cjbowser Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm looking for a few diehard souls to read through/comment on the setting material and BRP rules changes I have come up. It will be published by Chaosium as a regular distribution book, not a monograph. The introductory scenario is not done yet. It's written out longhand, but has not been typed in yet. When it's typed it, it'll be about 10k-15k words and need serious playtesting. What's it about you ask? It's a modern day espionage setting. Think more Bourne and Burn Notice and less Bond... Post here or PM if interested. I'll see if Triff wouldn't mind setting up a dedicated forum. Quote Various RPGs I've worked on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason D Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I don't have any time for playtesting, but I've long wanted to see a BRP treatment of the spy genre, so this is quite cool to read about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camillus Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm more than happy to help with reading and I can organise a play test with a (very) small group who are all interested in modern techno-thriller settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neorxnawang Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Not equipped to playtest but more than happy to review, comment and kibitz at your leisure.

cjbowser Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks for the offers to help, everybody. It looks like Triff is out until the 18th, so that'll give me some time to get the scenario typed in as well.

JonHook Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Are you looking to run the game via a play-by-post site like Role Play Online dot net? If so, I'd love to be a player. If you're looking for folks to run playtest games in their local area, then I can't. I've got a brand new son, so all of my playing is currently play-by-post.

rpgstarwizard Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 My major group is on hiatus, but I have a small group that would be willing both to read and play test, but I only have three players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifletraxor Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Nice! I'll get the playtest forum up and running by tomorrow. Got a blurp for the frontpage now? SGL. Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for people who have a group they can either play a game with or at least peruse the rules and look for issues. If you don't have a group, but still want to contribute, you can read the material and offer feedback on rules implementation and such. Nice! I'll get the playtest forum up and running by tomorrow. Got a blurp for the frontpage now? SGL. I'll get you one shortly. Thanks! Quote Various RPGs I've worked on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trifletraxor Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) Blurb is up: Believing that the world is driven by the actions of politicians, a higher power, or even the immutable arrow of time is fine for some people. Believing that the news reported on the web, TV, the papers, and around the office water cooler is the whole story, even if that story is a product of spin, is fine for most people. However, most people aren’t aware of the Wright Institute for Global Resolutions, and even those who are don’t realize the role it plays in turning the world, shaping the news, and assuring that the average citizen sees everything in black and white. The Wright Institute is a modern day espionage setting where the players take on the role of agents for the Wright Institute. It will be published by Chaosium as a regular distribution book. The author of this sourcebook is Chad J. Bowser, aka cjbowser from the forum. Edited September 29, 2011 by Trifletraxor Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest.

Jeffrywith1e Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Is there hope for this? Thirsty for a BRP espionage setting (without cosmic horror, as cool as that is and all that...) Quote Wave your geekflag high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simlasa Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 We played a short campaign of Berlin '61 a while back when we first got it... I think the GM intended to work the Mythos into but somehow that never happened and it ended up being a pretty straight 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold' type of Cold War spy vs. spy thing. Good fun... So yeah, more BRP espionage please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjbowser Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) This was put on hiatus while I worked on other, larger projects. I might return to it this year, depending on my schedule. As of right now, the rules, setting, and a scenario are finished. If there's enough interest I can look into revisiting my time table.

Good fun... So yeah, more BRP espionage please! Glad to hear B'61 has been played LOL. Good news is that the second monograph has be submitted so hopefully more B'61 fun is on its way. This volume is full of encounters and locations that range from espionage, to sci-fi horror to supernatural terror complete with a introductory adventure. Plus I plan to write B'61 adventure submissions for the new adventure contest, one as a sci-fi BRP and one for CoC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
