Rolemaster express

It is possible to buy rolemaster express and the books for that version of the game ? I don't find anything about rmx on your store. I just want the PDF, and if they exists, books for rmx too.

since RMX is essentially an abridged version of Rolemaster Classic you might want:

I don't know what to do now. I gather info for knowing what is the best between rmss and rmc. Rmc is more power player than rmss, i've read somewhere. Or maybe it is the old second edition. I don't want of a system where player kill everything easily like in dungeon dragon, even if he is played his character for years. That's why i look for rolemaster. In wich one the players became powerfull more slowly ? Is Rmc is a good option ?

Players become more powerful more slowly in RM2/RMC than in RMSS. In RMSS, from what I recall, players can get up-front bonuses when they start their characters that can make for considerably higher OBs at first level than in RM2. I think RMSS characters also have more spell points? Not sure about that second point.

True RMSS PCs are more competent at first Level but overall progression is similar to RMC.

But you may want try HARP-Lite (free abridged version of HARP),
which might give you a better experience.

and upgrade to full commercial HARP later
