Any New Games

[Gambrinus]

I have been a Rolemaster fan from the first time I pick up a MERP book in middle school. Anyway I am new to FG, but would love to see FG in action with the RMC ruleset. So if you got some extra room in a campaign, I would love to check it out.

Sydney, +10 GMT, although it is daylight saving at the moment so it is +11 GMT I think.

So my night time say 8pm is EST 4am US EST, not so crash hot i know. UK is better it is more like 9am.

That why speficing Australia was important we tend to have to play with only other Australians, based on our time zone, it sucks a little but oh well.

I would love to join your merp session, as I had recently dug out my old merp books and got a set of the new RMC books so that i could run a game here with a few friends that had never played rmc/merp.
Unfortunately 4am is a bit to early for me since I am in EST.

We're in the same mood it seems. Here's the intro of the game I've been GMing with my friends:

BREE, 1975, THIRD AGE

Another warm Spring day, the kind that has only been seen mid-Summers in the last decades. Some say the fall of the Witch King has released his wintery curse on Arnor. Perhaps they speak the truth...

It was just over a month ago the Black Hordes of Angmar were crushed under the thundering wrath of the Host of the West. These men of Gondor, joined with the elves of the Grey Havens and Rivendell, came to defend Arthedain, the last Kingdom of the North. Alas, they arrived too late.

Much of Arthedain was scoured by the foul savagery of orcs, trolls and evil priests. Vastly outnumbered, even the powerful fortress of Fornost Erain could not stall the Angmarims. Prince Aranarth rallied the last of the Dunedains in a bold retreat, covering for King Arvedui escaping to protect the powerful treasures of the line of Isildur.

The Prince and his brave Dunedains lured the Black Hordes on the open fields below the hills of Evendim into an apocalyptic battle against the Host of the West. By night fall, most of the Angmarims were slain and the survivors were scattering into the night in terror. The Witch King, as black as the night, escaped the retribution of Glorfindel, the Noldo Lord. He has not been seen ever since. And neither has Prince Aranarth.

The icy news that would seal the fate of Arthedain, and confirm the prophecies of the seer Malbeth, came last week. The elven ship which had rescued King Arvedui sank in the icy waters of Forochel. Without king nor prince to mend their hearts and rebuild the North Kingdom, the remaining arthadans, most having lost husbands and sons, are packing up to leave for Gondor.

Bree is the busiest it’s ever been. Food supplies, coming from the Shire, are routed north to the war bands pursuing any remaining evil. Those leaving for Gondor are gathering their numbers outside town before heading south. The air is bitter sweet; sad and full of sorrows for many, yet warm and exciting for others…

Definitely interested - I have most of the MERP books and some Rolemaster books knocking around somewhere... Will have to get them out of storage too! Roleplaying game midlife crises are great (as long as you didn't get rid of all your old books of course).

Bree 1975 sounds pretty cool to me.

Are you playing in FG or old school at a table?

We have been around the table for some games, but getting my friends together on a regular basis is like herding cats. I guess that's what you get when you hang out with a bunch of college kinds that are at least ten years younger than me. oh god, I may be going thru a midlife crisis

Anyway, that is one of the reasons that I thought I would check out FG and see if I could find some campaign to play in on a more regular schedule.

4am EST could work for me.. depending on the day... I'd be up for playing some MERP.

Get rid of? Sacrilege I plan to be buried with them just in case you can take stuff with you into the next realm.

It has been a long time since I played rolemaster but it was always my favourite system. I have never used FG2 either but I would love to be able to play or watch a game and see how it works on a VTT.

Please let me know if either would be a possibility?
