Warmaster Updates

by
Spent a bit of time updating and adding a bunch of content to our custom Warhammer/Rolemaster fantasy mechanics, used for our existing Enemy Within campaign. The game has been going strong now for several years, despite originally thinking it would only last a few months. As a result, the details have evolved quite a bit…

The Enemy Within ep 3.38
One campaign that continues to be going strong is our Warhammer Fantasy/Rolemaster mashup, playing (loosely) the Enemy Within campaign. This storyline has been going on now for nearly 3 years (with a 1-year break in the middle) and is very popular with the players involved. Despite schedules, we are able to routinely get together and…

Last night we managed to wrap up chapter 1 of the Enemy Within campaign, with our Warhammer Fantasy campaign. The session ended up a bit short, but thats more of the nature of the mid-week games that we are doing, rather than the content. The group managed to get themselves frames for a large number…

However, the character generation mechanics always felt lacking, so over the years we…

High fantasy, and realistic and deadly combat, combined with more than its share of technical crunch and math, we spent many sessions in the worlds and settings using those rules. Over time, the published ruleset evolved into a…

Campaign Options

In preparation for our next major campaign, I am strongly considering using the 2nd Edition Pathfinder rules. The setting obviously is familiar to the group, and the ruleset is similar enough to make things understandable. And since they have a full campaign of experience now, it would not be too challenging for the group to…

Long lost memory

by
A long time ago (about 10 years or so), I created a detailed character sheet for the roleplaying game Rolemaster. This was based in Excel, and took advantage of the programming and database options in the spreadsheet to automate most of the character generation process. It used several hidden pages to consolidate various options and…
