Gheedon Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Just had a quick read through this monograph and came across something I hope is a typo in The Sign of the Black Goat. >FEMALE CHARACTERS >If trying to remain close the restricted role of women in >Medieval times, laying a female character may prove to be >challenging. Charlie Krank really needs to have at least a quick read through these things. Ooops, says he with a red face. Yes, that's a typo, but obviously feel free to interpret the sentence anyway you like. Oh, and I'm very happy my scenario is in the monograph. Typos and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJealousy Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 My dodgy maps for the Black Book didn't make it into the BRP Adventures pdf. So I've re-done them and uploaded them to the gallery here!

ORtrail Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Well, I got the PDF yesterday evening and enjoyed a quick read through it. Quick impressions: Skulls and Nuke Bombs could have easily been the title for this BRP monograph. King John's Treasure and Escape From The Slavelands caught my immediate interest. One for historic reasons, and the other for the cool Gamma World memories invoked. Much more printer friendly than my PDF of Outpost 19, which is a big plus. I worry too much about my own maps, as this PDF shows. Being functional is good enough, they don't have to be works of art. Though some definite themes run through this PDF, there should be something useful for every BRP GM, given the variety of adventures.

soltakss Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'm sure I've seen the cover illustration somewhere ... To my surprise, this has 2 Fantasy Europe scenarios and a Wild West one. Lots of Alternate Earth stuff, then. I've skipped through it and it looks good to me. It covers different genres, Fantasy, Horror (although it is medieval horror), post-apocalypse and Sci-Fi, so there's something for everybody.

threedeesix Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Ok, it took a bit longer than I wanted, but I now have the Adventure Monograph. They all look great, but I have to say, Sarah's really excites me as one of my all time favorite games in my youth was gamma world. And boy was I surprised to find myself immortalized as an NPC in Trifs adventure, even got my INT right, spooky. I can’t wait to sit down and start reading these, as soon as Sword & Spell is done; I plan to run them all. Any idea if they plan on doing a print version? Now, why isnt this book sitting on the shelf next to the BRP core book? I mean, what a better way to show the versatility of BRP than with a book covering every genre from fantasy to Scifi, and everything in between.

Hopefully since they've used all this art before they won't run into the same problem with their printer that delayed Ashes to Ashes.

rust Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Well, it has one science fiction adventure, so I am tempted to buy it, although the price would be a little high for only one adventure I may be able to use. Perhaps someone could be so kind to give me a few more informations about "Planet-Fall, by Bruce Thomson" to make it a bit easier for me to decide whether to buy the PDF ? Thank you !

I have not gotten that far yet, but I can tell you that you are an NPC in one of the adventures. (Guess who's ?) You hang out with Shaira's gang of taxcollectors and wear rusty armor. So far I am loving this monograph. So much so that I am only allowing myself to read a little at a time. It really showcases what BRP is capable of.

rust Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 You hang out with Shaira's gang of taxcollectors and wear rusty armor. Well, this is an almost perfect description - my father always wanted me to work for the Finanzamt (tax collection service), and my lady often complains about my lack of fashion sense ...

I actually had great fun writing up the NPCs! In aftersight I'm very happy I did the poll though, as my sensitivity skill is VERY low and I could easily have offended people there. I'm improving the descriptions in the review section, planning to make direct links from the front page to the review section, but include profile links of the authors who are also members of BRP Central in the description. Is anyone of the following authors members of BRP Central? Andrei Baltakmans, Jean-Philipe Chapleau, R.J. Christensen, Matt Steele, Jason Williams, Simon Yee & Bruce Thomson? SGL.

rust Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hi! I just signed up to the forum. If anybody has any questions or comments about my scenario I would love to hear from you! Hello Jason, welcome to the forum ! While I usually do not like post-apocalyptic scenarios, I really like your adven- ture, probably because in my opinion it has a very strong science fiction fee- ling to it - in fact, it is just the kind of adventure that I would have needed when I was playing Traveller - The New Era. When I did first read your adventure, I regretted that it did not fit into my current setting and campaign, but then I decided that I like it too much, and that it would be worth to change some parts of my setting to become able to introduce it. I plan to make a few minor changes in the adventure's background, moving it from our world's future to a remote colony world of my setting that suffered a major desaster and slipped into a dictatorship, with the characters as a re- cently arrived and now stranded starship crew that has to work with the Un- marked because they need the "blind spot" in the surveillance system to lea- ve the planet (and inform the Federation Patrol about the situation there).

jasonw1239 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 That is great to hear! I did try to make the general setting as "generic" as possible. :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonw1239 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Good! Hopefully the authors will receive their contributor copies soon. I wonder what extra book will be included? I was kind of hoping that Chaosium would have copies of Terrors from Beyond by the time the BRP contest prizes were being shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
