So everyone's not happy after all - oh dear. Can't you make do with rolling location for significant hits, instead of every hit? I don't know the 'Stormbringer major damage table', what's wrong with it? And why does it matter? Possibly - but, sorry, I must have missed where they were talked about before. Could you please direct me tothe nearest Hero Points discussion? (I don't know if the new book even has such a mechanism).

Hit locations and strike ranks were 2 of the 3 things RQ needed to change, IMO (the 3rd being a mechanism to reward roleplaying). And it looks like they have been - good! And if they're still available as options, everyone's happy - right? PS I like the font (there, I've said it!).

It's the only one I know! OK, the main virtue is it's SO simple you can bolt on other complications you might want and still end up with something fairly easy. It's boardless and diceless, outcomes being based on comparing speeds/tactics/weapons selections. It's pencil-and-paper - so what the Cyberboard is for, I don't know... (perhaps an unnecessary campaign star-map).

There's an old, interesting and very simple game of spaceship combat called Warp War (see Warp War | BoardGameGeek), which incorporated ship design. If you're going to create a system, you could do worse than making it compatible with that.

Chapter Eleven is called "Creatures", not "Bestiary" (under Non-human Characters option, p 16 & 19).

Q&A's with the new BRP author version 2.0
frogspawner replied to Trifletraxor's topic in Basic Roleplaying
Still proof-reading? So is there time to change the spelling to "basiQ Roleplaying"? I just think the name "basic roleplaying" is a bit too dull. The old advertising trick of mis-spelling might help. Also, of course, it's got the letters R and Q in it, reminiscent of it's heritage. And that'd open up possibilities for a daring cover title design, like... Chaosium _B _a _s _i RQleplaying -
What "Quick Reply button"...? ...Oh, that. Nah, never used it. So I'd say "Not". BTW, many thanks for setting up the forum - it's great. Don't be offended I don't say as much as I used to on the MRQ one. I don't go there anymore. Everyone here just says such sensible things, I don't need to add anything. Cheers!

So why didn't you just wait till afterwards and reclaim the body? That's the usual way...

Metric?? Oh, no! Oh well - nothing that half an hour with a calculator and a thick black marker pen won't fix, I hope...

I say 'No way'. I was assuming you meant to buy story-fiddles as per MRQ, though (isn't that the way they do it?). But is there another way? (I have an idea or two, but would anyone else like to comment first?)
