My first thought about own mortality and getting old was question myself about the last time I would read the hobbit and LOTR.

CoC rules works in a capitalist context but maybe in a mythic world doesn't fit so well.

BGB is too good and Chaosium's staff knows it. I would rewrite the power section trying to explain how to fit powers systems to specific settings. IMO a system is not dead as long as people keep playing it.

I like the freeform professions aproaching, 250 points to 400 points based on your campaign level or a quick way like Magic world rule of +60 to one skill, +40 to three skills, +20 to four skills.

One of my favourite part of brp is that numbers are really descriptive and mechanics are not intrusive.

A level 1 d&d character with proeficency in athletics and STR 14 for example, against a CD 15 has a 50%

Mmm, I could draw some stuff for this.

That kind of meeting reminds me our roleplaying game association back in the nineties. Now, I understand why most exlusively we played chaosium games.

I've seen that kind of approaching to reading skills results somewhere. Maybe BGB? CoC7?

I first read skills at a capability level and from there I know if a dice roll is needed or not, based frequently on several factors like, enviroment, dramatic opportunity, time ... 15% means different things at differents moments. Just let the game flows and take advantage of the uncertainty factor.

What do you prefer? A dark, gritty, obscure one through deep forests and dangerous seas or a trippy one, dark high fantasy, crazy multiverse travelling, 70s vibe?

We are ready to travel through the multiverse again!

Can't wait! It fits my playing group style like a glove!

You could give a different flavour to your D&D homebrew setting and nothing would change. BRP is a different kind of monster, is flexible, every nuance in mechanics, magic systems or cultures means a lot. It’s suit better to differents approaches to fantasy role playing. Generic has never been a proper term to brp based games. From my point of view brp represents mechanics potential to serving the game or setting. RQG design or CoC7 are great examples. Maybe a new game is not great business, but a huge History of Basic Roleplaying tome would be of great value for homebrewers or people interested in rpg history. (Sorry for my poor english)

Magic world is a big part of our frakenbrp. We use it for s&s alla lieber, howard, moorcock. Lots of fun. We're the lost children of RQ3 and SB
