RMSS vs RMFRP
By Brent Knorr
Part 1 - Introduction
Rolemaster Standard System (RMSS) vs Rolemaster Fantasy Roleplaying (RMFRP)
In 1995, ICE came out with Rolemaster Standard System
Rules, RMSS (or RMSR) for short. Close to 30 titles were
published under the RMSS title. Most of these had a brownish
border on the cover with an inset picture, with the title usually
in red, but occasionally in blue.
In 1999, the RMSS line was halted and Rolemaster Fantasy
Role Playing, or RMFRP for short, was started. This was to
be basically a reprint of Rolemaster Standard System, being
advertised as 95% compatible. There were 10 titles printed in
the RMFRP system before ICE was forced into Chapter 7
bankruptcy in October 2000. These titles have a reddish
border, with the word Rolemaster in gold and the title usually
in red.
This left players with an incomplete set of books for the RMFRP system, particularly
since some of the titles proved to be difficult to get hold of. Most gaming groups will
have players that have some sort of mix of books between the RMSS and RMFRP
systems.
The purpose of this series of articles will be to give a detailed comparison between
Rolemaster Standard System and Rolemaster Fantasy Roleplaying.
There are several reasons for doing this. One is to help people decide which books, if
any, they may want to replace/purchase.
Another is to assist GM's in knowing what to expect when they are dealing with a group
of players that will have assorted versions of these books.
I hope to present enough information that if you have the book from either system, and
this series of articles, you will have all you need to come up with a consistent set of rules
for your gaming group.
