What type of setting will you use BRP for first?

aww...I like d20 Modern.

I voted Fantasy, because most likely, it will be using my fantasy world, but I'm more apt to use it for a Sci-Fi game than any other set of rules, well except maybe GURPS.

I voted Fantasy, or to be more precise, Glorantha.

I started my group on the RQ2 borderlands campaign. We're using RQ2 as the base as I wanted to show them Old School, after previously running some HeroQuest sessions.

As RQ2 is a little light on options, I have been picking out house rules from RQ3. This was beginning to become a headache, when trying to find anything to answer a query.

I was contemplating doing a kind of RQ2/3 summary for my players, when I heard about the new BRP book.

All the best rules from RQ, Stormbringer, CoC and Pendragon inside one cover.

Absolutely brilliant!

From now on, all my RQ Glorantha based games, will be based on BRP.

Loving the book.

I voted for "fantasy or historical" because it's the most inclusive category.

The game I'm working on now takes place in an alternate-history Victorian setting with some "retro-advanced" technology I cribbed from various Scientific Romances, plus sorcery. I am toying with the idea of adding in some exploration of other planets to throw in a dash of Sword-and-Planet, but I'm wondering if I'd better save that for an in-game plot twist.

"Return to the Hyborian kingdoms" is the most likely option for my group, picking up where our last RQ3 game left off - although, really, anything is possible.

It's a game idea I've been toying with for years, and I think I'm going to finally do. Every bad horror, spy and action flick I've seen over the years on third copy vhs will be turned into a game.
I tried to do it with d20 a while back, not so much. Call of Cthulhu basically did it, but it's nice to have a more modular set to play with. I lost my Runequest books a few years back and never bothered to replace them. BRP's new edition was "right around the corner" there for a couple years. Well, glad I waited. It's a perfect fit for a lot of the ideas I've been playing with.

If so, you might enjoy the Matinee Monsters supplement for GORE and Berlin '61, currently under development by PK Games.

For myself, I'd lean towards a science fantasy or historical type campaign, either something Flash Gordon-ish or an Ivanhoe/Robin Hood scenario.

I actually downloaded Berlin '61, and have been reading it at work instead of doing my job. So far I've been pretty impressed with it from a production standpoint. It was definitely done on a shoestring, but the lo fi thing works in its favor, the text itself is pretty quality.

Care to add your opinion in the review section when you have had time to read it thru?

Yeah, but it may take a week or longer to get through it considering how often I have to pull up a work friendly screen and pretend I care. I'll be sure to throw something up there when I'm done, though.
