Hello,

Disregarding whether that is sensible considering RMU is still in Beta, I'd like to ask what is the policy on publishing content in The Guild Companion using RMU Beta (2) rules?

This could comprise e.g. new Race stats, new Professions, setting conversions, adventure modules, rules adaptations etc.

Not an official answer, but I referenced the RMU beta 1 spell lists in my arcane lists, it was not an issue.

Twister,
I would look at the play-test agreement especially at rule #5. This should outline what you can and cannot do. If you still have questions I would contact a moderator who can pass your request up the chain of command and get you an official answer.
Right now as I understand the ToA (and I am not a member of ICE Staff so do not consider my interpretation official in any way) you can publish a race but not the rules to create the race or the individual point costs of the talents as that would be republishing the material of RMUB2.

I just heard from on high about this and other questions regarding RMUb2, as the rules are not in any way final (and may be quite fluid) when you write something it might have already been changed in a revision. So ICE asks you to not write any articles until the time that the rules are finalized.
Thanks for your understanding.

Alright, this is understandable and the major reason why I was asking. Thanks for the response!
