I published a fanzine (The Sorcerer's Scrolls) from 1984-1989 and have been published over time in a variety of media.

What kind of fanzine was The Sorceror's Scrolls?

In fair disclosure when it comes to MRQ debates, I did write a couple books for Mongoose (Tales of the Black Kingdom and books 2 and 3 of Messantia) but I agree that as a publisher Mongoose has issues, but I tend not to assume it's because their evil....just learning.

These days, I'm playing GURP 4E, an occasional CoC game, MRQ semi-weekly and AD&D 2nd edition once or twice a month with some old diehard hippy grognards that I only just convinced to move on from 1E AD&D. When BRP comes out, I fully expect to start running it weekly, of course!

Good to hear! Welcome aboard!

I'll bite: Hi Frank.

However, the first time I played Runequest (2nd Ed.), I realized what RPGs could be: skill-based, rules-light, and generalized beyond combat and trap-detection. I've been following BRP through the years, especially in its Cthuloid mutation, and with the imminent(?) release of Basic Roleplaying I hope that it will attract a wider audience.

What Cthulhu settings have you been playing?

So, hello BRP world, and I hope to have some interesting discussions (but not in the Chinese curse way).

Hehe, nothing like the post-release times on the MRQ forum?

Welcome aboard!

SGL.
