#RPGaDay2023

3. First RPG bought (this year)
Went though my account and saw HumbleBundle January 1st and got excited, but it was just the bank date. Humble's purchase date was December 30th. It was the #Vaesen & #ForbiddenLands bundle.

A bit further I found an 11SEK purchase from Drivethough on the 10th. Apparently it was a sale going on the then as I got #BasicRoleplaying for 1US$. Kind of a steal. Have yet to actually download the PDF and read anything. Just an offer too good to pass by.

Solo Tales Ep4 Skeletons! continuing the solo actual play #ttrpg using #basicroleplaying aka #brp https://shows.acast.com/622365def51ea90015c7a387/6453f9407ef10f00114775ec

@mdhughes @cybergoths @ttrpg @Chaosium

Legend and OpenQuest are fantasy games, not generic systems like #BasicRoleplaying. I don't think Mythras is free.

#ttrpg #d100 #BRP

Just to let any interested folk know, Solo Tales Ep2 “Back To Crag’s Ruin” - which continues my #basicroleplaying #solo #ttrpg dramatisation - is now unlocked for anyone to listen to: https://www.patreon.com/posts/81400985?utm_campaign=postshare_creator

#BasicRoleplaying does most things by rolling under a percentage on #d100. It's simpler than it looks.

#BRP #GURPS

@cstross @cybergoths @rivetgeek Charlie, does that mean it won't be a #BasicRoleplaying game?

@zdl @ttrpg @Chaosium @TanaPigeonWMG @ppm

Hey Peter of Parts Per Million! I'm told (by someone on this very thread) that you're currently creating a bespoke #solo #oracle for #BasicRoleplaying. Is that true, and if so, can you give us a taste? When will it be available, approximately?

Also, welcome to the Fediverse!

#TTRPG #BRP

I'd love to play a #TTRPG system that combined the roll-under percentile dice mechanics of #BasicRoleplaying with the rich sourcebooks and #InfiniteWorlds backdrop of #GURPS. For solo #RPG adventures, I'd use #MatrixGames as an oracle:

I mean, this is kind of what I do anyway, but I'd like it to be integrated. Maybe with #ORC! Do you think #SteveJacksonGames can be talked into liberating GURPS?

@ttrpg #BRP #SJG @Chaosium

@cybergoths @ttrpg @Chaosium I'm referring to the new free #BasicRoleplaying. The earlier edition only has some of those things.

@cybergoths @ttrpg @Chaosium My first game was AD&D as GM and player, followed by a bit of #Traveller (I'm not sure I ever got to play, as the chargen was exhausting). I briefly GMed a homebrew #BasicRoleplaying game called #Superheroes Against #Cthulhu (#CoC and #Superworld). I've also played #Fiasco, and probably some other stuff I can't recall. I don't have time to GM these days, but I keep hoping someone will run a #BRP or #GURPS game that will appeal.

@cell @Chaosium @ttrpg

I agree, there should be free/open #TTRPG systems for everyone, but right now I'm excited that the #BasicRoleplaying system has finally been liberated!

@cybergoths @ttrpg @Chaosium

Finally, I'd like to see free/open game systems for everyone's tastes, but #Fate/#Fudge just isn't crunchy enough for mine, so please pardon me for being exuberant that the #BasicRoleplaying system has finally been liberated! 😀

Because it's the first "Universal Game Engine" released under the free #ORC license, the new #BasicRoleplaying is poised to become the #Linux / open source software of the #TTRPG world. You can do almost whatever you like with the text of the book, including copy it, subject to the license.

I love #GURPS too, but it's not free & open the way #BRP is - yet.

Get BRP from #Chaosium or #DriveThruRPG, and pretty soon, all over the web.

@Chaosium @ttrpg

I have no financial link with Chaosium.

No General Products hulls in the new #BasicRoleplaying #UniversalGameEngine edition, alas, but we did get some spacecraft among other vehicles. If you're looking for #Ringworld goodies, both the new #BRP edition and previous edition (it turns out) have monofilament swords in the equipment chapter. Next time: Flashlight-lasers, anyone?

#TTRPG

The new edition of #BasicRoleplaying includes rules for vehicles (it says here). I wonder if we'll see spacecraft, like, I dunno, General Products hulls with the serial numbers painted over (you can't file them off, of course) -- or any other borrowings from #Ringworld after #Chaosium lost the license.

We'll see tomorrow!

#BasicRoleplaying Universal Game Engine release date announced (April 7)

I'm not sure why folks are liking my last post, but it occurs to me that if I'm going to play solo, I don't have to be efficient; I can overkill my games as much as I see fit: #GURPS books, #BasicRoleplaying, #MatrixGames, bring it on

@avram I think I see what you might be going for after reading p174 of #BasicRoleplaying, Opposed Skills Using Highest Successful Result

@avram I don't think it would be hard to adapt. I was thinking of doing something like that (including doubles as criticals, after OpenQuest) in my own game.

Which success thresholds did you mean?

#BRP #BasicRolePlaying

So, my wife got scared s***less by the horrors of Call of Cthulhu #ttrpg from the marvelous beginner's set by @Chaosium not at all a horror-fan.

I, on the other hand really liked the system a lot. So I'll probably go on playing it in other settings.

But I need to find some other #BasicRoleplaying style game that is as easy to run for one player and a beginner GM as the "Paper Chase" adventure was, to continue playing with her. Pulp?
Anyone got any #recommendations for such games ?
