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

[Atgxtg]

Just don't drool all over the preview.

[Jason Durall]

There's good news, and some "bad" news:

The good news is that Charlie has given me the OK to post preview material, and even offered to provide some stuff. I'm going to get out my wife's digital camera and post a few images of the book, complete with the TEMPORARY cover (which may look familiar to longtime BRP fans).

The "bad" news is that today is my wedding anniversary, and I'm booked for the evening, so it'll have to be tomorrow that I get that stuff out. I'll post it on a new thread on this forum.

BTW, Happy Aniversary.

Fine with us. Another day or two is fine, we weren't expecting instant results. Besides, who would answer our questions and post the preview if you wife throttles you for ignoring you anniversary.

PS,
Thanks Jason!!

Oh, and Thank Charlie, too!

Yeah, no big deal. Hope your plans go well and it's a good night.

[Rurik]

Happy Anniversery.

I hope I will never have to suffer worst news for my part.
Happy Anniversary.

Jason,

as writer of the BRP book, what supplements would you like to see in the pipeline for BRP, if you had your own wishlist what would it be ?

In no particular order:

• A magic powers book expanding the use of magic and sorcery, and adding more like summoning, etc.
• A fantasy setting book leaning more towards the sword-and-sorcery than the elves, dwarves, etc.
• A high fantasy setting book (with the elves, dwarves, etc.) to serve as Chaosium's "new Glorantha"
• A science fiction setting book including spaceship/vehicle rules (combat, construction, customization, etc.) - maybe a revised Worlds Beyond?
• A post apocalyptic setting book
• Historical setting books (ancient Egypt, Japan, Celtic Ireland, etc.)

I'm (hopefully) writing on a book that's none of those, though.

They all sound good to me . I'm curious about the swords and sorcery one, do you mean something like Robert E Howard style swords and sorcery or something altogether different ? Care to elaborate a bit ?

I mean sword-and-sorcery ala Michael Moorcock, Robert E. Howard, Karl Edward Wagner, etc.

A world of humans, with gritty blood-soaked pulpy combat, ancient and evil gods, lost cities, where sorcery is generally evil, and heroes don't go festooned in magic gear bought in the magic equivalent of Wal-Mart.
