Kevin here from Vancouver Island - I've been playing RPGs for more than 20 years, a lot of that time as a game master. I'm looking forward to the BRP final release ( I have a proof copy - very cool!) and converting some of my games to BRP.
Currently working on several BRP projects relating to Call of Cthulhu and looking forward to seeing the full system in action!

Welcome Kevin! What number are you?

Got copy number 312 and am just getting into the real details of the system - very interesting so far!
Was glad to have found this site too - always nice to discuss the game with peers!

I'm from Sweden, been playing for 15 years, but with a break for five six year and recently started playing again. The main thing I like about BRP is that it gets out of the way quickly. It aint a system that wants to be seen. It kind of stays in the shadows until it's called for, then it comes out, does its thing and then continues to lurk in the dark until the next time it is needed to settle this or that.

At the moment I run a CoC campaign and a Deadlands campaign (reloaded with Savage Worlds rules). I also dream of getting time to run some Spirit of the Century, find people to play Polaris with and get drunk and play Baron Munchhausen. Well that's it I think. =)

Greetings. My name is Gerald E. Kuster and I was born in December of 1962.
I started roleplaying back with the very first edition of D&D. Back when it was just 3 small books in a brown box.

Since then I've played every genre of rpg that has ever been released. Although nowadays I tend more toward horror, pulp, and, sword and sorcery style games. I started BRP games back with the first edition of CoC. From there I moved into Stormbringer, Ringworld, Cthulhu by Gaslight, Hawkmoon, and, Elfquest.

I'm eger to the BRP system book since I'm looking to pick up something that serve as a foundation system to several ideas that I have for interconnected settings.

[quote=Trifletraxor;12480]Welcome to BRP Central MurfinMS! What kind of BRP incarnation are you playing now?


Right NOW, our mob is currently playing homebrew RQ; all using the group modified house rules (which were modified prior to me joining the mix) which is still essentially RQ3, with some Uber-Ikky RQ4 mechanics grafted on (Fatigue levels and pre and post melee meovement? *Feh!*) and, increasingly, some Mongoose mechanics, including the dropping of SR for action ranks; the only good side of which *I* see from the switch is that movement actually happes *during* melee again--which, as a fan of RQ3, *I* prefer.
On the occasion I end up running anything, I still use my only
*slightly* modified RQ3 (with some pretty minor rulesy bits cadged from CoC/DG, BRP, Elric, Heroes magazine, the WWWeb, and a somewhat simplified version of Sandy's Sorcery Rules).
As for whats on the horizon, the guy currently running our RQ game is getting tired of running anf wants to *play* again. Two of the others want to run stuff again; one her homebrew RQ world she's been running off-n-on since it was D&D, while the other wants to run a Post Apocalypse gaem which, on hearing about it, is essentially a Rifts game, but using BRPish rules.
In addition to the 2 previously=mentioned RQ games, in the past we've played several stripes of Cthulhu (*with* and *without* Cthulhu) /Modern Horror drifting toward a cyberpunky near future using BRPish mechanics; a Shadowrun game using same; a cool Highlander/ World Newton game uisng same; and a Cyberpunk/ Rifts game using CP2020 mechanics.

"World Newton"? What's this?
