Sirhc Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Just dropping in becaue I was curious as to the status of this source book, which sounded like a great pulpy sword and planet/space opera resource. I know plans for BRP are kind of scattered, but I hope this eventually sees the light of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmitchell Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 It might be a long time away. Chaosium has more pressing priorities, Jason Durall (the author) had other commitments last I heard, and the nature of "BRP" will have changed by the time he gets back to it.

Simlasa Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The BRP book I most avidly hoped for...Not that it HAS to have BRP or Chaosium on the cover for me to buy it... it's Jason's project so I'm thinking he could/should shop it around... if he's still got any interest in it.

Sirhc Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 With the reshuffling at Chaosium, I hope Jason is able to shop it around for publication. I also have been avidly hoping for it for a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vile Traveller Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Jason was at The Kraken so maybe he had a chance to talk about this with Chaosium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterioso Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 This is one that would be ideal to be released as a book with the rules thoroughly integrated throughout. It could draw in folks that more traditional fantasy does not pull in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifletraxor Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Likelihood of BRP Interplanetary ever seeing the light of day is probably slim, as I know there are several other projects he's now committed to.

Jason D Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi! I don't have a ton of time at the moment, but wanted to drop in, clarify some stuff, and offer some hope.After BRP, I had to quietly put Interplanetary on a backburner for a number of reasons that should be obvious by now. I won't bother explaining all the details. That's in the past, and forward movement is better than reflection over what could have been. I had thoughts about publishing it with one of the other BRP-based publisher, but due to my limited bandwidth, other commitments, and life issues, I wasn't able to put forth much effort there. With the change in management at Chaosium, some of those options are no longer viable. On the other hand, I expect that the coming months/years will see me actively involved with Chaosium and BRP than any time in the past six years, so suddenly everything has changed. This might mean that it becomes a Chaosium release again, or I do something with one of the remaining licensees. And in one of those crazy side coincidences, I may also be working with Modiphius on their upcoming John Carter of Mars RPG, which treads the same alien path. In the worst case, Interplanetary will get cannibalized for that product. However, I suspect strongly that Interplantary will see the light of day sometime in the future, with that title, and for the BRP game system. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirhc Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Jason, I was wondering if, for those who might not have heard of Interplanetary, you could provide info on what kind of material is projected for the book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwolfe Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Sirhc,Check this thread out. It's an old one, but it's from when Interplanetary was a serious soon-to-see possibility. Its got loads of info on what Jason envisioned for the supplement/setting.Cheers!
