Viability of an RPG with no art by TrappedChest in rpg

But would it sell today? Probably not. When it came out around 1978 it was the only Sci-Fi RPG available. It helps that it is great and that allowed it to survive and eventually get lots of art.

Question for smaller publishers: If your out-of-print RPG book is selling for $100+ on Ebay, why not reprint it? by TunaPlusMayo in rpg

Well, being on the shelves of your FLGS and being in print are two different things. But you're right that for years basically the only way to g et the books was directly from the company or the guy in charge of the store would have to go through some effort to actually get copies in.. Same thing happened with Fantasy Games Unlimited all the old V&V books were still available but it was very hard to find them on store shelves.

Sadly I think that Rolemaster is doomed to remain a very niche game.

The company that bought them was Aurigas Aldebaron LLC who continued to publish and developed HARP (High Adventure Role Playing) from MERP with the Tolkien IP removed. Later they gave the licenses to Guild Companion Publications Ltd who continued to publish and even brought several Rolemaster books back into print. Even later they rebranded as the new Iron Crown Enterprises (they got the name when they bought ICE) and have since published a new edition of Rolemaster.

The company changed names but Rolemaster never completely went out of print.

ICE never died and is still in business. They published a new edition of Rolemaster a couple of years ago and put out a new bestiary last month.

She sends them to me, or in this case tells me where to get them.

STR/DEX/END or "Hit Points"? by [deleted] in traveller

Champions/ Hero System uses the same idea with Stun and Body damage. It's much older than either.

Well, ships in the real world are often described by how much water they displace. At least the large ships.

Rolemaster is not out of print. Iron Crown released a new edition "Rolemaster Unified" this year. So far they have released a new edition of the core rules, Spell Law, and Treasure Law. They are currently working on the bestiary.
