Basic Roleplaying Quickstart Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In this BRP Quick-Start booklet, Chaosium has collected the essential Basic Roleplaying rules for a quick introduction to one of the most influential roleplaying systems in the world.

Basic Roleplaying was designed to be intuitive and easy to play. Most Basic Roleplaying mechanics are simple and logical.

Virtually all rolls determining success or failure of a task are determined via the roll of percentile dice.

  • The system is remarkably friendly to newcomers. It is easy to describe the basics of the game system to non-gamers.
  • Players of other game systems find Basic Roleplaying to be much less mechanistic and less of a barrier to the actual act of roleplaying.
  • Most of the information players need to know is present on their character sheet.
  • Characters evolve based on practicing the skills they use the most, and do not arbitrarily gain experience based on ephemeral elements such as levels or experience ranks.
  • Combat can be quick and deadly — often the first blow to land is the deciding blow.
  • The internal consistency of Basic Roleplaying allows for rules judgements to be made rapidly and with little searching through the rulebook for special cases.

I will start off by saying anything that is FREE should automatically get 3 stars. I happened upon this while in search of an RPG to play. I had about a 15 year hiatus from RPGs and wanted to get back into it. The $0 price tag caught my eye instantly. [...]

As the Introduction states, this is a distillation of the core of Chaosium's Basic Role Playing system, the mechanic that has powered many of the company's best-known games such as Call of Cthulhu and RuneQuest. While the full system fills many pages, [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
