I've placed two PDF docs at the following link:

https://www.digitaladventures.net/RMC_docs.zip

One is a character creation doc, and another is a list of some of the special features. We're probably update these docs in the future, but these at least get you going.


Enjoy!

I got it and I'm really tickled. But I have an issue...my stat bonuses don't seem to be getting calculated. I'm pretty sure I did what your doc says. Disclaimer..totally new to FG.

Hi

The automation is built to work when connected to a campaign, if you are using it "Manage Characters" mode then you won't see the automation. Run FG and select "Create New Campaign" or "Load Campaign" (if you have the Full version of FG) or else "Join game" if you have the Lite version and can connect to a GM who is running your campaign.

If the problem persists, please drop Digital Adventures an email at the support address which came with the product (these forums aren't really for third party support).

All the best

Nice, I have MERP 1st & 2nd editions (and almost all supplement books) and Rolemaster basic books (1st & 2nd edition). And additional books too (10 million ways to die and ...and 10 feet pole). As I read previously about upcoming FG ruleset, I actually opened few MERP books and spent weekend reading :)

I'm not sure if I have time enough to actually play RMC but perhaps I will continue my 12 year old MERP campaign via FG.

Call of Cthulhu was same... excellent product and of course I just HAD to make "just a few adventures"....

Ohhh my!!!!

I picked up this ruleset the first day I noticed it available. I have been tinkering with what it can do and tip my hat to the programmers.

I have about 1 and a 1/2 years before I complete my BS in Computer Information Systems. I had hoped to join DA to help with any new rulesets. But now, after seeing this, I am not worthy!!

Thanks guys! This is a marvelous addition to the Fantasy Grounds system.

It's been over 15 years since I last ran Rolemaster 2nd edition. As far as I knew, ICE had gone bankrupt. Come to find out they released a Classic edition which is pretty much 2nd edition. I remember Rolemaster campaigns being the golden years of our gaming group. We had so much fun. But I also remember spending half the gaming session looking up charts, flipping through books and combat rounds that took 1 hour each.

When I saw a Rolemaster ruleset was available I purchased it immediately. I was eager to see what the DA dev team had done with it. I must say I am very impressed with what they've done.

If only I had had access to that tool 20 years ago! I havent had the chance to test with it with players yet but I can see how it would speed up combat, MM and SM resolution tremendously.

I once told my players that never again would I run Rolemaster. But, after fooling around with the ruleset for a few hours by myself, I would gladly run or play in a Rolemaster campaign now that this ruleset exist.

Again, thanks so much to the guys who obviously worked very hard to put this product out.

Side note:
I created a thread (https://fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10869) in The Guild House to form a Rolemaster group. If any of you would like to join the group please check out the thread and post.

I bought 1.1 and updated to 1.2 but I needed a special link because my purchase does not display in the Order History link. Could you please do so again.
