BRP is very easy to use for casual Gamers.
My wife is not a gamer, and the only game she likes is Call of Cthulhu. It is a really easy game to grasp because everyone inherently understands percentages. What Sneak 45% means is obvious to a non gamer. The difference between Libaray use 75% and Library use 25% is obvious.
You don't NEED to use opposed rolls, just use simple Spot and Sneak rolls for new gamers if you think they are too complicated to grasp at first. Honestly though, I think opposed rolls may be easier to accept for a new group of players who have not been conditioned by 20 or more years of BRP to think lower is always better. However the fact that people have been playing for almost 30 years without opposed rolls shows the system works without them.
