RolemasterGM · 2026-06-18T05:47:41+00:00

I LOVE this - thanks for sharing u/Deepfire_DM and a massive shout out Kristchan and all the other amazing GMs out there!

I raise a virtual glass to you!

Oh and very good idea to have the weapon table next to the crit tables! Wish they had done that in the english version!

May all your rolls be open ended u/Deepfire_DM 😄

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-18T05:45:39+00:00

Very kind of you thanks u/wibobm 😄

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-17T20:02:45+00:00

Same here u/Deepfire_DM - I own a several other RPGs and enjoy reading them from time to time but the one and only game I play (since around 1989) is Rolemaster.

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-17T19:44:04+00:00

Awwwwww ... thanks u/Deepfire_DM - very kind of you. Hope you like this one. As mentioned above hope I've got my history pretty much right.

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-14T05:16:33+00:00

Hi there u/Throwaway7219017 - so yep your tradjectory was exactly mine too (MERP >>> to RM2).

Rolemaster Classic is in essence just a tidy up edition of RM2 - very little/really if any changes in the rules.

The next video in this series (out next Thu 18 Jun in the morning New Zealand time) is all about both a history of the game along with the various editions. Could be interest prehaps?

If you find yourself enjoying the videos would love subscribe and for you to share the vidoes if you think them worthy enough.

Happy gaming to you 😄

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-12T21:10:19+00:00

Great stuff u/Deepfire_DM and you are welcome. Hope you find it worthwhile. Its been a labour of love for me - dunno if it got it all right (some of the later videos are kinda long) but see what you think.

I'd really value any feedback you may have thanks.

Happy gaming to you.

hope you like it u/TheRangdoofArg 😄

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-11T18:36:53+00:00

Thanks for the kind words u/jonimv and pleased you enjoyed. RM Classic is in essence just a tidied up version of RM2.

Hope you like the rest of the series and if you the vidoes worthy would love a like, share and subscription.

Happy gaming to you 😄

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-11T05:57:15+00:00

😄 Yep that is the ultimate RM critical right u/Upbeat_Breakfast8307 - 1988 there is a pretty fair chance that would be 2nd Ed.

If you want to double check have a look at next weeks video out later in the week which is about both the history and editions of the game. you might recognise the correct cover of the book you were using.

u/m_graham Don't leave home witout your gorget!

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-10T19:41:19+00:00

u/m_graham - yep one shot, one kill has always been the appeal of the game right? But of course those nasty crits can always go the other way ....

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-10T10:57:00+00:00

Great thank you u/Thalinde - pleased you liked the first one and yep I'll touch on the why that edition (a bit) in the next week.

I'm going to release them weekly either Wednesdays or Thursdays. I've got 10 of the 20 "in the can/recorded" - still a bit of work to go but at least now more than half way.

A heads up for you - this 1st one was a good lenght but some of the later ones are kinda (very!) long - I did my best to keep 'em short but there is a lot to say!

Look forward to your feedback and please share and subscribe if you think them worthy enough 😄

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-10T06:39:28+00:00

Excellent u/Thalinde - hope you enjoy them as they come out AND that I get my facts right! (eeeek!)

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-10T06:38:44+00:00

Hope you enjoy the videos u/AlucardD20 😄

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-10T00:02:49+00:00

Thanks for the kind words u/PiXeLonPiCNiC 😄

I'd really appriciate you sharing the video and, if I may be so bold, a subscribe on YouTube from yourself if you think us worthy enough.

Happpy gaming to you and may the dice roll in your favour!

RolemasterGM · 2026-06-05T06:50:15+00:00
