This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This looks really interesting.
I used to run MERP, Roplemaster, Spacemaster way back in the 80s and 90s and later versions of said games over the years.

I love the MERP style cover. You must be running a fine line there to avoid legal problems.

Anyway, will most likely back a physical copy of the game for delivery to Australia.

Thanks, we're preparing an updated version (we've already spotted a few easily corrected errors here and there) and we'll send it out as soon as it's ready

I like the writing style! Easy to read, understand, not too "technical manual". It's super amazing how you distilled the core aspects of RM into a MUCH easier-to-digest model. Seriously. As an observer of the industry and understanding all the drama, debate, controversy and feet-dragging that has plagued the new edition of RM, it's ironic how focused a game can be distilled from that concept. I finished my speedread-through and chuckled at the end. "My god what were all those words in RM doing for us?"  :-D
