.

1) Architect Beta & Bestiary Beta Release
2) "Rubber Duck" Testing for Harp Sci-Fi and Sci-Fi Extreme.
3) Harp Sci-Fi and SciFi Extreme Final
4) "Rubber Duck" Testing for Architect and Bestiary
5) Architect & Bestiary Final
6) Folkways
7) Loot
Roll 20

EDIT: The info within is worth way more than what you have it priced at, if it helps a future sale out for how cheap you have it listed.

I appreciate that, and don't disagree with you. However, when these books have been for sale for two years and no one is touching them, I've had to lower the price twice now. Still no luck. 

Do PCs family members often play key roles in your TTPRGs? Why or why not?

There is no reason you have to run the Kickstarter in the middle of project. You can create the whole game, then run the Kickstarter at the end, and buy good art. In fact, that is probably the most common approach these days.

They could have done that and I would be among those that this day complain that I cannot run RMU at all while we wait for the last book to be finished.

We are having this discussion because Ironcrown made the hard commercial descissions to do partial releases. Something that comes with a lot of risks and has forced them to do a number of tradeoffs. Time will tell if was the right choice and none of your objections are objectively sure to the decissive from what we know now.

Ok, I will also say my piece.
* Some of the art is fine.
* The page making/layout is the real problem. Drop shadow on the tables? All art is in a box? Those fonts? Most rules are not fitted tightly to the page size.

When I look at the FRP Core Rules, I see great art by Wayne Reynolds, Paul Jaquays, Kent Burles and Angus McBride set in the right place. Nice Header fonts. One profession per page. One race per page. Most rules tightly formulated to fit exactly on a double page, which makes later referencing easy. Ok, also tons of not so great art:)

I get that Fenlon/Charlton ICE was a real company and not a hobby project, I mean these guys run Catan now($$$).
Still the design elements and decisions made are not optimal. The best art should be the art for the races and professions, since that is what comes into contact with most people.

Many of these pieces are, how to put it, horrible, only the Dwarves and the Hvasstonn seem usable. Maybe black and white art would have been the way to go.

The layout looks like something done in Word by 9th grader before co-pilot came out. Many rules cross a page border, the Orc stats are for example on the next double page after the description. In the professions the laborer and the thief are on top of each other on one page, while the warrior monk and the scholar get a column each. The chapter on stats starts in the second column of a page. I could go on forever...

I get this is a labour of love and I don't want to be mean. I still have to point these things out, since Rolemaster really means a lot to me (just found War Law for a good price:)
