Because I am idiot, I forgot to also mention the Magic World Quickstart which includes the scenario "The Fishsinger's Daughter" and some pre-generated characters.

Ooh, that looks like it has possibilities.  Thank you.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Trollslayer looks good, although I'm not certain if it could be finished in about four hours or not.

What, in your opinion, is the best (non-Glorantha, non-COC) adventure for BRP that can be run as a one-and-done in about four hours or so?

Pre-gens for the players aren't strictly required, but would admittedly be useful.

Bonus points if the scenario shows off several of the options that BRP has to offer.

The most recent - and possibly last - session of this campaign.

Heh.  Back in the late 90's through the 'aughts, "Honor Thy Error As A Hidden Intention" was my sigfile for my emails and on a couple of forum message boards.

Kind of like the pulp vibe, but it definitely wouldn't have aged well.

Yeah, I kinda like it for the WTF factor, but my tastes are probably not to be trusted.

Two gaming sessions in the same month?  Unpossible!

More shenanigans for our motley crew of time travelers...

After far too many delays, we finally got to play our second session, with the addition of a new player.

I responded on RPG.net, but because I gave the players the link to the writeup, I wanted to give a little more info here that they might not want to be spoiled for them.  If you want to know more about the setting background, find the EABA Timelords entry on DriveThru and click on the 'Publisher Preview'.  That will open up a 17 page pdf that pretty much includes the majority of the 'big picture' background for the game.

One of the changes in the more recent versions of Timelords done for CORPS and EABA is that technological items tend to be disrupted by being transported through time by the Matrix.  I understand the game-reasoning for this, but decided to go with the older rules where that wasn't an issue.  Sometimes having a bigger gun isn't going to solve the problem at hand, and other times having a bigger gun is okay because you're going to need all the help you can get.

Hello everybody,

Just ran my first session of BRP, using it to adapt BTRC's original Timelords game.  I have a more detailed writeup over at RPG.net, for anyone interested.

(I guess it technically wasn't my first attempt at running BRP - I ran one session of COC back in the early 90's, and another session using the old Worlds Of Wonder box set to make a stab at a Highlander game shortly after that - but certainly it was the first while using the Big Gold Book)
