8 / 10MarcRoThis book would be a 10, as the content is all there, but it's organized almost randomly at times.
7 / 10ShannonAThe original RM2 version of Rolemaster was a great look at a heavy simulation system.
6 / 10SkiorhtIt's big, it's fun, and it's a mess. The core rules for Rolemaster are far less complex than people usually think, but the haphazard organisation makes them seem quite Byzantine.
4 / 10GyrfalconIf I want a complex games system, I'll boot up my computer.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
