  1. That's not going to work for me. We're going to be using this on Roll20, and the vagueness of those rules are not going to mesh with a map. Given the lethal nature of combat, Players are going to want to do more than take cover and shoot it out; they're going to want to maneuver. But it should be pretty easy to house-rule it. Thanks for the input and the link; now I know I didn't read the rules incorrectly.
  2. Really impressed with the 7th Ed system so far, but one thing isn't clear to me: movement within combat. As I'm reading the rules, you can move (usually around 25' based on age & Size), and also make an attack (multiple attacks, if using a suitable firearm and taking the appropriate penalties. Or instead of an attack, take a non-attack action. Is this correct? If you forgo an attack, can you move more?
  3. I would like to see them, if it is not too much trouble.
  4. I'm looking at a long-term CoC campaign, and I was thinking that a more developed PC growth option would be a good thing. The rules cover skills, but what about improving attributes? I had some vague idea of awarding points for Role-play, ideas, etc, and having X number of these 'reward points' translate into a 1 point increase to an attribute (not Size, Luck, or Magic).
  5. So I'm reading through CoC 7th Ed, and the list of dire tomes shows each book having a 'Mythos Rating'. I can't seem to find a definition for this. Can someone help a noob out?
  6. Sounds interesting. What system?
  7. Pinterest (free account) is loaded with free maps create by people who just like making maps. I've been using VTTs for year, most recently Roll20. They have plenty of tokens, except for top-down. I stop by and grab a map or two every single day. Deviant Art (not what it sounds like) has plenty of maps. Oones Maps are on Drive-thru are superb, and inexpensive. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/61/0one-Games
  8. Dark Tower, Judges Guild 1978. Unpolished, as most JG products, but I've had wonderful times with it. Carved in Stone, a Columbia Games scenario for Harn, but it would work in any low fantasy setting. Normally CG is not the best for adventures, but this one is excellent. And the old AD&D G-series, Against the Giants.
  9. Well, my copy of the 4th Edition (copyright 2008) has the same cover as the Copyright 2022 version (yellow cover with Da Vinci-style sketch), and the art inside lines up. I hope they're the same.
  10. Long time gamer (started 1979) just turned on to BRP. Have recently switched from F2F to Roll20 (and love it), and the search for a good system supported by Roll20 led me to BRP (literally three days ago). I have three questions that a forum search couldn't solve: 1) I just bought the core rules on Drive-thru. Later, shuffling through my poorly-organized pdf collection, I discovered I had the Core Rules 4th edition. Is there any difference? The reason I ask, is that 4th edition pdf can be high-lighted and noted on my Ipad, whereas the one I just bought can't. 2) Where can I buy a copy of Aces High? 3) Is there a monster compendium, or should I just refer to the various setting books. Thanks.
