… Read the restThe heroes of stories and legends often have extraordinary
abilities , unique magical powers or secret, special
knowledge. Collectively, these are referred to as Talents.

RMU House Rule #1 Stats
So here are the three uses I have for Stats…
- Stat Bonuses, this is the normal use for stats in RM. I want to keep the RMU magnitude and the addition of stat bonuses for finding the total bonus for skills.
HARP read through – Skills
There are lots of features of the HARP skills system that will seem similar. We have the rule of diminishing returns where the the first ten ranks give a +5 bonus, the next ten +2 then all ranks after that give +1.… Read the rest
RMU House Rule #0
OK, so I thought I would take a break from my HARP series today and write about RMU for a change.
This is inspired by the comment made by Aspire2Hope on the post RMU to Infinity and Beyond.
So as you all know my RMC house rules do not use levels or professions.… Read the rest
HARP Stats & Culture
So this time I want to cover two chapters of HARP Fantasy, Stats, Race and Culture.

be for you to learn certain skills.
Monkey See, Monkey Do

If your players are the sort that immediate leap for the Spirit Mastery list and then try and interrogate the hell out of the first peasant/guard/goblin they get their hands on then they are out of luck.… Read the rest
HARP Fantasy Walk-though Pt1
When I first mooted this idea it was to do a chapter per post. Having looked at the rulebook there are 15 chapters but some are more substantial than others and some lend themselves to be discussed together.
This is all based upon High Adventure Role Playing Fantasy, last updated 7th April 2017.… Read the rest
Read Through Reviews
There is HARP, RMC/RM2, RMSS/RMFRP and there is RMU. Most of the readership here seem to be in the RMC/RM2 camp. Up until last month I had only a vague understanding of just how different RMFRP was to RMC.
I cannot say I like RMFRP but I can see that there are some good elements in it.… Read the rest
Hypothetically
In Hypothetically, the characters return to a village to find a note asking them to explore a nearby temple. The note mentions a small amount of money that is included with it, but the money is missing. Will the characters over react over what is probably not a lot of money for them?… Read the rest
