Anyone tried Chaosium's BRP?


Other RPGs


I have been a long time fan of Call of Cthullu, and was curious if anyon has use the new BRP chaosium has comeout with. I played a game or two using the Quickstart BRP (with COC stuff stirred in)but I'm wondering if it is worth buying the full edition. How "basic" does it stay? Is the magic system good for a fantasy game? Does it have psionics?


BRP, or Basic Roleplaying, IS the system used in Call of Cthulhu, just without the setting-specific stuff included. So if you enjoy playing CoC, then you will not find anything bad about BRP. As for magic and other setting-specific stuff, Chaosium has put out many supplements for BRP, so they are no different than other game publishers in that area.

BRP is the same system used in Call of Cthulhu (and most of Chaosium's other RPGs, as well as others such as RuneQuest). Obviously the setting/genre material is stripped out, but they also add quite a bit of optional subsystems.
