styopa Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Ah, so THAT'S what "BGB" people are referring to in another thread. I have it, and didn't know the reference. Congrats, seems like a strong addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Oh, how not surprised this leaves me Anyway, it is good seeing Jason back at work on something D100. I was starting to fear that something might have Modiphied his love for BRP. 1 Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiorgan Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 This is great news to see Jason Durall back to d100. As a fan of both "RQ-the-Gloranthan-RPG" and "BRP-the-d100-system" I am delighted. So, now I'm guessing who is going to edit that slim BRP Essentials booklet .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickMiddleton Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Weird, I thought this had been said in some official capacity a while back, but apparently I was mis-remembering things. Ah well, congratulations Jason, best of luck with the new gig! Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, congratulations Jason, best of luck with the new gig! Nick I remember two things... Very early on JD had given his feedback (which remained confidential) on a draft of BRP Essentials based on RQ6. I think this was the booklet that has now become "Mithras Imperative". At a later point, when RQ6 had already been set aside, he was listed among several people "giving feedback" on the manuscript of the new RQ. So, the news would be that he now has a much bigger role as editor of the whole manuscript. Edited July 25, 2016 by smiorgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, Jeff & company determined that it would be more expedient to begin with a core system (RQ4) and summarize it into an Essentials-style booklet than it would be to build a summarized game and try to expand it from there. I have done copious feedback on the in-progress first draft of RQ4, and have been working closely with Jeff. As we both live in Berlin and game regularly, it's been quite convenient.

I was starting to fear that something might have Modiphied his love for BRP. I can say with a fair amount of confidence that I'll happily work on d%-based games until I retire, and probably past then. Even my work with Modipius began with a campaign for Achtung! Cthulhu, based on the d% Call of Cthulhu rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - Jeff goes into a bit about how we came to this conclusion in an earlier design notes. Interestingly, the original BRP also came about in the same way, following after RQ2.
