Umm.. the RMC Team folks are working on Combat Companion. That is me doing that.
After some thought, I realized that the above sounded a bit pompous (which I don't like). I had made the post in a hurry (I forget why I was in a hurry though), and thus kept my comments shorter than they could have been.
I do have a correction to make about the first part cause I forgot all about mentioning him in my previous post. David Johansen wrote the criticals (and did an EXCELLENT job of it) for the new combat system.
And then there is Vroomfrogle, without whose comments, the style system would not have likely turned out as well as it did. He also provided a good review of some options that we were looking for the ABTP rules, and that helped ICE finalize some
And there were other members of the RMC Team who made suggestions and comments regarding other portions of the manuscript, all of which helped make it as good as it is.
So while, yes, I am the author of Combat Companion, there are others who have contributed advice and, in the case of David, some content to the product. Much like how Nick's Alpha and Beta players have helped make HARP SciFi as good as it has become.
Several members of the RMC Team HAVE turned their hands to other projects, some to the Gift Companion, and some to Campaign Law.
Corrections to make here as well. The RMC Team is now basically disbanded, since the final release of RMC:C&T.
So, we actually have 2 teams (with membership that overlaps). One working on the Gift Companion and the other working on Campaign Law.
They are as follows:
Gift Companion TimLordmiller
Vroomfogle
Maikeru
eiseg
Chosen GM
Cormac Doyle
(plus a few project specific contributions from Heike and myself, such as the Adventure Rewards that premiered in EA#2)
Campaign Law Teamallenrmaher
Cormac Doyle
eiseg
LordMiller
maikeru
Vroomfogle
And on all three projects, the forum Moderators have also occasionally dropped in to provide insightful comments as well.
(there... much less pompous sounding overall.... heheh
)
