dracopticon Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 This has almost certainly been addressed here before, but I haven't seen any thread on it. The question is: I need conversion from other systems to BRP, for example from AD&D to BRP, is there any such help given anywhere, where I could get it? Thankful for any answer. Erik B.

Guest Vile Traveller Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I know there have been specific conversions from one system to BRP all over the web, But I have never seen a sort of "conversion system" that would work for multiple systems. I wonder if such a thing would even be possible. By AD&D I presume you're talking about 1st or 2nd edition? D&D 3rd edition is actually very simple to convert, as the d20 system easily converts into percentages, and the 3d6 characteristic base is the same (although there seems to be some kind of exponential growth in D&D 3rd edition beyond a characteristic of 20 or so).

By AD&D I presume you're talking about 1st or 2nd edition? Yep, that's right. And also other systems, such as Gurps, Rolemaster, etc. Well, I'll have a look see on the net. Thanks! Erik.

Guest Vile Traveller Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well, it's not AD&D, but here's a Traveller conversion: Traveller/BRP Rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tal Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Gurps Cthuthlu punk had conversions from CoC to Gurps and it's not hard to reverse the conversion. Finding Cthuthlu Punk might be more difficult. Quote 141/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK Games Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 D20 CoC had conversion rules didnt it? As does D20 Star Wars to D6 Star Wars. With a little tweaking and time you can take D6 stuff to D20 and then D20 to BRP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_mitts Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Here's GURPS-to-CoC rules. NEMESIS has conversion rules for ORE-to-COC, and D20 is readily converted to CoC. I also remember seeing a Tri-Stat-to-CoC conversion out there, but I'll have to look for it, and InSpectres did a really rather fun CoC "conversion." Well; setting. Sort of...

dracopticon Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Many, many thanks to all of you! This is great. Now, all I had to do, said the man, was some tweaking... Hmm... Well that's gonna be some tweaking! Erik. Quote "I intend to live forever, or die trying" - Groucho Marx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which systems? Why do you need more than one? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracopticon Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Which systems?. I'd say AD&D (as a matter of fact, even the 3rd ed D&D would come in handy), Gurps and - if it's possible - the age-old system of Judges Guild. Then Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (1st ed) wouldn't hurt... just to name a few. Perhaps even old system parts by Task Force Games, like the ones they use in the Central Casting-books. Why do you need more than one? Just curious. Because I am a collector of quite a few different RPG (FRP mostly) books from all kinds of different publishers, both old OOP and new ones. And I intend to use a lot of these books and their material (modified) in my own world of EBROS. I fervently collect fantasy communities, such as cities, towns and villages to be able to easier populate my central continent. Atleast that's the plan.

Dredj Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 You can convert FUDGE style. Look at the right of the screen for the free download of FUDGE. FUDGE uses adjectives to describe skill and attribute ranges. Grey Ghost Press, Inc. - FUDGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
