We are 9 players of Rolemaster playing this game for about 2 years now.
Do you actually run games with 9 players in it or do you divide up into multiple groups/campaigns?
Pulled from another of my posts elsewhere...
From the start with MERP, then RM, we took binders with dry erase sleeves and setup our characters. That helps with combat speed. We also have players look up all their own results so the GM isn't doing it all. Of course, just having players that pay attention during combat is a huge factor in the first place.
1st/2nd pages are character info.
3rd/4th are skills.
5th/6th are combat sheet info and, if needed, experience tracking sheet.
7th/8th (and however many needed two page combos) are weapon or spell attack table and corresponding crit chart.
9th/Etc Then come the spell lists you know.
