Hello, fellow BRP enthusiasts.

I'm in the USA, near Boston. I'm thirty-four and a player of BRP games since the mid 1980's (and other RPGs from a few years before that). The Chaosium/ BRP-derived game I have most experience with are Pendragon and Elfquest, though I've played some Runequest and a good deal of Call of Cthulhu. I'm not running a game at the moment, but I hope that will change in a few months' time.

I came chiefly to learn about the new version of the BRP rules, and I am pleased to note how much discussion (and in such detail) has been had on this topic, as I'm looking forward to getting a copy of the new BRP rules when they're released to stores; getting an advance copy (or any non-essential spending) being beyond my means in the immediate present tense.

Welcome Celhan!

Hi, everybody!

I've just joined the forums on BRP Central and thought I'd say "hi".

The foundations of my interest in BRP was laid when I picked The Lord of the Rings trilogy 'way back in 1973.

My roleplaying experience was kicked off 1976 when I started patio-top gaming with the 2nd edition Chainmail rules (I "roleplayed" the commander of an elven left flank). In 1977 I was intro'd by some of the same friends to D&D in the white box and in 1980 discovered 2nd edition Runequest and Traveller. I haven't gone back to D&D until this month and then only because I can't convince the group I game with to play Runequest. That may change with the release of BRP.

I've done a bit of playtesting for various games over the years, including Brilliant Lances for GDW, GURPS Traveller for Steve Jackson Games, and now BRP for Chaosium.

I'm very proud of what Chaosium has accomplished with the upcoming version of BRP and hope you all will get at least as many years of enjoyment from it as I have from Runequest.

Hi Daefaroth and welcome!

You know, this is the first game board that I have been to that has made me feel young. Usually I am one of the oldest gamers around (37), here it is like I'm a spring chicken.

Same for me (I'm 40).

Runequestement votre,

First started playing RQ with the Games Workshop in 1982 and branched out into pretty much every other Chaosium game afterwards. Didn't touch ElfQuest with a stick. Played many other games, DC Heroes being my favourite. Played RQ3 to death and even had a badly mangled article printed in Heroes once it went downhill. HeroWars/Quest never really grabbed me and drifted out of RPGdom into CCGs and boardgames.

Happily playing a house-ruled version of MRQ and looking forward to seeing more about BRP. Not into the BRP culture wars.

Hello deleriad!

Welcome to the board! I think you'll recognize some of our other regulars here!

Though I fought in the front line during the culture worlds, I'm still pretty excited to see how Blood of Orlanth turns out, and how easy it will be to convert.

Hey folks,

My name is Kevin McDonald from North Carolina, USA, and I have been playing BRP games starting with RuneQuest 2nd ed back in 1980. Since then I have played RQ3, CoC, Stormbringer/Elric, and SuperWorld. I ran a Glorantha SA game last year using RQ2 as written - no house rules! It was very interesting. Right now I am playing in a SuperWorld game (playing Fat Man and Little Boy - Atomic Heroes!).

I have a bunch of MRQ books, but haven't been able to talk my group into trying it.
