Okay, I am basically back now but I'm not going to get into anything until tomorrow. I'm absolutely exhausted, still have no water or refrigerator (or stove), and all my furniture is lined-up against the walls until they bring the fridge in. I haven't had a real night's sleep more or less since I moved in and I doubt I'll get one tonight unless I get a surge of energy which allows me to clear the bed. And seeing as how I'm not too keen on sleeping on that old mattress and don't know how to clean it... moving on.

I actually did get a copy of D&D 3.5 at some point along the way and I've been leisurely reading it, but while moving, I realized exactly how much of the Rolemaster system I have. I always loved RM, but it's no easy system. It's expansive, complex, and downright confusing - but it is also probably the best FRP system ever created.

One thing I have is a really nice map and some scant details for what was apparently my campaign world. Seeing as how we only ever played the game a handful of times, I've no idea when I developed these materials, but I broke-out War Law and thought I was going to do something with it. Again, RM is incredibly complex, so I have done nothing so far.

I am looking for a copy of the PC-compatible program, Warcom, for use with the system. If anyone knows where to locate it or can send it my way, I'd really appreciate it. I'll gladly publish my campaign if I can run a few wars here and there to flesh it out.

I found it; I had it all along, just on a different CD. I still can't run it because Vista does not support full-mode DOS screens. Stupid, huh? And I can't simply hook-up the 98 box because I came across the mouse for it yesterday or the day before and consciously thought to put it somewhere I could find it when I needed it... and I forgot where that is.

I am going to develop a campaign based on Mayfair's Role Aids supplements under GURPS. Now that I have Warcom, I will go ahead and begin writing a rich history for my RM world at war.
