Hi!

Anything new from new books (Jaiman, Emer IV and Haalkatine) ?

Jaiman is held up on art and stat conversion delays. I am curious: how many of you use or need the RMSS stats in recent books?

Curious if there will be hard cover print version of the Master Atlas 4ed. on RPG Now?

Mike

I expect not. The little bit of relevant new material in SWMA 4 will appear in Emer I. I believe that ICE wants to wait for RMU before releasing a new edition of the atlas with physical printings.

We use RMSS. We started lighter editions and started to use RMSS few years a go, sametime than we find the Shadow World. Now my collection of Shadow World books is allmost perfect! In my next campaign, i will need that new Jaiman book, so it has been long time to wait it. :D

My current campaign is RMSS in Jaiman, so i will use them. If they are not available i can always adapt RM2 stats, but i prefer to have them handy.

I used only RM2, and am now using RMU, so we skipped RMSS/FRP altogether, and I wouldn't need it.

I don't want to start an edition war; I just want to answer your question. I love all my RMSS brothers and sisters... and even some of the FRP folks too  :)

Of course, when the RMU singularity happens... I will go forth to RMU and i will need RMU stats in Terry's books. :)

The only stats I'll ever need are RM2.

I just need the stats, outlook and items. Spells might help, but just to get an idea.
With so many house rules going on, if I really need an NPC with numbers, I need to re-create the character.

RMSS/RMFRP for me, but after RMU is released I'm sure I'll switch to that.

I too use RMSS/RMFRP having switched over from RM2, but also expect to look closely at RMU and at least use some parts of it.

I switched from RM2 to RMSS when RMSS was published.

Waiting on artwork for the Jaiman and Haalkitaine revisions. Meanwhile I am writing like a madman on the new Emer IV. It's going to be almost as weighty as Emer III!

2 months to GenCon. I am a bit scared.

I just need RM2 stats :) 

OK, OK.... and maybe RMU stats too. :D

RMU is a long ways off, it seems, but Nicholas could better answer that. But it would be interesting to know how many SW people use the RMSS stats? I write the stats in RM2/Classic and we have someone convert them.

As for 'new' There is new art and a lot of new text in Jaiman. Haalkitaine has a lot of revised text, tons of new material, Tombs and sewers, and some gorgeous portrait art from someone new (and old but his new work is gorgeous!).
