Video: A conversation with Dr. Nicholas Caldwell of Iron Crown Enterprises (Rolemaster)

I found this video. It is a few months old, but it is a good discussion with the creators of Rolemaster about their current state as a company and game. They have an interesting relationship with the legacy material in that the rights to many of it were lost track of, and they can't get in touch with the original creators. So, they work with "the best way forward" and are trying to appeal to Classic and Standard System fans with the new version.

I get it. They have to make the game profitable, and they can't continue to support both old editions other than support preservation efforts. They need to move forward and unify the fanbase. People will still have their favorite editions, but as a business, they need to build for a profitable future to continue supporting the system and keeping the old books available.

A good video on a great company and their efforts to keep HARP and Rolemaster on game tables.
