Until the release, such details will be covered by the NDA the closed testers have to agree to - until then any info we have comes from ICE and right now they are keeping kind of schtum :) At this stage we don't even know if there will be criticals :)

 A tid bit of info from the ICE Forums, was that PC creation will be closer to RMC than to RMSS/FRP.

yeah, I figured there was an NDA, I was just wondering if any tidbits had been revealed on the forums.

Well, that it's called Rolemaster is probably good :)

I wonder if it'll move more towards HARP or if it'll try to stay "classic"

There will be five books.

They will be packed with awesome.

It will be recognizably Rolemaster, although there are some innovations. It will not become HARP.

After it goes to beta, you should be able to learn a lot more, even if you don't purchase at that time.
