The Mannish Mines - In The Shadow Of The Mountains S01E33 ( Adventures in Middle-Earth D&D 5e RPG actual play )
RPG - Rolemaster & Adventures in Middle-Earth - Wolfshield Actual PlayShow Notes
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 river. The party went to sleep in their rented house, relieved to have a warm bed again. Alas, the rest was short lived as they were assaulted by orcs in the night, the foul band led by the huge orc warrior last seen in the temple at the Dwimmerhorn. The evil creatures were all slain, Hathus again raining down killing blows, but Arahad was knocked senseless in the melee. We join the party after a fellowship phase after 3 or 4 months have passed. Arahad, quickly healed by Hathus after the fight, stayed with the fellowship to travel with them to Rhosgobel. All, except Hathus, spent time cleansing themselves of some shadow points with the scholar instead performing research on the chain, the dark spirit and The Dwimmer horn. Radagast was able to impart some knowledge on all three. The fellowship phase has now finished and the companions are on their way back to Mountain Hall to investigate the mines where Goblins have been heard...

This is the last episode of the three part interview with one of my personal heroes, Pete Fenlon, founder of Iron Crown Enterprises, Rolemaster and Middle Earth Roleplaying. In this episode, Pete tells us about the fall of ICE into bankruptcy, why it happened, what happened afterwards but also a light hearted look at some of those monikers used in the credits page of the MERP rule book. As mentioned in the previous episode due to technical issues I had to enhance the audio which makes it sound a artificial in places. Many thanks to Pete for his time with this. If you prefer visuals, it is also released on my YouTube channel (Wolfshield Games).
This is the second part of three part interview with the legendary Pete Fenlon, founder of Iron Crown Enterprises, Rolemaster and Middle Earth Roleplaying, aka MERP. Last episode we talked about the founding of ICE and RM, in this episode we cover the Retooling ICE, Early ICE releases, the 1982 breakthrough, acquiring the Middle-earth License which lead to MERP, and ICE at its zenith. As mentioned in the previous episode due to technical issues I had to beef up the audio which makes it sound a little weird in places. If you prefer visuals, it is also released on my YouTube channel (Wolfshield Games).
Pete Fenlon, founder of Iron Crown Enterprises, visionary behind Rolemaster and Middle Earth Role Playing, expert cartographer, driver behind the spread of Catan and so much more, was kind enough to spare some time to chat with me. We talked about the beginnings of ICE, the launch of Rolemaster, its development, how MERP came about and how it too was developed. He was also open enough to go into the bad years of ICE descent into bankruptcy and what happened afterwards Unfortunately, we had a technical issue where Pete's mic refused to work, after over an hour and a half we gave up and conducted the interview via a phone call with him on speaker and me recording him on my mic. The audio quality suffered so I've used some sound editing tricks to try to improve the quality but it does fail on a few occasions. Sorry about that. The interview is split into three episodes and I'm sure it would make sense to release these timed over days or weeks to grow the channel and drive engagement or whatever I'm supposed to do but, I'm happy with where this podcast is at. If you prefer visuals, it is also released on my YouTube channel (Wolfshield Games). Anyway, here's the first one where we talk about ICE's early days.
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.
