A Quick Look Back
Rolemaster started back in the early '80s with Iron Crown Enterprises (ICE) and has been around in various forms ever since. It kicked off as a set of add-ons for other games and eventually evolved into its own full-fledged system. Over the years, it's become a cult favourite for its flexibility and flavour.
