Is there an Optional Rules Checklist in PDF format, or another format that I can download and print? I looked around in the Download section and I didn't see one.

Thanks for your musings on creating fantasy races, and the feel of that genre game that mainly uses a D20. Keep up the good work.

Well, I got my big chunky BRP book today. Now to start reading.

I really think this game will be my "one game" for the various games I will run in the future. I'm really excited to get my hands on the rules. Where is that UPS guy when you need him? hehe. Thanks for the opinions.

Thanks for all the suggestions, and things to watch out for. I bought 3 books of BRP (GM copy, and 2 to pass around to the players). I'll have to read through the optional rules and see what works for me.

I mainly end up running games for other people (though I prefer to play). It seems to me that GMing a BRP game will be a very pleasant experience. If you are a GM, would you care to let me know how the game works for you? Thanks.

Hey, Eisenmann. I remember you from my very short-lived HARP campaign, hehe. I think I'm really going to like BRP. I may not need another system, though I will proabably still buy them. I have this thing for buying up RPGs...

I ordered myself the BRP book from my FLGS, and I should have it in a week or so. Man, I'm excited.

Talislanta sounds interesting. Maybe I will just round up a bunch of strange critters from various weird fantasy worlds, plop them into a new setting with a few tweaks, and then roll with it. I thought about editing some of the world building projects I've done in the past, but I'll probably just end up doing something else. I'm sure I'll work out something.

While I've played some 1-shots of Call of Cthulhu, I've never used the system in other games. I have a feeling that BRP will be my system of choice for all my genres of gaming. I plan on getting the book soon, and I'm excited about digging into it. My gaming life has had a meandering course: D&D, Heroquest (the board game), LOTR Adventure Game, Rolemaster Standard System, Hunter:the Reckoning, D&D 3rd & 3.5, World of Darkness, H.A.R.P., and now BRP.

I would like to see a setting without humans (yeah I know tough) and with different unique fantasy races. I started a world building project awhile ago to try to pull that off, but it has kind of floundered because of people's laziness, and because of the setting's strangeness I think. Enlil - GASP World Building Project GASP World Building Forum - Index I'm the Knight of Frost on those forums. Anyway, I'm looking forward to learning a new system, and then translating some fantasy setting to it (unless that has already been pulled off).

I've been on the search for a good RPG, well, as long as I've been playing and running games. While I love H.A.R.P. as a player, I have a hard time using it when I run games, as I usually prefer more rules-lite systems. I think BRP is going to be my system of choice for a long time to come, where I can play and run games with it effectively. I would be interested mostly in fantasy and horror settings, or a mix of both, and I know BRP can handle that. Although I've been a Tolkien fan since I was little (thanks to the animated Hobbit and Return of the King) in my gaming life, I'm just fed up with Tolkien-Clone settings. In the future, I hope to use BRP in more bizarre settings that don't use the standard fantasy races. I've been looking at Dark Sun, Glorantha, Jorune, Tekumel, Talislanta, and other free settings online, to find my fantasy setting of choice. I'm still on the search for a good fantasy setting though. Anyway, I'm looking forward to actually getting a hard copy of the book (as I only downloaded the free quick start at this point).
