A percentile skill-based system, BRP was used as the basis for most of the games published by Chaosium, including Stormbringer, Worlds of Wonder, Call of Cthulhu, Superworld, Ringworld, Elfquest, Hawkmoon, Elric !, and Nephilim.

The BRP standalone booklet was first released in 1980.

The BRP was notable for being the first role-playing game system to introduce a full skill system to characters regardless of their profession.

BRP was conceived of as a genre-generic engine around which any sort of RPG could be played, much like GURPS and the d20 system have become today.

BRP was developed from a core set of attributes similar to the original Dungeons & Dragons ( D & D ).

Whereas D & D merged armor with defense, BRP treated them as separate functions: the act of parrying was a defensive skill that reduced an opponent's chance to successfully land an attack, and the purpose of armor was to absorb damage.

Chaosium was an early adopter of licensing out its BRP system to other companies, something that was unique at the time they began but rather commonplace now thanks to the d20 licenses.

BRP was used ( through a special arrangement with Swedish Fredrik Malmberg ) as the base for the highly successful Swedish game Drakar och Demoner from Target Games.

BRP was also licensed to Oriflam in France to create a French language second edition of the Hawkmoon game called Hawkmoon, Nouvelle Edition.

BRP was also licensed to Japanese companies.

According to Shannon Appelcline, Chaosium's Basic Role-Playing ( BRP ), published in 1980, was the first generic role-playing system.

BRP was a " cut-down " version of Chaosium's RuneQuest role-playing game ( RPG ) and formed the foundation for the Stormbringer RPG, and was also adopted for Call of Cthulhu, the first horror role-playing game.

Since then, Nephilim had two other editions ( both in French, from Multisim )-the second edition was still akin to the BRP system while the third edition, Nephilim: La Révélation ( The Revelation ) uses a radically different, descriptor-based, system.

Soviet surrender depends on the size of forces in USSR, although there is a BRP penalty for loss of Moscow and / or Leningrad.

Basic Role-Playing ( BRP ) is a role-playing game system which originated in the fantasy-oriented RuneQuest role-playing game rules.

BRP is similar to other generic systems such as GURPS, Hero System or Savage Worlds in that it uses a simple resolution method which can be broadly applied, in this case an attempt to roll under a certain number with percentile dice.

The last major element of many BRP games is that there is no difference between the player character race systems and that of the monster or opponents.

The system used is Chaosium's Basic Role-Playing, with eight basic characteristics: Strength, Constitution, Mass ( equivalent to Size in other BRP games ), Intelligence, Power, Dexterity, Appearance and Education determining secondary attributes such damage modifiers, hit points, and skill rolls.

' BRP is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, catatonic symptoms, and strange speech, but the symptoms last for a very short period ( one day to one month ) after which the individual returns to full normal functioning '.

BRP may be the first breakdown for someone with a chronic psychiatric disorder but only time will tell whether the disorder will be brief or lifelong, whether BRP or a chronic condition that is controlled well enough by medication that symptoms do not return.

British Surrender is determined by a special table, and is affected by BRP levels, loss of objectives and unbuilt units ( it is thus usually a mistake to send too large an expeditionary force to France in 1940 ), and becomes less likely once the USA is in the war and deploys units to Britain.
