RPG - Rolemaster & Adventures in Middle-Earth - Wolfshield Actual Play

I talk to Bob, the designer of the Rolemaster Unified ( RMU ) Game System on Foundry. If you check out my video version of this pod on my Wolfshield Games channel on Youtube (  https://youtu.be/1KZZNvDVcxw  ), it has examples of the Game System in action.   The RMU videos Bob talked about are listed below: https://youtu.be/qcb1jdo8oOM?si=5PJoK2daKXe9bl3r https://youtu.be/nlkADFWbLRI?si=c2kFSTDu1g7z-qtn https://youtu.be/t5auaodzTYU?si=1UiE-tXg4vQRz-O9 Cheers.  

I interview Colin the Marketing Troll from Iron Crown Enterprises, creators of Rolemaster, HARP, RMU, Shadow World, and Cyradon. We cover those subjects as well as art, Cher, The Big Bang Theory and the disdain for Rolemaster!

S01E41 After a fractious Folkmoot where the Woodmen gained a new enemy called Mogdred, the estranged son of Ingomer and now lord of Tyrant's Hill, spurned the friendship of the people of East Blight but gained the thanks of settlers of the Black Tarn, it is time to ride north then east on their newly purchased mounts.

S01E40 The spy safely returned to Radagast, much to the ire of Dagmar of Tyrant's Hill, held by Mogdred. Their loyalties may possibly be tending to the Shadow but that is not certain and will require further investigation in the future. But for now, the fellowship have been invited to attend the Folkmoot at Rhosgobel, arranged by a chieftain hoping to gain acceptance by the Woodmen. Most the Woodmen leaders are present, all with an agenda, with some hoping to push that during the meeting. The companions have already spoken to many of them and now it is time for the Folkmoot to start. This is an Adventures in Middle-Earth actual play using the D&D 5e system on Fantasy Grounds.

S01E39 On the trip back to Rhosgobel, to attend the meeting of local leaders at the Folkmoot, the fellowship dealt with a quartet of hobgoblins who had been camping at some old ruins tainted by evil. They also discovered some fine game and some rare herbs just outside the borders of Radagast's domain. Now at Rhosgobel with time to kill, the companions have decided to help out with some of the duties requested by the Brown Wizard.

S01E38 The spider threat removed and the dark underground waters keeping the Goblins at bay, Mountain Hall is safe for now. After resupplying, the fellowship have headed south-east wards, bound for Rhosgobel once again. This time to attend a Folkmoot where the movers and shakers of the Woodmen should be in attendance. After a few uneventful days, the party were investigating some ruins for a likely campsite but it was already occupied by goblin kind, probably Orcs. We join the group as Sigmarr has just asked his comrades if the occupants should be left alone or dealt with..

S01E37 Crossing the bridge in the Dwarven mines below Mountain Hall, the fellowship found dark water filled tunnels. Exploring one led to an ambush by yet more spiders. The skirmish was fierce with Hathus's healing and Sigmarr's withering fire employed to full effect. The spiders fled back to their nest but have left Arahad and Monin immobilised with poison. It is time to return to the surface to rest, recuperate and resupply. This is an Adventures in Middle-Earth actual play using the D&D 5e system on Fantasy Grounds.
