Basic Roleplaying - The Chaosium d100 System

Basic Roleplaying - The Chaosium d100 System

I’d really like to review the published version of Basic Roleplaying.  But I can’t.  As a playtester we are supposed to recieve a copy of the final published rules but while everyone else seems to have recieved theirs I have yet to see a copy in the post as yet.  I’m not sure if I got lost in the shuffle or what even though Dustin confirmed my address.  Once I get a copy I will post my review of it.

I hope those of you that have gotten copies already are enjoying them.  Let us know what you think!

Basic Roleplaying has been loaded onto a truck and is on it’s way to Chaosium.  It’s expected to arrive Tuesday June 24th.  After which I imagine the pre-orders and playtester copies will be shipped out.  That ought to keep the Shipping Shoggoth busy.

Chaosium has also posted the final table of contents which I am re-posting below.

  1. Introduction 5
  2. Characters 15
  3. Skills 46
  4. Powers 85
    1. Magic 89

  6. Combat 187
  7. Spot Rules 211

The core BRP rule book is at the printers, on schedule for a late June release, but Chaosium have announced that copies can be purchased now in PDF format – see here!

And the new BRP isn’t the only PDF available – see here – and they have indicate that more PDF titles are likely to follow.
