NickMiddleton Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Isn’t Chaosium HQ somewhere like Ann Arbour, Michigan these days? That’s, err, 5 hours behind London UK? So in all seriousness, I won’t be expecting anything until mid to late afternoon UK time. I can be patient. Honest. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihsan Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Hey all! I've been a lurker on this forum for a while but I thought I'd make an account to say I'm excited for this release as well. I'm planning on cozying up with this PDF all weekend. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Shinn Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Looks like they are starting to make changes to the site. I noticed that this page: https://www.chaosium.com/basic-roleplaying/ Now includes Rivers of London (which it did not as of yesterday).

Jason D Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 On 3/21/2023 at 10:24 AM, albesias said: I really love the toolbox perspective from the BGB. You can configure a really streamlined game or a really heavyweight one up to your taste or your table needs. Cover art shows a Vitruvian swiss tool man. I'd like an update that includes lastest options like, CoC's 7th push your luck, characterists x5, RQG's passions, reputations, personality traits like runes and more power magic options. Jason has my trust. Thanks for your trust. You get some of those things! Some didn't make it, for obvious reasons: Push your luck is already in the old edition in the form of Fate Points (p176). There is not much sense to introducing another system that does the same thing (technically less). Characteristics x5 don't scale satisfactorily for characters with characteristics greater than 20/100, and conflict with use of the resistance table - which is mathematically the better way to handle opposing forces (opposed rolls don't give equal forces a 50/50 chance of success). Passions, Reputations are now in there Personality traits were already in there. I didn't add more magic or powers, as we had a mandate to make what was there better and clearer/cleaner, not add a bunch of new stuff just to add new stuff. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travern Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Quick question, @Jason D: The ORC License draft is marked "FEEDBACK REQUESTED", but there doesn't seem to be a method of submitting this (e-mail, webform, etc.). How do people send in their comments/critiques/questions? Many thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, fantastic job on a phenomenal product! I was afraid certain things might be stripped out, but it all looks to be there! 👏👏👏 Second, as to your quote and regarding adding stuff... might BRP Platinum (that's what I'm now calling this) get a secondary volume that BRP Gold teased about?

Stan Shinn Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I'm loving just about everything I'm seeing, and very excited! I do wish there had been more CoC 7 innovations included (bonus die, pulp traits, etc.), but maybe I can house-rule those in. Is it just me (I'm reading the PDF on a Mac), or is the font in the tables nearly unreadable? This is an example of what it looks like for me, zoomed to 100%. Fonts that microscopic should use a sans serif font I would think. If this doesn't get addresses, not sure I'd buy a hard copy since I couldn't read it without a magnifying glass and would need to zoom 200% on my iPad. 😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Mohrfield Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 One minor complaint; I do wish that the Healing ability from Elfquest had been added to Psychic Abilities given Player Characters penchant for getting themselves harmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
