BRP 5th edition?

[MoonRightRomantic 25]

Is there going to be BRP 5th edition that will include innovations from Call of Cthulhu 7th edition and other rules released since the publication of BRP 4th edition?

Do you mean a revision of the  BigGoldBook?   Then no; or at least, "not soon."

That is bizarre. You would think they would update it before releasing the BRP SRD. The current SRD is adapted from the BGB 4e. It doesn't include any revisions made since 2007.

Not really. The BGB is really a 1.0 item, or if you prefer, its a multi version compilation.

It was designed as a tool box as opposed to a definitive version. BRP itself has been adapted/modified for each game it appeared in. The “core” really hasn’t changed much at all.

This is a question, notably asked on April 1, that could quite authoritatively be answered using emojis.
