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=c2kFSTDu1g...

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!  

S01E42 Final episode. The fellowship intend to make the Festival of the Five Armies in Dale but to do so requires riding through tough terrain and lawless hills first before the more pastoral lands closer to city. We join them as they leave Rowanhold. This is an Adventures in Middle-Earth actual play using the D&D 5e system on Fantasy Grounds. You can find session summaries, items and characters o...

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. This is an Adventures in Middle-Earth actual play using the D&D 5e system on Fan...

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 Woodm...

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 duti...

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 likel...

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...

Still watch this series, live or the recording, most Fridays at 19.00ish UTC: https://www.twitch.tv/majykfngrz S01E42 (Final Episode) All the artefacts have been found! The party have exited Tarek Nev to find out that the three days inside the cursed city was about a week outside it. Returning to pick up their mentally fatigued party members, Cherry and Numal, from V'rama Vair's palace the reunite...

S01E36 Still in the Dwarven mines below Mountain Hall, the fellowship fought and defeated a huge spider and its brood. A bridge across a chasm invites further exploration as does some of the un-investigated tunnels at this depth in the mines. We join them just after the battle. This is an Adventures in Middle-Earth actual play using the D&D 5e system on Fantasy Grounds. You can find session summar...

S01E41 (Penultimate Episode) Under the ruined arena of Tarek Nev is a hydra guarding an island of crystals surrounded by swirling water, any of which could be the final artefact the questers need. The puzzle of how to drop the protective rainbow shield about the island has been solved and now the beast must be overcome. This is a Rolemaster Classic Actual Play set in Terry K Amthor's excellent Sha...

S01E35 The companions have ventured into the mines below Mountain Hall to investigate how much a threat the goblins pose. Discovering a hidden Dwarven mine, they explored its dark tunnels to find it still inhabited by a nest of spiders. After a quick brutal fight the fellowship resolve to heal up and move further in. This is an Adventures in Middle-Earth actual play using the D&D 5e system on Fant...

S01E40 Exploring the ruined arena of Tarek Nev, the companions have bested invisible and then camouflaged demonic entities, taking mortal wounds along the way. Now a door, leading in under the seating around the fighting pit, bars their path. Will this be the room that holds the final artefact?   This is a Rolemaster Classic Actual Play set in Terry K Amthor's excellent Shadow World using Fantasy...

S01E34 The tapping of goblins working the rock deep beneath them has prompted the fellowship to explore the mines of Mountain Hall to ascertain the level of threat they pose. The underground foray was uneventful until two old rock plugs were discovered, the level of workmanship only possible by dwarven hands. The larger one has been breached and we join the group as they crawl their way through in...

S01E39 Giving up the hunt for Sylke the rogue-less and mage-less companions have continued to look for the final artefact, the other portal rod, in the nearest unexplored major structure. This turned out to be an arena, surrounded by the serpent infested waters of the bay. It appeared largely empty. While investigating one of two rooms off the arena floor, the party were attacked by chained invisi...

S01E33 On returning to Mountain Hall with news of the evil fortress, The Dwimmerhorn, the companions were accused of ill deeds by Hartfast. The reason for his change of attitude was the presence of their old enemy, Magric. The fellowship argued their case well so Magric, knowing the tide was turning, stabbed Hartfast and fled, only to be cut down by arrows as he floundered in the icy mountain rive...

S01E38 The demon possessed Sylke is being hunted by the party. Fighting their way through more child-like demons and their taller whip wielding wranglers, they tracked her to a ruined tower with the help of the blue sprite, one of Mab's servants maybe. Ugnan used a herb to speed himself up to Sylke's location but was unable to hold her with a spell, taking a shock bolt from her for his troubles. I...

S01E32 Normally, I summarise the previous session here in the notes but John, our GM, does this after a short chat about the weather so a quick summary then: Dwimmerhorn has been scouted and the presence of an ancient evil artefact has been discovered, the party had to escape and are now making their way back to Mountain Hall to tell Lord Hartfast of their discovery. This is an Adventures in Middl...

S01E37 Sylke lost her fight with a shadowy entity which now possesses her. Despite the companions' best efforts, the new owner was able to use the magician's considerable arcane talents to evade capture, running off into the murk of the demon city of Tarek Nev. The hunt for the last artefact must be suspended while she is chased down and somehow restrained. This is a Rolemaster Classic Actual Play...

S01E31 With Byrgol's help the imposing Dwimmerhorn was found. Much more than a tower it was a collection of several stone buildings atop a steep hill. Clambering up an old goat track, Sigmarr was able to make some initial observations and report back. This threat was too much for Amalfrida who left during the night to warn and help defend her people. Fortunately, a Dunadan ranger called Arahad was...

S01E36 Cherry and Numal will take time to recover their wits before venturing out into Tarek Nev again. Fortunately two survivors from a downed skyship have decided to join the group of adventurers. Time will tell if the Laan archer Acor and Snarkel, a Nomari warrior, are adequate replacements. Continuing their search for the final artefact, the other portal rod, the party came upon a stone area i...

S01E30 On the way back to Mountain hall, the party had to defeat a terrifying Hill Troll. Its lair yielded a nice bag of gold which lifted the companions' spirits. Once at the hold in the mountains, they told Hartfast of Magric's betrayal, Wellar's rescue, Byrgol's aims and that the threat from the Dwimmerhorn was real according to the rescued man. Hartfast would need time to assemble a force to c...

S01E35 The Temple of Dark Gods claimed two of the party. Although, powerful healing herbs brought them back to life and restored them they are worn out and wish only to rest. Sylke has rejoined the party though the demon haunted city is taking a toll on her mental well-being. The companions need to head back to the palace, rest, recuperate and take stock.   This is a Rolemaster Classic Actual Play...

S01E29 Previously on: Walar, the slave from the Dwimmerhorn, spoke of the many orcs, wargs and slaves at the evil fortress. With this information the party withdrew northwards to the Gladden to rendezvous with their water transport, manned by two fishermen. They never showed so could be assumed to have been waylaid by orcs. As the adventurers waited they met a hobbit, Byrgol, the last of his commu...

S01E34 One of the Portal rods and the Aisling Stone have been recovered but at a cost. Only Victoria has exited the tomb unscathed. Cran has suffered multiple wounds but will live though the rest of their companions' fates hang in the balance. Numal has been battered into unconsciousness, Ugnan possibly dead with a heart attack and a heavily bleeding Cherry has been mauled by a large silver salama...
