[Rq-rules] Re: MERP

[grogthing]

I must be the odd one out, but I enjoyed playing and
running MERP. It was one of the mainstays of my old
high school rp group, along with Traveller, Boothill
and Twilight 2000. Many fond memories.

I have heard many people complain about using tables,
but I have never had a problem with tables. Roll a
dice...look at the proper row...fast..no problem.
