In the mean while some of us had played Rolemaster by ICE and some other games as well. And being university students we were more demanding than before. Some changes to the actual rules were made by others and I completely recreated the whole game engine. I also made more improvements to various sheets the players had and a friend of mine made an MS Excel workbook to aid the GM in his colossal task of running a world. The workbook has now been revised and there are about twenty different sheets the GM has to keep players and the whole world in order.
More renovations are constantly on the way.
The new stats were soul stats that controlled the development of skills. I am satisfied with the outcome what comes to the first objective. However, the game is far from being easier - it is different, but not easier. As I reduced the time and effort needed to do one task I added new features so that the overall time consumption remained the same. Well, you can't get everything - especially if you are a perfectionist.
