Default BRP as a first game vs. "converting" gamers --

Hello all -

I'm curious about how to give BRP a broader audience among gamers. We, as a culture, are all getting a bit older. And it would be nice to have new gamers come in and sort out how to use this set of rules in the hobby.

From the perspective of my early gaming, BRP was one of my first non-D&D games. It helped me to think of roleplaying in a different light; allowing a fairly flexible rules-set to be used for playing archetypes (RuneQuest) and horror games (Call of Cthulhu).

I'm not interested in BRP becoming the only thing played; that's not reasonable. I am, however, interested in passing the system on to other gamers. Giving them another, very versatile and interesting tool for their kit.

Do you think giving beginning gamers exposure to the system would be more profitable than trying to get gamers who already have preferences and habits to use the system?

Please, let me know what you think - Thanks in advance!
