Ah, um, sorry. That probably wont happen. I originally wrote AH as a home brew mixture of CoC and RQ3 many years before I even knew what BRP was and it probably wouldn't have gotten any further until I stumbled across Chaosium calling for BRP monographs. I submitted it because I really like their system and have always played it, not because they paid me for it (!) or even because I thought someone else might like it. I submitted it purely because it was Chaosium. While this recent 'kickstarter issue' did/does bother me somewhat (understatement) I would need some serious convincing and soul searching before I even started to consider defecting to another company or d100 derivative. I have a lot of time and money invested in Aces HIgh but nowhere near as much as I have invested in Chaosium over the years. If BRP dies, or, (unknowable horror!) Chaosium dies it is entirely likely that Aces HIgh will die with it in a funk of the deepest darkest depression. Anything I have that I think might be worthy may end up here, probably at the same quality level that I submitted the first two AH books. That said, I am human, and all things are open to negotiation...

Optimistically, directors and authors attempt to inform, or maybe warn, the masses in the hope that they wont let it happen for real. However, we are already living in a dystopian future, the films just dress it up in neon and lens flare. I work in local government and one of the most disturbing things that happened a few years ago was that they started referring to people as resources! When they talk about redistributing resources, they aren't talking about moving tables and chairs and computers, they are talking about people as though they are tables and chairs and computers. When they restructure these 'resources' they seem to be surprised to find that they don't always fit into their expected boxes. Which usually prompts another restructure... Still, I love dystopia! Almost as much as apathetic nihilism and armchair anarchy

I have this on order. So I'll let you know when it turns up

I like it when the plot takes an unexpected twist

Hey Rod, you might be able to find me as Commander Eldritch...

So have I dude! Elite Rocks!

Maybe an Elite: Dangerous SF setting has available IP? That might work.

Hong Kong Phooey

Apocalypse Cthulhu.

I usually give my dog batwings.

And there is nothing wrong with that at all

Looking back at the original post reminded me of an incident when I was talking to my mum after playing Rune Quest. She wanted to know what I'd been doing at my mates and I said something like '... I almost joined a cult today...' Oh, how we laughed... about an hour later when I had finally managed to successfully communicate what I actually meant

Strange that you should mention that... The Uncle is the client we are investigating. And there was an old country house which had a little out building on a cliff edge on the grounds. There was definately something going on there, we bumped into a ghoul. I know it was a ghoul because it 'meeped' and 'glibbered'. We found a clue there that lead us to Old Blighty, where we had a similar experience but with a Hound of Tindalos, which was quite worrisome! Then we had to catch a boat to Japan, took ages, where we found more clues, one of which lead us straight to a Star Vampire (I say Star Vampire as though I have some idea as to what is going on, but really it was a rather panicked event). I seem to remember us running away from that one... so we might have missed a clue there... Fast forwarding with no montage at all... We are back in England, well Scotland actually, on the shores of Loch Ness, which feels quite safe and tame compared with some of the places we've been recently. Thankfully my character isn't too smart so he still has most of his SAN left. The Professor however, has developed some OCD type behaviour though...

T&T is really quick and dirty. It's a simple set of rules, monsters can have 1 stat which determines hp and attack dice. I would say it is vaguely reminiscent of D&D, but really vaguely I believe there was a kickstarter for an updated, expanded set of rules sort of recently...

I've run RQ 2/3, Toon, Shadowrun, TMNT, a long time ago T&T, and I'm a Car Wars fan too. And I've played more systems than I can remember, but probably mostly RQ, D&D and GURPS.

Just wait until to you get a job

I'm playing in a CoC game at the moment. Haven't played Cthulhu for years and I'd totally forgotten how much fun it was . We're on a globe trotting escapade to discover the reason for a clients death. It was a little suspicious...

should be the name of the new thread Actually that would be poor english, it should be 'Miscommunicate and Confuse'.

I'm beginning to think that there may be a use for a 'Generic d100' forum, probably in 'The D100 Family' group. If you want to talk about BRP then these generic threads are starting to confuse the purity of the 'Basic Roleplaying' thread... make room for it and I could just ignore them and only look at what I come here for, which is BRP (with a sideline in Glorantha). I suppose the only other real option would be for someone to start a Generic d100 website and forum. However, seeing as when I do a Google on 'd100 forum' the top 5 results are all about Nikon cameras and number 6 is this website (!), that may be the stupid option.

I ran a Toon game once titled NECROCOMICON, THE BOOK OF DREADFUL PUNS. But I don't think that was what you were after and Toon is not good campaign material anyway...

Lets not stick to expensive materials, some things are much cheaper and easier to come by.. using a severed limb, for example, could still be a 1d4 or maybe 1d6 club (i'll beat ya ta death with the soggy end).

I've always thought of Brawl as an improvised weapon attack. So it could be a punch or a kick but it could also just as easily be a bottle or a chair or a kettle or a vase or anything not normally used as a weapon. Damage would be... whatever seems appropriate at the time!

Best bet is to contact Chaosium direct. The authors don't really get an official say.
