If you're looking for material to convert (or just inspire) take a look at Goblinoid Games' Starships & Spacemen 2nd ed. This new version of a 1978 game ports the messier original rules to "old-school" d20, so it's easier to translate into BRP.

S&S2 also allocates gear using rank and department, and contains subsystems for exploring strange new worlds and shooting Kling-, I mean Zangids out of the sky. If nothing else, check out the Random Bumpy Forehead table.

There is one at http://www.soltakss.com/rq_scifi.doc

Yes. Very nice. Saved. Thank you!

Having just seen Into the Darkness I'm all excited about Trek now. So I resurect this thread. And look what I found, all three FASA books from the original box set in one PDF

Star Trek the FASA Game

Another possibility, if a bit hard-to-find, would be the *original* BRP/Worlds of Wonder "Magic World" fantasy supplement. It sort-of has classes, but is gorgeously simple: 18 pages, including monsters & scenario (but requires a few pages from the old BRP "Intro to Roleplaying" too). A gem - absolutely perfect for fantasy-fan D100 newbies.

It's not too hard to find. Its been sitting on this site with no problem for years...

Worlds of Wonder

I'm looking for rules or options for Extended Actions. The best I could find was in the Quick Start PDF under Extended Research. It touches on how the GM can require multiple successes (pg. 23). I'm looking for more extensive guidelines on this, where a complex task may require lets say three or more rolls. Where can I find this?

a three hour tour?

Should BRP have a subreddit? I made one. Lets see how it does...

Basic Roleplaying on reddit

I just discovered a BRP setting for kids which I blogged about...

The Geek Flag: Space Squirlins!

Well, looking at my copy of Worlds Beyond .... I do not understand the hype. It uses "a kind of" the BRP system, and the starship creation rules are very generic. To be honest, they do nothing that a good starship combat game could not do. Go and buy "Starmarda", "Warcosm" or "Full Thrust" for a good set of space combat rules. And these systems come with starship creation rules as well. Trust me, you won't feel a difference.

It's not worth 50$ IMHO. More like 10-15 bucks.

BTW: the "HARP SF XTREME" rules seem to be good for RPG space combat and vehicle creation. Not sure about the price tag though.

I will stick to my minis rules

I agree with you about Worlds Beyond. Kind of a meh product. I somehow picked up a copy a while ago. Let me ask you a strange question about your copy... does it have a distinct oder to it? Mine has an almost burnt smell, but not quite. I suspect it's some kind of binding glue or powerful smell from whatever ink was used. Anyway, it's kind of strange.

The riposte rule didn't make it in, but was intended to. See this thread: http://basicroleplaying.com/basic-roleplaying/basic-roleplaying-chaosium-roleplaying-system-1519/

Cheers,

Nick

Ah ha. Thank you.

Are the rules covering riposte in the BGB? If so where? If not, where can I find those options? Thank you.

I am anxiously awaiting this one.

Me too. And it's May!

and Happy Festivus!

Merry Christmas to all

I thought it was just you, but now they've never looked more unhappy!

Then we'd better mention the BRP QuickStart is available free and legally right here.

I used to play computer RPGs like you but then I took an arrow in the knee.

Is there hope for this? Thirsty for a BRP espionage setting (without cosmic horror, as cool as that is and all that...)

Elric, Stormbringer, Eternal Champions?

Here's the Character Sheet. In fact, it can be used for any BRP Space Setting - as can the 2300AD rules. It really is that generic ...

This is very cool. Thank you.

Is Aces High available in print no longer? I only see a PDF version at Chosium.

This just keeps getting better!

I cannot agree.

Oh, very cool! More BRP sci-fi is a good thing. Is this a one-time-thing, or is it possible to see more GDW/BRP conversions (including the original flavor text)? Twilight 2000 flavor text was some of my favorite of any game book I've read.
