Basic Roleplaying: The Universal Game Engine is coming in April!
*
This updated edition of BRP includes everything you need to create your own games using the lauded Chaosium D100 system.
*
Basic Roleplaying (“BRP”), is the game engine that powers Chaosium’s most popular games including Call of Cthulhu and RuneQuest. For 40 years the BRP system has been lauded for intuitive and easy-to-understand “roll low” mechanics, which makes games designed with BRP accessible and quick to learn. BRP games keep the focus on roleplaying, and exploring the setting that the game master has prepared.
*
At the core, most Chaosium Roleplaying games use a variation of the BRP/Basic Roleplaying System, which started with RuneQuest.
Call of Cthulhu, StormBringer, SuperWorld, Pendragon, and others (including, most recently Rivers of London) followed.

This release serves as an update to the core BRP system. Under the new Open RPG Creative License (ORC), game creators are free to use the BRP rules engine to develop their own games, royalty-free and without further permission from Chaosium.

“Chaosium was one of the first game companies to sign on to the Open RPG Creative License initiative being spearheaded by our friends at Paizo,” said Chaosium COO Neil Robinson. “We’re pleased to have our core rules system released under the ORC as an example of an open RPG license that anyone can use.”
*
Basic Roleplaying: The Universal Game Engine will be released in PDF in April, and will be available directly from Chaosium.com, and DriveThru RPG.
A hardcover release will follow later in 2023.
