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 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.

Although the BRP was banned along with all other political parties after the uprising of 19 May 1934, it continued fielding a handful of non-party National Assembly Deputies and Zhivkov retained his posts at its Sofia structure.

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.

In 2007, BRP announced the launch of a new three-wheeled roadster called the Spyder, which was released in Q4 2007 under the Can-Am brand.

As part of Owen's attempt to make BRM pay its way, the V8 engine was sold to privateers and appeared in a number of other chassis during the 1. 5 L formula, particularly in private Lotus chassis and in smaller marques such as BRP.

The BRP BRM P25 which Stirling Moss drove to second place in the 1959 British Grand Prix, BRP's first podium finish. The race was won by Australian Jack Brabham taking his second Grand Prix victory in a works Cooper T51.

It was the first time a BRP entry finished in the top three.

* In 2011, the newest member of the Philippine Navy, BRP Gregorio del Pilar, was named after him.

* The BRP Rajah Lakandula ( PF-4 ) was the a Destroyer Escort / Frigate and is the only ex-USN Edsall-class destroyer escort that served the Philippine Navy.

The wheel that failed was one that he had obtained from the BRP team after one of his own wheels had developed a crack.

The StarCluster 2 System ( which was used in most of its other products ) was heavily influenced by BRP, and uses ' lifepath '- based character generation and percentile skill resolution, with all resolution being based on trading points between Chance of Success, Quality of Success, and Initiative.

The Rotax Max is a two-stroke engine designed by Rotax, part of Bombardier Recreational Products ( BRP ), to provide cost-effective but high speed kart racing.

The Lab's Bioacoustics Research Program ( BRP ) creates remote recording devices used by researchers in projects around the world.

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.

' 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 '.

Vehicles continuing are now on the Sprain Brook Parkway, for which this is the southern terminus ; traffic for the BRP must exit.

Strategic Warfare units are now cheaper and more plentiful, and combat now takes place each turn ( only a quarter of them being used each turn, with a roll to determine how many BRP losses strategic warfare inflicts as a percentage of the maximum possible ), with SR being reduced for countries which suffer strategic warfare losses ( this particularly affect Britain in the mid-game ).

Each partisan on the map-provided it is behind Axis lines-destroys 1 enemy BRP per turn, which over the course of a long game constitutes a drain on German resources.

Germany has no strategic bombers, but her air factors may bomb London-those which survive combat with the RAF ( who receive + 1 DRM for this kind of combat ) each inflict 1 BRP loss.

In contrast, the three wheeled BRP Can-Am Spyder Roadster uses two front wheels which do not lean, and so it steers like a car.

In North White Plains, the area that the road passes through becomes a little less developed as it goes over a gentle rise from which a short connector runs downhill to the traffic circle where the BRP ends and the Taconic State Parkway begins, just south of Kensico Dam.

Britain has a base of 125 BRPs, but as any BRP deficit from Strategic Warfare reduces the base, she often has to set aside half her BRPs to absorb U-Boat losses in mid-war.

BRP games in Japanese are Houkago Kaiki Club ( 1997, school life and horror, Hobby Japan ), Genom Seed ( 2004, mutant action, Shinkigensha ) and Taitei no Ken RPG ( 2007, SciFi-jidaigeki, based on movie of the same title, Shinkigensha ).

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.

The increased effectiveness of air factors against fleets makes Britain more vulnerable to invasion, and in the middle years of the war Britain often finds herself suffering BRP losses and reduced SRs from German U-boats, and with many of her fleets pinned down defending the home islands or engaging in anti-submarine warfare, she may be greatly outnumbered by the Italian navy in the Mediterranean.

The snowmobile market is now divided up between the four large North American makers ( Bombardier Recreational Products ( BRP ), Arctic Cat, Yamaha, and Polaris ) and some specialized makers like the Quebec-based AD Boivin ( manufacturer of the Snow Hawk ) and the European Alpina Snowmobiles.

The fantasy game supplement Thieves World, based on the popular series of books by Robert Lynn Asprin, used both the system for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons as well as the RuneQuest variation of the BRP for character statistics, representing the two most popular game systems of the time.

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.

Other, non-Chaosium games have used BRP for its core rules.

The US economic base starts at 150 BRPs, but besides the usual percentage growth process grows automatically by 10 BRP per turn, then 20 BRP per turn after entering the war, so by 1944-5 the US economy will have grown to colossal size.

As well as the 1942 and 1944 scenarios included in the original game ( although the German BRP totals in these have now been corrected ), " Advanced Third Reich " also includes new 1940 and 1941 scenarios, as well as an introductory Barbarossa scenario, covering the German invasion of the USSR in 1941.
