Jack Tar Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 My dream of writing a BRP-based Napoleonic game will not see reality until I have won the lottery and no longer need to work 9 - 5. So in the interim, what would be the best supplement(s) to help a BRP-based Napoleonic game? Weapon stats, sailing data, cavalry, etc. Are there any?

filbanto Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Gurps Age of Napoleon is excellent. I put together some black powder weapon stats on another thread: http://basicroleplaying.com/showthread.php/2086-Black-Powder-Rules?p=34674#post34674 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalaba Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) There's also In Harm's Way, which is a percentage roll-under system, and so probably adaptable, and Beat to Quarters and Duty and Honour All good Napoleonic RPG references, but none are BRP.

ORtrail Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I've written up some black powder weapon notes, but when I get back from work (I work from home in the mornings then at the office in the afternoon) I want to look over your notes filbanto to see how they compare. Actually, I should read that other thread too. We need to get SJG to do a line of BRP compatible books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merak Gren Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I've had the privilidge of playing in 3 of Wolverine's BRP Sharpe games at Continuum. He loves the subject and has an almost encyclopeadic knowledge of the books and series. His quick load rule was brilliant mimicked the books and saved my butt several times. BRP can do napoleonic with ease. I was kinda hoping he would write it up as a generic monograph but it was not to be.

soltakss Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Seconded - I was surprised at how easily BRP coped with a Sharpe game. I think there were only 2 extra skills, Quick Load was one that worked particularly well. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

Jack Tar Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Thanks everyone for your comments. I in fact have everything mentioned other than the GURPS Scarlet Pimpernel. The black powder rules will be of great use, thanks. Quote 132/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seneschal Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (Apologies to Sir Percy Blakeney) They seek it here, they seek it there The supplement on the Pimpernel. Is it online, or at a used book store? Buy it and put it in your drawer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
