There are some very insightful points comming out of this.
1. My secret fear of BRP dying unexpectedly has been outed. I seem to have spent the last 20 years waiting for releases that never happened or took too long. E.g. Corum in the early nineties. The postponing of release dates etc.
2. We're not getting any younger. I too hope to teach my 10 month son BRP but that won't be for a few years yet.
3. Hope for BRP in europe. Hope Chaosium realise this and get foreign language translations out quick. I seem to remember a post on the MRQ forum where some Spanish guys were asking about a Spanish translation. Get in there first.
4. As great as CoC is, it has limited appeal and it won't bring in as many converts as it deserves.
5. Chaosiums record with support doesn't bode well for the future. Will they do something different this time round?
Rather sobering. I agree that getting young blood in, deserves a thread of its own.
Not to keen on D20 myself, but I feel there are marketing lessons to be learnt there.
