Back in the day (1990's) we played the hell out of RM2 in Middle Earth. I'm in Houston Texas BUT willing to try out a campaign here or on Fantasy Ground.

I played RM in Middle Earth back in the day. It was a lot of fun and would love to find a group as well.

There seems to be somewhat of a following on a game system called Fantasy Ground that supports Rolemaster. Its online but apparently you can use maps and other cool things so its like you all are there in real time even if you live around the world lol What's funny is we use to play in a friend's basement in Groveport Ohio....

Hey rolfy I am GM'ing a campaign using the RMC ruleset on Fantasy Grounds and looking for one more player. I sent you a message with the dets if you are interested in joining, thanks!

No, a fantasy grounds game...GM is in South America, and we have people in North America and recently had one in UK

Also playing since 80s then MERP, now a local RMC/2 group on FG as I really like the automation and paperless approach ;)

Agreed! GMing Rolemaster used to give me headaches at the end of the night, but I got really good at doing quick simple math in my head!

Always a tonne of folks looking to GM/play, especially with the wonderful ruleset FG/Dakadin + a few others have been cobbling together forever.

Ardem has tacked on a RMFRP(RMSS) backend extension so if you like that flavour of RM, you can rock that game, too.

Welcome to source games here and on the official ICE Discord servers here:

Unofficial but first created = https://discord.gg/aDjHbsMbd2

Enjoy all the communities of RM,

I hacked the original rulset because I couldn't figure out how to do it with extensions. I got the Combat Tracker working more the way I would like, I split the round into 4 phases and rounded all actions to the nearest quarter (which apparently is what RMU is doing but with "Action Points"). I also added a "Mounted On" drop down below the spell adders so you when you select a mount it automatically calculates the OB and MM bonuses and figure out the appropriate encumbrance and base rate for the transport. Also stopped people from attacking when stunned or attacking with a weapon that isn't equipped in primary and secondary, among a bunch of other things. Still working out the kinks but it helps running combats.

I'm currently running a RMC campaign set in the Shadow World via Fantasy Grounds Unity and Discord, but I must admit that finding players can be hard sometimes.
And while I'm not currently running a local campaign, I do also use FG to run my local campaigns since it helps reduce the time I spend looking for tables and modifiers.
