Hi everyone,
Sarah here - I recently posted an intro on the BRP egroup also, so I'll try and keep this intro short! Glad to be aboard the forum, thanks to Triff and everyone for getting this thing going and to Jason for putting together what looks to be an exciting pre- or post-Christmas prezzie! Looking forwards very much to seeing BRP in its new and spiffy incarnation.
I've been BRPing since 1981 or so, starting with RQ but also including CoC, WoW, Ringworld, Stormbringer, Hawkmoon, Elfquest, Pendragon and ... and... actually I think that's about it
I've played tons of other RPGs too, in particular Traveller, Arduin, the Evil Game That Dare Not Speak Its Name (1st and 3rd editions), Space Opera, various Gamma World incarnations, and, most recently, HeroQuest.
I have a soft spot for Glorantha, and am looking to BRP to provide an elegant and up-to-date crunchy d% ruleset to more or less do what HQ currently does, only crunchier (if that makes sense), particularly with reference to high-level (Rune Level and above) play. Basically I want to be able to use BRP as the mechanics, and HQ for all the keyword and background and cultural stuff. Lots more to say on that topic, but I'll hold off for now! I'm also interested to see what BRP can do in the scifi space, as Ringworld was a thing of beauty.
Thanks,
Sarah
