    Default Looking for Weapons, Equipment and Skills for a BRP Sci-Fi setting

    I'd like to start up a far future BRP campaign. I need to find some source material for weapons, equipment and skills. Is there a resource for this on the web somewhere?

    Will this be included in BRP when it comes out at the end of the month? Or will I have to wait for someone to make up a supplement?

    There's some sample future gear in the BRP book, but if you'd like a more detailed treatment of things, I'd suggest checking out Cthulhu Rising in either monograph or the online .pdf form (if still available).

    Let's try this again, good thing it remembered my post when I hit the back button.

    After determining min/average/max values of one game system then comparing the same amounts from any other game system, you can also do pretty close conversions of equipment. Or you could also do the same thing with just using the averages. So if you wanted to convert a Traveler Fusion Gun Man Portable (FGMP) you could do so by determining the amount of damage it does, the amount of hit points the average Traveler character has then you should be able to extrapolate to a suitable amount for BRP.

    If you don't own a particular rule system, you might be able to find enough info about it on the web. But once you've got a set of values to compare, you can convert the equipment over. Then you can do a little play testing to insure that the conversion is not broken.

    Jason's mentioned the new BRP itself and Cthulhu Rising, so I'll name check a few other possible resources:

    The files section of this yahoo group: brpsystem contains several files you might find useful - the RQIII Technical Expansion (fan conversion to RQIII of GDW's T2K, 2300AD & MegaTraveller weapons and tech), Striker Weapons for BRP, and a few others.

    If you can track it down, one of the volumes of the Worlds of Wonder set is Future*World, an SF BRP game. Also worth looking for, but potentially pricey are FGU's Other Suns, Chaosium's RingWorld (painfully expensive unfortunately) or Other Worlds Games Worlds Beyond.

    Cheers,

    Nick

    You can check out the Cthulhu Rising website: [ CTHULHU RISING: HORROR ROLEPLAYING IN A DARK FUTURE ]

    In their download section you'll find much more than what's found in the pdf.

    Question: Will BRP contain more or less futuristic gear than a) Ringworld and b) FutureWorld.

    If the answer is less then perhaps I ought to get my arse into gear and finish my 'Rongwild' monograph and post it here.

    Less than FutureWorld and much less than Ringworld.

    I hate to promote other systems here, but the SRD for D20 Modern has D20 Future and equipment stuff available for free download.

    Easily converted.

    What you really need are scans of the equipment lists from Worlds of Winder, Ringworld and Other Suns.

    Thanks for all the replies. I found some scans of Worlds of Wonder on the web. This looks pretty good. The Traveller weapons might work as is.
