Mine arrived yesterday; I've only skimmed and read bits and pieces, but it seems a solid piece of work. I'll probably have some questions for Jason (though as usual everyone else can chime in) when I get some time later today.

Got my BRP book yesterday. I like the bleed and crushing rules. I can see myself being busy for the next few months.

Got it 45 minutes ago. It is wonderful. Wish they had published it in this format 20 years ago. But I am still happy I have it now.

*Ahem*

Care to repost this to rpg.net?

I'm trying to get people to get it on the top 100 core rulebooks!

Finally got my copy from my FLGS! No real time to do more than glance through and notice the artwork goes from good to passable and that it seems very organized.

Quickly glanced at a few sections concerning the adventure I'm writing for the BRP contest, and was remindered why I love this old, familiar system so much. Other than needing some historic and plot details, the rest I could have run pretty much on-the-fly.

It still seems amazing to me that we didn't get BRP in this form at least 10 years sooner.

Anyway, nice work Jason, Sam and the rest of the people who made this happen. Better late than never!

I FINALLY got mine today. I've looked it over at lunch and I have to say, Jason you and Sam did a real bang-up job! The book is written for beginners in mind yet made for seasoned gamers who want to branch out and don't mind doing some of the conversion work on their own. My only pet peeves--I wish there was a section on Priestly magic and that the major wounds table was a little more like the old Perrin/ Hargrave critical hit charts for those who don't want to use hit locations but like rolling a "01" and seeing what bloody mayhem transforms! None the less, thease are minor issues and can easly be adjudicated by any experienced GM.Five stars all the way!
