- An overview of Spell Law, across various editions - the Rolemaster magic system that can be incorporated into virtually any role-playing game.
Here, I go into what it does, from learning spells, to casting them, to attacking with them, to some notes on how to use Spell Law with other game systems.

Lot of memories returned while listening to this.
Good ones of adventure, I hope!
Loved this magic system. Wish this was in creative commons so more people would integrate it into their games.
We can hope. It may be we'll see more and more systems go that way.
Thanks for bringing some much needed attention and insight to RM's Spell Law. RM is a great joy for me to run, but I find that players generally struggle to grasp the procedures and rely upon me to guide them through anything much beyond rolling the dice and looking up the result.
Cheers!
I'm glad you found it useful 🙂 RM is an too-often overlooked game. It's a shame - there's a lot of solid work that has gone into it.
This was excellent! Please do more Rolemaster.
Thank-you!
I'm really enjoying Hawkwind. Thanks for the share!!
Nothing wrong with a good slice of Hawkwind!
Great job!
I really miss my old Rolemaster and MERP sessions with the lads.
A video on Arms Law would be very well received as well. Maybe you already have one. Let me check.
Not specifically Arms Law, but my general RM videos dive into it a bit. Maybe I should cover all of the core books?
My God, you don't know an edition of RM you know all its editions? You are awesome. Love these in depth videos!
Hah - I'm that old 🤣
To be fair, I started with Rolemaster at RM2, but kept up the love from there. I once tried to return to RM2 (from RMSS). I thought, "what I'll do here is compile the options from the Companions I want to use, but it'll be a return to basics".
As it happens, when I fold in all of the RM1/2 options I like, it looks awfully like an unedited RMSS...
Anyway, that's anecdotal. Thank-you for your kind words!
Im really tempted to get a copy of the new rolemaster. Even if its just for nostalgia purpose.
It's not bad. Streamlined some of the more convoluted parts of RM.
As always, a fantastic overview and explanation of a classic system.
Thank-you 🙂
Great video! I’ll take all the RMU content you care to make!
I need to get an RMU review done. My RM review videos go up to RMFRP thus far.
I’m excited for this! 😃
I hope it lives up to your excitement!
Thank for your video and to talking about Rolemaster System :)
Thank-you!
Excellent retrospective on this one, had forgotten about it for a time. I think I had it as part of a boxed set in the early 80s. Unfortunately, my mother sent this one (along with more relics of the day that I want to think about) to dumpster oblivion. Salud! 🍻⚔
Thank-you!
Great explanation. Thank you.
You're welcome!
I was never super excited for the Rolemaster magic system, although I enjoyed the Rolemaster system in general, the spells never felt quite as 'special' as in Ad&d.
Saying that my group played a lot more Rolemaster than Ad&d, but I never played a magic using character, always a martial class, the combat system was very fun.
I need to do a supplemental on this... Each D&D spell is like a rules capsule, while RM spells do most of their work within the rules as a whole. That might make them seem less special, but it's certainly a more logical way to go.
This overview is EXCELLENT!! Thank u for creating it. I will definitely refer to it in the future. 😊
Thank-you - I'm glad you found it useful 🙂
Bravo zulu! Great content.
Thank-you!
We called it "Chartmaster". That said its such a fun game.
Chartmaster and Tableblemaster are fair. It's when folk try to make out that it's rules are more complex than D&D that I rankle!
@@WillyMuffinUK Totally agree on that. AD&D 1st edition was just as complex and actually less clear in my opinion at times. I think the only issue with Rolemaster was that it's pretty top heavy for the GM and if the players don't get the basic rules down, even more so. Still, I'll always be a fan of Rolemaster and MERP.
@@Acmegamer If someone had merged AD&D's organisation with Rolemaster's common systems...!
@@WillyMuffinUK Oh what a game we could have had! 😀
Well done.
Thank-you
