"I'm only qualified to talk about the 3rd edition. Need info about Rolemaster Fantasy Roleplaying (RMFRP)."

RMSS and RMFRP aren't significantly different enough to warrant a separate entry or detailed description--I have both and they're interoperable and interchangeable although RMFRP is the "replacement" for RMSS, according to ICE.


"Rolemaster differs from the better known Advanced Dungeons and Dragons in that only two ten-sided dice are needed to play it (compared to well over a hundred of various shapes that can be found in a typical AD&D player's briefcase), and more importantly in that Rolemaster strikes an optimal balance between realism and playability in its skill, magic and combat mechanics."

This paragraph is rather POV.. Ausir 15:37, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

This whole paragraph is useless. You certainly don't need "well over a hundred" types of dice to play AD&D (if that many types of dice even exist), and the second sentance is NPOV. I enjoy playing Rolemaster too, but I'm certainly not going to claim it is the "optimal" system. I'm going to remove this paragraph. I'm also going to remove the superfluous note about the distinction between RMSS and RMFRP since the article is accurate for both systems. --Jfbolus 12:00, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
