KjetilKverndokken Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 So, we get a good few professions in the BRP Core. But I find them somewhat lacking a bit if I'm hosting a dark age or a fantasy game. So before I get along and start writing the Professions myself, I thought it might be a smart thing to ask you guys if you know of a Profession list with write ups or where I can get them? Cause I'm looking at the flexible Lifepath system of Burning Wheel, and would need a good ammount of dark age/middle age/Renaissance/fantasy professions.

Jason D Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 You might look to Cthulhu Dark Ages for more professions. CDA has the following professions: Beggar Cleric Craftsman/Shopkeeper Farmer Guard Healer Hermit/Heretic Household Officer Juggler/Minstrel Mercenary/Brigand Merchant Monk/Nun Pilgrim Priest Sailor Scholar Sergeant/Mayor Small Trader Warrior Woodsman/Fisherman Another source would be Stormbringer/Elric!. The following professions are represented therein: Beggar Craftsperson/Shopkeeper Hunter Lost/Forgotten Mercenary/Bodyguard Merchant Minor Noble Nomad Paid Assassin/Thug Peasant/Farmer Physician/Apothecary Sailor Scribe/Engineer Shaman/Priest/Cultist Slave Small Trader Soldier/Guard/Watchman Tax or Rent Collector Thief Troubadour/Entertainer Between those two sources, you've got most non-setting-specific professions covered.

HANZO Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Is there any chaosium systems still in print that the professions are like they were in old RQ with a set amount added to each skill based on the profession?

Jarulf Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I don't think so. Nick Middleton's fanzine Uncounted Worlds has an article describing a lifepath system for BRP that does something similar. You can get it as a free pdf from Chaosium or basicroleplaying.net which also offers it printed from Lulu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleduc Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 This is probably only related in my mind, but I put an MS Word document in the download section that has all the core professions typed out and formatted – I use it as a framework for putting together my own lists of available professions. http://basicroleplaying.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
