Official Cover and Release Announcement

[Jack Tar]

Looks like it's so popular that the Chaosium site has crashed. At least at the moment there is no connection, and I can only hope this is because of overwhelming views of the site.

Also, my thanks to Jason. What a job he has. It may not make him rich, but I can only dream of steeping myself in RPGs and making money from it. Maybe one day, when I win the lottery I can give it the time it requires and I desire....

Hi Jason,

Let me just add my voice to the chorus.

I can only offer my thanks, (and a personal purchase of BRP aswell as a couple for my company), with regards to the new version of a system that has always been my favorite.

I am very fond of the cover and hope that it inspires people (particularly those that may take the context of the image seriously), to look over and choose BRP when they're in their LFGS.

Before I sign off, just a personal remark about how I've been using BRP0 at work recently. I work as a tutor with disaffected young people, trying to re-engage them with learning. Over the past month or so my I've been introducing role-playing to these students as a 'fun' way of getting to grips with basic 'Numeracy' skills in preparation for more structured learning.

I've just started a post-grad specializing in working/teaching these young people and had my first teaching observation on Tuesday. The session observed was the rolling of characters, determining 'average' characteristic scores and deriving information from numerical tables.

My Uni lecturer said that she thought that "It was the best session she had ever seen for introducing and motivating this client group in the subject of Mathamatics".

So I hope that it means something for you that your work is being successfully used to help/educate some of the more dis-engaged learners in our society, (in the UK that is). I don't mean for this thread to bring a tear to your eye or anything (lol), but I for one really appreciate the time and effort that you have put into BRP, and into the answering of our questions and (sometimes inappropriate) criticisms.

Thanks for opening the portal into the next stage of my gaming journey with my favorite system.

With Kindest Regards and Thanks.

Ken

Although I liked the simplicity of the "Chaosium dragon" cover, this new cover is much, much better than that "Aztec-meets-UFO" cover that was shown a few months back.

At least this one hints strongly at the possible directions you can take with BRP.

Can I have my copy with the original full colour "Aztec-meets-UFO" cover please...

What a brilliant concept and nicely carried out as well. Not only is it cool, but it will not seem as embarassing to carry around in public as some other role playing stuff.
