...no matter how good of a supplement the ICE churs out for Rolemaster it is still supplementing a flawed game design.

Oh I know I speak heresy. I played RM for almost 15 years. My gripe comes fromt he fact that when RMSS came out it was promised it was said to be streamlined and easier than RM2e. Lies. Terrible lies.

I will SAY RMSS is better than RM2e once you get used to it. I pretty much had every rules, variant, and duch memorized down to the page number, but repetition does this.

RMSS is also more complicated and suffering from anything useful that resembles a walk-through or tutorial. It could have been so much better...but they decided to improve upon a style of gaming that really didn't go with the trends in gaming. Which is too bad on both accounts.
