This meme uses the “Anime Girl Hiding From Terminator” template, in mexico filter, where the text ‘I, who can’t even write 100 spells for my TTRPG’ is layered over the anime girl, and ‘Rolemaster casually having 2000 spells in 162 spell lists and 15 magic classes’ in the Terminator, which is referring to the quantity of spells in the Rolemaster RPG’s Spell Law book, one of the fundamental books alongside Character Law & Campaign Law, and Arms Law & Claw Law. And yes, before you say it, I know they’re called professions, not classes.
While I am completely unfamiliar with the system, this information make me want to actively avoid it. Options and details are great up to a point, but past that point it’s just adding more stuff for the sake of having more stuff. And if your selling point is “look at this unironically ridiculous and pointless amount of stuff” then I question your priorities and quality standards.
I was going to say something similar. If your book has hundreds of bespoke spells that’s kind of a minus. If they’re examples of what you can do with the underlying system (like mage the awakening does) then fine. But a dnd style list of unique effects with no real coherence is not good. Inelegant. Crufty.
Well Rollmaster has multiple authors/designers and the benefit of 43 years of accumulated writing and knowledge.
This was Second Edition from the 80’s.
Point taken, but they also still had the resources and people to make that many charts.
Should be “me” and not “I”.
i dont care ❤️
That’s fine. Likewise, I don’t care if you want to continue looking like an idiot. At least I tried to help you, but some people are beyond help.
your entire profile is nitpicking people’s grammar
I just looked over the last ~50 or so comments of mine and I see, at best, one other comment that might be construed as nitpicking someone’s grammar (it’s not, but seeing as how you’re really fuckin’ dumb, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt). I don’t know how your tiny little pea brain decided that meant my account was dedicated to that, but then again I do have to remember the bit about you being very fucking dumb and apparently proud of that fact, so here we are.
Rolemaster is impressive in many, many, many regards.
Not all RPG rulebooks have one of their first play examples be a guy dying from falling off his camel
