Thanks, that you like RMO  :)

Currently, I'm working on a bugfix release with some new german translations (mentalismn companion will be published in october), but there will be no features anymore.
According to my Google+ announcements I'll start a new project after RMO.
My plan was to start a flexible platform for different rule sets (RM2/C, RMFRP, SM, and different other games)
But after the ICE announcement to release a new Rolemaster books I'm unsure what to do.

My current state of my vision is:
1.) Wait for the new Rolemaster books and bring this new ruleset first (later the old ones, perhaps)
2.) Create an online platform where the game master shares his personal configuration (e.g. add a custom race, remove a spell list, forbit a skill, modify a profession, etc.). Players can create a character based on the game masters shared configuration or the default configuration.
The game master can see the characters of his players and it will be possible to allow write access for game master.
3.) First all will be online available, second is to make it available in an smartphone app (android + iphone)
4.) If needed (I'm not sure if this is really necessary) provide an offline generator which is similar to the RMO, but you can access the online characters, too

Important: I don't want to create a during game software, creating a very nice PDF was my goal in RMO and is my goal in upcoming platform.
Very important: Being the best generator  ;D

When is it ready? Mmmh, For RMO I spent 400 hours of development the last two years, so you can imagine it will take several months before I can show anything. I don't think you can await a beta version this year. (Check out Google+ for updates!)

Cool, well thanks for all your work you've done, I really appreciate it.
I doubt I would have picked up RMFRP again after all these years without your character generator.

I probably will get the new edition, but I expect I will stick with using RMFRP unless the new RM is dramatically different and better.

Great application... Thanks for all the hard work. I agree, I probably wouldnt be playing if it wasnt for RM Office. I wonder if Im doing something wrong but the Cleric always has the evil spell list when generated.....I dont even see the standard spell list in the "Other Base Own Realm" list.

a) these spell lists don't fit 100% into my software architecture, because I started RM Office before I understood these complex rules completely (e.g. the additional base spell lists aren't handled now)
b) I had to assign the evil spell lists to one or more profession (same reason as a) ), otherwise you can't generated an evil cleric, evil magician, evil mentalist ... just ignore the evil lists for your cleric
c) I will fix this issues in the sucessor of RM Office  ;)

Hi Magistrate! Awesome program you have going! I'm only new to Rolemaster (dwarven rogue) but I'm 100% hooked! I was really frustrated with not having a good character tracking program, until I found yours. If i could be so bold, I would like to make a few suggestions.

1. With magical items, would it be possible to allow the 'type' to affect skill categories not just skills and stats? Also with Magical items, could we have a box to check if they are currently in use or not, effectively turning the bonus on or off?

2. In equipment, it would be awesome if we could click the headers (description, location, weight, etc...) to sort by alphabetical or numerical order. To expand on this, having different boxes for weapons, armours, herbs... I guess if we can sort by location this should negate this.

3. There are a lot of modifiers for skill cat. and skill bonuses that can't be modified. In RMO, a skill with no ranks gets a -15 whereas our house rule is a -10. would it be possible to add up and down arrows to change the modifying value or an option/setting in the configuration file?

Hope these suggestions are ok  :) Thanks again for the great program!

Sliphsurfer,
 Welcome to the ICE Forums.


 Good feedback on the program. It would be nice if there was a GM section that allowed you to alter some of the basic parameters of the rule system and was not easy for a player to just fiddle with.

Thanks for the welcome :)

More customisation/flexibility are what's needed I guess. From what I have read here and on other sites while looking for RM software, a lot of people seem to have 'house rules.' Being able to apply these modifiers would certainly be fantastic.

I still keep getting redirected using the link in the first post.  No fix?

Hi,

first the download problem: Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/rmoffice/ and there is a big green download button.

Thanks for all the suggestions and I'm sorry that I can't fulfill your wishes, yet. Currently other things (like job/career and painting miniatures) have a higher priority for me, so you all have to wait some time for the successor of RMO which is fully customizable, extremly flexible and much more. I hoped to show you a prototype this year ... but RMO can't feed me ;-)

I will release the version 4.2.7 of RMO in the next weeks. And I have implemented some small features (herb support, order/group your favorites skills) and several bug fixes.
I'm just waiting for some data for the Shadowworld cultures (the everyman/restricted flags are missing for SW cultures)

Hi Magistrate,

I noticed what I believe to be a few small bugs with the PDF output.
  • When perusing the 'All Skills' list, my Lock Lore total was 4 when in actual fact it is 49 (which displayed correctly on my 'Skills' sheet).
  • The small boxes on the 'Combat Status Sheet' are overlapping/merged in the 'Exhaustion Points' box and the 'Movement' box.


Sorry to bother you I'm just a big fan of the work you are doing. Thanks again for the great program :)

Thank you, sliphsurfer, for your feedback. Could you please send me an email with the character file (the rmo file)? I can't reproduce these bugs. I'll send you a PM with my email.
