Basic Roleplaying - The Chaosium System (BRP)
In den kommenden Tagen sollte das eigenständige 'Basic Role Playing' System¸ das in den meisten Chaosium-Produkten verwendet wird¸ auch hierzulande erhältlich sein. Ein gute Möglichkeit¸ Spieler das System daheim kennenlernen zu lassen¸ ohne unfreiwillig Hintergrundinformationen rauszurücken.
The Chaosium System Basic Roleplaying is an introductory roleplaying game for beginners by Greg Stafford and Lynn Willis. It features an excellent¸ time-tested game system¸ easily understood rules¸ many examples of play¸ and a fun introductory scenario.
This is a short universal system¸ although as originally published it only supported fantasy or early history. The original booklet was intended as an introduction for beginners to Chaosium's RuneQuest¸ Call of Cthulhu¸ and Stormbringer games which used roughly the same system. Basic Role Playing is a percentile skill system: roll under skill(0-100) on percentile dice¸ or roll on the 'resistance table' for attribute (3-18) vs. difficulty. Character creation is random-roll attributes. In the introductory booklet¸ skills are fixed but can be improved with experience.
