Chaosium's New RPG Is A GAME CHANGER 

BTW Pendragon doesn't use percentile dice, it uses d20s, but the same concept of rolling under the value. (It's my favorite game.)

I just finished running another session for my heist game using Basic Roleplaying Game. Now that there is an updated version of the generic system, this is really awesome! I have been loving the system so I am definitely gonna pick this up and try it out as a fan of the original.

The original Worlds of Wonder, which had the three settings had a matrix on how different weapon types interact with different armor types. The one that I thought was interesting and still remember is plasma weapons act as magic for countermagic defenses.

I have the pdf looking forward to getting the physical copy. I plan on converting some of my hero system and gurps adventures to it.

Definitely picking this up

Really good and informative video!

Try Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (SWADE) you will be shocked and amazed at how they do things. BRP is also nice, I also checked Legend family tree of Runequest system. Yes, they are solid.

So the old one was reverently called "The Big Gold Book" - what is this one's nickname?

Very cool

That takes me right back to GURPS and the joy I got from reading it when I was a young'un, all those years ago :) looks interesting, and thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

Call of Cthulhu, Pendragon, RuneQuest. Combat is very dangerous, it's best to avoid combat, for the most part a roll to the head, or torso can kill the PC, depending on how much damage was taken.

That's a great system,does everything from Star Wars to Conan,its really great for turning your favourite settings from fiction into a game setting.i had the older edition,I'll be definitely getting this one.

How is this different than the 2008 Big Gold Book?

Regarding Intelligent vs. Charisma..."A smart person knows what to say, a wise person knows whether to say it or not."

What's the difference from previous editions?

Sounds good.

Calling this a game changer when it's just an update to the existing BRP gold book that's been around for over a decade is a bit hyperbolic.

This is not a new RPG or system... It is nearly as old as D&D but with good rules 😉 Honestly I never understood why this system never had much exposure.

Not a big fan of the ORC licence myself, because of the forced share-alike elements.

Savage Worlds already exists and is rules lite, ACTUALLY rules lite

The Genesys system and Star Wars rpg from FFG were real game changers, this is nothing new

If it's easier to create completely new classes and races that are balanced than 5e is, I'm in.

Lightly updated. Barely updated.

Still prefer Fudge, the 10th Anniversary version has sub-systems for everything… easy to customize. UPDATE: I have had a chance now to read the whole book, and it is very impressive. For a book only around 250 pages it has rules and sub-systems to cover *everything* you could want for just about any setting or genre. This is really, the most comprehensive generic/universal RPG I have seen. It does a good job at setting the basic rules for medium crunch with plenty of optional rules and guidance to increase or decrease crunch, and some great guidelines to help out GM’s as well. It is however clearly aimed at a more traditional roleplay style. Narrative and storytelling will be entirely up to the GM and players. In this regard, I still favor Fudge, which is inherently more narrative by default, and can be customized to play either more narrative or more traditional.

Even though CoC and DeltaGreen and Eclipse Phase are my favorite games I can't love this system anymore, there are better alternatives now days, specially for horror or storytelling, from 2D20, Pbta, Year Zero Engine, Blades in the Dark, (No FATE not you), Cortex Prime, etc.

Thank you for sharing this. BRP is still not for me. Have you seen that skill list? Spot + Listen. Every weapon is a skill. I really, really want to like it, but BRP is not it. 5e == roll attack. BRP == roll attack, monster rolls parry, so .... you kind of hit, but they parried or dodged it. And, trust me, it gets old fast. I hit. No you didn't. I hit. No you didn't. For the love of all that's holy, I hit... Nah, bruh. You didn't. I rolled really well! That's nice. You still miss. Congrats.
