What type of setting will you use BRP for first?

[Triff]

What type of setting will you use BRP for first? Fantasy/historical, Modern, Superhero or Sci-fi? Just wondering.

I'm most likely to go for a fantasy setting.

I have always enjoyed Fantasy settings.

Modern and SciFi settings never really did it for me.

For Superhero games I would probably use Champions.

I will do Fantasy to have a pseudo RQ 4.
For superhero, I'm using champions.
I rarely play modern (except JB007, and sometimes CoC).
I very rarely play Sci-Fi (Last time was megatraveller).
If available, I will have a try for western.

Runequestement votre,

I'll be continuing to run my Fading Suns stuff with BRP.

Currently can't decide between:

1) Tales of the Long Night (baroque fantasy project)
2) After the Scouring (converting my RQIII Post-Apocalypse game from last summer)
3) Jorune (finishing the coversion I started three or four years back)
4) Children of Leviatahn (lost colony SF project)...

So SF or Fantasy, but not sure which (so I can't Vote as you have to pick one...)

Cheers,

I would really like to give sci-fi a try. Maybe some TOS Star Trek-ish thing.

Modern is another interesting option; probably some good ol' Survival Horror (I am a big fan of Romero's zombie movies). Or Pulp.

If I were to do some fantasy, I would probably do something like post-apocalyptic fantasy...

It's a toss-up between a purely historical backdrop of the Napoleonic wars or a historical/fantasy backdrop (using Ars Magica) of the Third Crusade. The preference in my group seems to be towards the latter, thus I'm interested to see what the BRP magic systems are like and if I can port the Ars Magica system to BRP, use BRP with some Ars Magica bells and whistles, or use Ars Magica wholesale. In the end I'll probably do my usual; "Roll some dice and make stuff up".

[Rurik]

Either going to try out some Second Age Glorantha with BRP (obviously using some magic outside core book) or Western (somewhere between Spaghetti Western and Unforgiven).

[PK Games]

Think I will just spend and evening here and an evening there having the characters and monsters in the bestiary just go at it.

Gunslingers vs Zombies
Killer Robots vs Vampires
Galactic Knights vs Xenomorph

and of course

Ninja vs Pirate

My original plan was to hit the ground running with a swords and sorcery fantasy game using a world that I came up with a while back. And that may still happen, but when I put together the two Crouching Tiger knock off characters (in the Rogues' Gallery thread) I found myself wanting to head straight into a wuxia wonderland. I was surprised to see just how well I could realize that kind of character with BRP.* They manage to catch the flavor without a bunch of complicated rules or absurdly-named powers dragging them down.

Heck, I think if I were careful about it I could run a wuxia-esque asian fantasy game for my players who have long insisted that they didn't want to play in a wuxia game and they might not even realize it was happening at first. Just start them off as "unpowered" soldiers and such, do an adventure or two where things are "normal" asian fantasy (look! hopping vampire! kill it!) and slowly amp up the wuxia until they're into it. Or not.

Anyway, I voted fantasy/historical since I'm sure that's where I'll wind up. Unless my itch for something wild west-y flares up again. Or maybe a mad desire to run a short, street-level heroes Superworld thing will overtake me. Damn, the possibilities really are endless



* I know, I know. I shouldn't have been. BRP is wonderful and great and can do anything. But I was still surprised
