I am a advid fan of BRP,runequest,worlds of wonder:(futureworld,superworld,magic world),stormbringer .call of cthulhu, etc. and would love to contribute. course i suppose its not easy to be a play testor. im very interested in the proposed Deluxe BRP infact i have created multigenera worlds usings BRP rules. but i would prefer a definitive set of rules made by chaosium. something that is official. i think a Deluxe BRP is a great step for chaosiums future, and im sure that alot of hard core chaosiumnites will agree . i only wish they had done it sooner. if it is possible to become a playtestor let me know what the criteria for becoming ione is. thanks! ever since i heard of a possible Deluxe BRP i have been searching online for any news on it that i can find. well anyways have a good day How does one become a play testor?

I've had a chance to do some testing. However I haven't tested and of the power types in relation to each other. That being said, they all look as though they should work together nicely (at least on paper) as they are very consistent with one another. Play testing is pretty much over and the rules are now in Chaosium's hands. i would expect to hear an announcement about publication fairly soon. By the way I'm running another site dedicate to Basic Role Playing, RuneQuest and the d20 systems called <a href="http://www.metamythos.net" title="MetaMythos" rel="nofollow">MetaMythos</a> (<a href="http://www.metamythos.net/blog" title="MetaMythos Blog" rel="nofollow">Blog</a>) Thanks for the comments.

Now that I see it, I withdraw the question. So yes, people do read your blog they just don't do it very well! Have fun with the playtest and, if you could, seriuosly stress the rules to see how far they will go before they break. I was part of the Superworld playtest years ago and finding the holes in things was often the most rewarding part. Joseph Paul Dear jagwire,

What do you think? Looking for some indication of how the powers section integrates with the rest of the rules and with each of the other power styles. Will it end up being as flexible as HERO's "choose the effect then build a power to match it" or will it rely on artificial definitions/divisions based on the origin of the powers? Much thanks for any light that you can shed on this. Joseph Paul Get any playtest time with the BRP rules yet? What do you think?
