Ok so I purchased the BRP hardcover, to see if I would like the game, and it seemed interesting enough that I purchased the Magic book, Basic creatures, Basic GM and Classic Fantasy. I saw reference to Mythic Iceland that I may see if i can buy that.. Love viking lore
I've owned Pendragon for many years but never did more than a casual read just after I purchased it seemingly forever ago, I have the green cover Stormbringer book, still shrink wrapped somewhere if I remember correctly. I may have a Rune Quest box in my collection somewhere, but I've never even opened the box, so not sure what edition it is.
I've mostly been running Rolemaster from the early 90's to a few years ago. Recently Ive run a 18 month pathfinder campaign, was interesting but I keep bumping against the limitations of the system and will probably drop the system entirely.
Right now I am considering BRP or Hero as my next system. I currently own all of the HS6E books, but to be honest, most players look at the stack and start looking for the exits, BRP is much less intimidating in that regard.
My primary concern is of course the lack of HP's or overall lethality. Seems an average player will die in just a few hits, and that never seems to change. Of course I have played Rolemaster, with the crit charts, so deadly lethality is is not necessarily a bad thing, just curious just how deadly the game is in play.
