I ran using BRP yes.

Tell me more???

I have had A/State for some time now but the system is not all that great.

What rules did you use generally and how did you go about converting weapons etc? Was it easy?

Well got back at about 2.30 in the morning last night, and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the con. Put some faces to names and played in some great games and playtests. My A/State game also went pretty well, even the player of the character who got beaten up by the rest didn't seem to mind at all

Anyway cheers to all the organizers and those who I played with, see you all at the next one hopefully.

Was this A/State using BRP or the native rules?

It's a "where appropriate" rule, when the skills have some relevance to one another, and is only to be allowed at the GM's approval.

For example, a Science (Mathematics) skill might be halved for a Science (Physics) skill attempt, but a Language (Spanish) would not be useful for a Language (Sanskrit) skill attempt.

The infinite number of potential combinations prevents any hard-and-fast rule about it, or equivalency chart, so the GM should be the final arbiter.

Jason thanks for the reply. OK now I understand why half skill was quoted in the example but not put as a specific rule, more or less could be used at GMs discretion. Cool thanks.

By the way thanks for all the hard work you must have put into BRP it is a great book and I am looking forward to reading more of it.

One of the things I like about it is that I already have a comfortable feeling with these rules despite not having really played any BRP based game since the 80's but the % system is just so damn intuitive.:thumb:

Hi, I have just picked up BRP but I used to own Runequest back in the 80's and also Superworld for a time.

I have been skimming through the new book and have a question on skill specialities.

Using half the score of a related skill is mentioned in the example but not in the text. Is this a hard and fast rule or have I missed it elsewhere?

The book is awesome and is certainly taking me back to my early days of gaming as well as being a good value product for the size of it.

Welcome Conrad! You should check out Berlin '61 when it arrives as a BRP monograph!

SGL.

Hi yes I saw that was on the cards. Certianly will be looking out for that when it arrives. Cheers..

Hi my name is Conrad and Runequest was the first fantasy game that I owned back in the 1980s.

I have played and run a reasonable amount of CoC and Stormbringer but currently no longer own any BRP games. I am hoping to get my hands on the new BRP softcover as soon as it is available in the UK.

I am thinking of an espionage game for BRP so will be interested to see what it can do.

I have fond memories of the BRP system with its sensible experience system and percentage based skills that people can easily relate to.

Looking forward to the adventure.
