Well for me anyway, it's the best of everything I have ever loved about BRP under one set of covers. My group and I submitted playtest reports right up to 2 weeks ago and most of them made it in. So I love it.

Zane Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Argh!!!! Out of curiosity, had you even received notification of it shipping? Is there any chance that the rest of our books have shipped and the notification is what's taking so long? By my calculations I should have been receiving my copy today, yet as far as I know it hasn't shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Twig Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I received mine just today. 30 of 420. I wonder how many they sold? I'm hoping they sold them all, as that would be a good indication that the final product would also sell well. Of course I know some of the people here are waiting for the final product. All of mine friends are waiting as well. Quote The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Well, I wasn't going to buy it, but after the free shipping offer expired, I broke and bought one anyway. When I get my book I'll post the number here.

PK Games Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Got mine today. #26. Looking through it I really want to redo Berlin '61 for BRP instead of Mongoose OGL (no offense to Mr. Proctor's GORE, there are just lots of things in BRP that Id love to steal LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drohem Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I received my copy (32/420) on the 24th. Just in time for Christmas. I was able to open on Christmas morning! Thanks Chaosium Guys!! Quote BRP Ze 32/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atgxtg Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Can anyone give me a quick heads up on how they do character genereation. DO you break up points among professional skills or what? I'm working on the Western stuff and a little insight would be helpful until I get a copy. Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself.

Campaign power level determines percentile pool points to distribute among profession skills: Normal = 250 (75% skill cap) Heroic = 325 (90% cap) Epic = 400 (101% cap) Superhuman = 500 (no cap) If you're using the EDU characteristic option, then: Normal = EDU x 20 percentile pool points (with same skill caps) Heroic = EDU x 25 Epic = EDU x 30 Superhuman = EDU x 40 Quote BRP Ze 32/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drohem Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Oh BTW, I really like the old Wyvern cover and font. Maybe it's nostalgia. I own the old BRP version with the cardstock battleboard and chits that had the Wyvern cover. I like the colorized version on the this cover. I am used to seeing the font with Chaosium products, so it *feels* right to me for the new BRP book. Quote BRP Ze 32/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they give a list of 8 skills per profession? It might just be the "code of the west"? PS I Like the Gyphon cover too. I think I'd prefer just a silhouette like the Chasoium logo. I might just get one of the "demo" books. I was thinking of holding out for the official/corrected release, but maybe I'll cave. Hope they put a list of correction up so the early birds won't be left in the cold. ("No, the 18 AP plate is a typo, it should have been 8.")

drohem Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 It looks like there is about 10 skills for each Profession. There are about 45 Professions listed in the book. Quote BRP Ze 32/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be enough for me to do up some Western professions. That Old West thing is turning into a bit of a project. Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself.
