    I've been roleplaying for 25 years. I have about six years total time in game store management. I've been doing a podcast that focuses mostly on roleplaying games for nearly three years. I'm currently a freelance RPG book editor, as well.
  • Current games
    Though I'm usually a GM, I'm currently playing in a home brew supers setting using Savage Worlds and Necessary Evil. I'm currently reading BRP and Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies, with an eye for running them.

    In the Introduction chapter these are mentioned as tools for learning the game. I don't see them anywhere. What am I missing?

    Jason, thanks for clearing all this up. Good info here. I see GM fiat being important with the EDU base level. I just wanted to make sure that 10 was a good starting point. And definitely thanks for clearing up the starting build points!
  3. Ron Blessing
    Thanks for the quick reply and clearing that part up, but I guess I'm still not understanding something. Are you saying that when using Point-Based Character Creation their base EDU should be Age-5? Am I understanding that right? Still, that wouldn't answer the other part of my question, which is how does having EDU in the game affect the number of build points in Point-Based Character Creation?
  4. Ron Blessing
    OK. I've made my introductions in the appropriate forum, so for my second post I have a question: Within the Point-Based Character Creation sidebar (p. 19) it mentions adding EDU as an option, but I'm wondering if the base is still 10. Also, should the starting points still be 24? It says, "the gamemaster should assign a value to EDU based on your character’s age (described in Step Eight on page 24) and background." But Step Eight doesn't mention character age at all. Would someone be so kind as to clear this up for me? Thanks in advance!

    Hi! Ron Blessing, here. I've been roleplaying for 25 years but honestly have little experience with BRP. I played in a short CoC campaign in the early '90s, wherein my first character stepped into a door that seemed to lead to outer space. Apparently, it did. Oops. Aside from being a fan of HPL's works, my next contact with CoC was last year when I played in a one-shot at a local gaming event. Not only did I live through that one, but I was the one of the few. These days I manage a game store (not own), do some freelance editing in the RPG industry, and host and produce a gaming podcast. I primarily GM (as a preference, not a curse), but recently I've been playing more. I bought the new BRP core book last year and am just now diving in. A listener of my show told me about this community.
