Q&A's with the new BRP author version 2.0

[Trifletraxor]

Winter 2008, that can mean February too, or even March!

I hope you're right about a preview edition. Something pdf-like to get us going.

SGL.

Yeah, something to hold off their frothing fans! Throw us a bone please.

Hey Jason,
Is there anyone specific that us BRP junkies can cry to , beg, or fast talk (befuddle, harmonize, mug, threated, feed to a dark troll) to persuade Chasoium to give us a fix? Even a peek at the character sheet?

I've reach the point where the ISBN's not holding off the withdrawl symptoms anymore.

Some sort of email link could be a good way for Chasoium to gauge what sort of demand there is for BRP?

[Jason Durall]

I'll pass word along.

It's really a question of resources, though, and they're a pretty small company.

Thanks.


And it doesn't have to be much. Just a jpg or two from the pdf would be nice (and something requiring little resources). Even a character sheet.

Still proof-reading? So is there time to change the spelling to "basiQ Roleplaying"?

I just think the name "basic roleplaying" is a bit too dull. The old advertising trick of mis-spelling might help. Also, of course, it's got the letters R and Q in it, reminiscent of it's heritage. And that'd open up possibilities for a daring cover title design, like...


Chaosium
_B
_a
_s
_i
RQleplaying

Or maybe we could just have the first L in Roleplaying sort of be at a 45-degree angle and intersect the O, making it RQ EPLAYING?

I'll run that by Chaosium. I'm sure they'll go for it...

On a more serious note, I've emailed Chaosium about putting up some sort of preview, no matter how informal. I'll see what they decide to let me do.

However, this is really their baby, and they're the ones who ultimately are going to decide how to promote it, so no hard feelings at all if they decide to handle things themselves.

[drohem]

Yeah, we understand your position Jason.

Yeah, we won't blame you if they say no. Thanks for the effort.If someone gives you flak the rest of us will back you up. Consider yourself warded (hey, I had to look through MW to get the right spell).

Oh, BTW, if Chaosium doesn't have space for a preview on their site, I think Triff might be persuaded to host a page or two here. Of course that would give him first peek, but I think he could handle that. Well, perhaps "persuades" is the wrong word. More like we have to beat him back with a stick to keep him from bitting your hand off with the (virtual) paper.

I'll might be able to find some space...

Yum!
