I recently picked up the gold book (the BGB?), though I haven't had much chance to dive in when this came out. From what I'm reading, though, I'm not sure if I should. My Chaosium games experience is surprisingly very limited considering how long I've been playing and running games. I will not touch CoC, and there's a whole big story as to why, and those issues made me very leery of playing anything that was BRP related. But then came Rivers of London, and that turned my head around. In fact, Rivers of London is what I'm planning to run soon, and I was really hoping to see all these amazing, simplified rules for that game in this book to use for other games I want to design with this. But if I'm reading things right, I think I'm in for a big disappointment.
