I wanted to make the core book the one-stop-shop for BRP gaming, and I think I got pretty damned close. Future supplements will be spared the page count spent on rules, and will be mostly content.

I've talked to Charlie and Dustin about doing a new and updated version of the 16-page BRP booklet with the new rules, and they're enthusiastic. With that, you could play the game, and hypothetically, you could run a simple campaign with non-powered characters and some basic equipment.

Now to find the time...

Good to hear.

Let me add just one thing: A 16p BRP booklet would be ABSOLUTELY great! Maybe just a pdf for download, a cheap teaser to get roleplayers from other systems interested to the BRP book. (call it a demo or so )
