If you propose losing that, you beg the question of how to resolve chances that are less than 1 in 100. As it stands, all ICE games in all iterations have a handy means to resolve "heroic" acts, where "heroic" is defined as something that rates a "Sheer Folly" or "Absurd" modifier. It's the flip side to the lethality of the combat system, that on the one hand it hasn't been nerfed, but on the other hand you can actually figure your chances of doing something suicidally stupid and getting away with it.

I'm all for simple where it can be achieved within an acceptable cost, but.... here, you'd have to either find something to replace it with or nerf the entire game, no?

+1, Agreed 100%

I'm sure someone will come here to suggest something, but there is really no change needed to this.

Hoo boy, it's getting down to the wire, and I'm wondering when ICE will announce the public beta of Unified Rolemaster.

Will it be tomorrow? Will it be Thursday? Will I get to spend Labor Day weekend with it? Or will we have to wait until September?

I can hardly contain myself!

  Nicholas HM Caldwell, said in another post that it looks like it will be the first week/end of September. The team is hard and fast at work and Dr Caldwell has his brothers wedding to attend, so he will get very little work done this weekend.

Thanks - somehow I missed that.

Well, life has to take precedence even over FRPG's!

Is Rolemaster Unified going to use the Angus McBride covers? I really hope is does--nothing says Rolemaster to me more than those covers.

Sorry if I missed the answer somewhere else in this, or any other, thread.

I assume it will not include Angus McBride art since sadly he are no longer are with us. It would mean they would have to use his old art for covers and I am sure they want to mark a new era with the new Rolemaster. Meaning using new art.

Personally McBride was always one of my favourite artists and would have loved to see art from him.

Welcome to the forums.

Unfortunately Angus McBride passed away or we would have been asking him for at least one new cover.

Instead we will have five brand-new covers.

Best wishes,
Nicholas

The big thing I am wondering and waiting to find out is what kind of changes will be present?  How will they bridge some of the differences between RMC and RMSS (Fantasy)?  Will the top skill cost be 30, higher, or lower?

Anything that makes the GMs life easier without messing the game up will always get a vote from me.

Yeah, I knew he was dead (such a shame, but he did leave us with an amazing art legacy), I was just hoping that the new books would keep using the old covers. But I totally understand using new art to not confuse the editions. Guess I'll be picking up some RMFRP stuff to make sure I have some stuff with his art on the shelf while I'm waiting for Unified to arrive.
