RosenMcStern Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=517703 Okay, rpg.net is a bit biased, and D&D fans usually do not browse that part of the forums, so the poll is not statistically significant, but seeing BRP come first in a "What is your favourite system" contest is somehow... unexpected In the other two polls run before it was third after Savage Worlds and Gurps, but those were polls about "generic" systems. So let me reply to the question: "How could BRP be more popular?" in a new and unusual way: "By being exactly what it is now".

threedeesix Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Wow, that is a nice surprise. Even adding both D&D (any edition) and D20 Varients together (which are still the same system after all) still finds BRP coming out on top by a rather large margin. Nice!

rust Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I have to admit that I am very surprised. On the other hand, this is of course ... ;t) Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open." (Charlie Chan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GianniVacca Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I suspect that the acne'd youth who play WoD games at my local club DO NOT EVEN KNOW that rpg.net exists...

Atgxtg Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I suspect that the acne'd youth who play WoD games at my local club DO NOT EVEN KNOW that rpg.net exists... Scary since WoD is running neck and neck with D&D. If they knew tabout rpg.net then WoD might be in first place! Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself.

seneschal Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=517703 So let me reply to the question: "How could BRP be more popular?" in a new and unusual way: "By being exactly what it is now". On the other hand, you yourself have noted that BRP's chief fan base is the over-40 crowd (many of whom frequent rpg.net). The popularity thread deals with how to attract GianniVacca's pimply set, who may be oblivious to BRP's existence. That said, the recent YouTube reviews by eager BRP converts are encouraging.

Chaot Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 There's also a lot of energy about MRQ going on over there right now. I bet that's feeding into it too. Not that I'm complaining. It warms the cockles of my cold black heart to see that poll. Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusboys3 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I don't really believe BRP has that strong a following among the RPG.net crowd... but it's nice to see it making a relatively strong showing. Fate seems to be gaining on it but I suspect Fate is one of those systems that a lot more people read and talk about than ever get around to playing it... our group looked at it, thought it was kinda neat and all agreed there's no we were ever gonna game with it. Savage worlds would probably be out front if the OP hadn't neglected to list it... since it's currently one of the big darlings over there.

Dredj Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I actually tried to turn on some people new to role playing onto BRP. But they found Savage Worlds soon after. Now they are Savage Worlds fanatics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merak Gren Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I naturally voted BRP. I am surprised as there are always enough people there to complain about BRP and how every other darling there will so something better than BRP.

Atgxtg Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Fate/Fudge is catching up. Not surprising either, as it is somewhat trendy among the non D&D gamers. Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClawCarver Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Despite bitter recent experience in the UK having dented my faith in the democratic process somewhat, I've just voted. For BRP, of course. (Toon, astoundingly, isn't an option.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
