Nephilim, Superworld - Does Anyone Still Play These RPGs?

My only gripe with BRP is lethality, such that I am tending to go freeform, and allow players a list of traits, etc that they can pick from to make them exceptional, kind of like in Pulp Cthulhu. I am not into games where players are ne'er do wells, I want them to be heroes and all the baggage that comes with that, no matter the setting.

I understand this opinion but I think it's more about how you set your power level. Granted, I began play with Elric! where characters are encouraged to have skills above 100%. When you pair them against the average town guardsmen, who would generally have 30-40% in skills, the PCs really shine. When they do get into a lethal situation it's usually because they worked themselves into it.

Yep, alleged BRP lethality is mainly due to the fact most BRP games only allow PCs with rather low skills.

Things would also be different if characters had characteristics outside the 3-18 boundaries, especially CON and SIZ.
