Ignoring Classic, RM2 II RAW all professions are usually stuck at 1 rank per level for PPD. So it is just costing spell users DP to have much the same PPs as per level rule.

RM2 II level bonuses make the skill more viable given the DP costs.

However, Semi’s who don’t get the Magical level bonus are paying DPs but falling behind on PPs.

I think it would be best to not use PPD (if that is possible in FG) and use per level rule instead due to the negative impact on DP expenditure, especially on those Semi’s who don’t get the level bonus.

It's April, and I just thought again: How great would it be to not only have a Cyradon setting book, but also the mentioned new Cyradon material ... might it be soonish?

With RMU and Against the Darkmaster, there seems to be some renewed interest in "the Rolemaster family", and it would be great if Cyradon could profit of it.

Also, I still think that Cyradon, as a setting, was a little ahead of its time and might find a lot of fans these days. It's not as stuck in D&D tropes as a lot of other settings out there these days, and feels a lot more inspired by relatively modern fantasy literature. Nearly twenty years ago, it already took a step away from "evil races" and stuff like that and presented a more complex situation.

Maybe I'm misreading HARP, but especially when looking at the "Folkways" and "Beyond the Veil" supplements, it always seems like an RPG more interested in drawing from the breadth of fantasy literature than in the self-referentiality of a lot of other RPGs. I think there must be an audience for that, and Cyradon would certainly be a great figurehead for that idea. I love Against the Darkmaster, but it falls back quite consciously to 80s Tolkien pastiche fantasy; Cyradon could showcase that HARP can offer a broader scope.

I've uploaded both the original 2008 files I had and my revisions to the TinyPortal Download Vault. We'll see how long it takes an administrator to notice.

In the mean time I've also put them on Dropbox along with some screenshots for those who are curious.

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/6ong1vxx5r2f2orcm6wtc/AAy4dvJltC8TJ96XaXgGlK8?rlkey=exu9uolrjutv4zctf1r676kuf&st=hhr1hl9u&dl=0

I can also make the source textures I created in Gimp available, but just the main Kulthean texture is almost 1GB using the compressed settings so I'm not putting those up unless someone promises to take them and improve them. (The source texture is 16384x8192 and has multiple layers involved, with an even more detailed version over Jaiman.) The actual plugin files are using the Virtual Texture system which breaks that into smaller, more manageable chunks.

That Dropbox folder also has a file called "KultheanCalendar.html" which includes a Javascript-based calculator and clock that shows paired Kulthean and Terran times. Since Dropbox is just a file storage and sharing site, you will need to download that html file if you want to use it, so I've also included a screenshot of what that clock looks like. This is technically unrelated to the Celestia stuff, but the same date and time conversions are included in the Celestia scripts. Just without the cute clock display.

This is probably hopelessly broad, but what's new in second edition? I'll be honest, first edition did not capture my imagination. Is there anything about the second edition that would change my mind?

Hello all, I'm EltonJ.  While I work on my own world, I would like to run an RMSS/FRP game set in Greyhawk. We will be using Greyhawk: The Adventure Begins (1998) and the Greyhawk Player's Guide (1998). I am looking for 3-5 players. I am using Roll20. I currently run a Shadowrun game on Wednesday nights, and a Warhammer game on Thursday nights.  I am Mountain Daylight time (GMT-7).  I have Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays off (just not Friday nights).  I am planning an Evening game so more people in North America can join us.  I can run a game from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm.

The adventure begins in the City of Greyhawk. To keep things easy, you may use the following books to create your character:
* The Rolemaster Standard Rules/Rolemaster Fantasy Roleplaying
* The three volumes of Spell Law (of Channeling, of Essence, of Mentalism)
* RMFRP Character Law

Races allowed starting out include:
* Man (both High Man and Common Man)
* Dwarf
* Wood Elf
* High Elf
* Grey Elf
* Halfling
* Half-elf
* Half-Orc

If you are interested in joining us, you can PM me here, or contact me on Discord (Elton2).
