Heisenberg Uncertainty Countdown - Rolemaster Playtest
« on: September 20, 2012, 09:29:58 AM »
Just as a first headsup:

An initial pdf version of the playtest version of Character Law arrived overnight - a few items had gone astray - so I have sent back a correction list.

The playtest version of Spell Law has also started pdf layout - the front and back sections are done - our guru is working his way through the spell list tables from the back to the front. (It makes sense to him, I'm not going to argue!)

(For those who did not observe the HARP SF & HARP SF Xtreme uncertainty countdowns, in an uncertainty countdown I can tell you what has been done or yet to be done, but not when.)

Best wishes,
Nicholas

3 tables hiding (Unusual Success for them) in the spreadsheets still to go into the Character Law pdf - everything else looking very good.

Playtest forums have been created and initial admin threads built. The visibility switch on these will probably be tripped when the first pdf goes live into Public Playtest

Director's Briefing now written and awaiting the go signal.

Exciting. We expect to take part in the playtest, if we like the directions you have taken with this.

Will you be offering a summary of important changes/choices made for this version - maybe in the beta forum?

The RMU team will be posting their collected delta lists.

And you all will be participating in the beta test. Trust me on this - it will become clear very soon.

Hmm...must be some massive online tournament in the works.

I can see it now: The New Unified Rolemaster Arms Law Elimination "There-Can-Only-Be-One" Gladiatorial Tournament of Death.

I can't wait!

The reason it's mightier than the sword is because that's what you use to write down your sword bonus with.

Spell Law is now down to the inclusion of a few tables from the spreadsheets and a sanity check to see if anything escaped.

No problem, all the sane people escaped, it's only us left.  ;)

(Ya don't want sane people around as bystanders during a playtest, somebody could get hurt.)
