OK, I've been reading through the forums trying to see how this stuff works and can be edited/modified.
My question is what is the best way to go about changing a ruleset to mirror another game system. Would it be best to use an extension?
What I am trying to do is tweak the current BRP Ruleset to be more like the HarnMaster system (they are already very close due to being d100 systems). This means a new skill list (actually only removing some, renaming others and maybe adding a couple) and maybe changing the Stat names and some other cosmetic things to match HarnMaster's naming conventions. I am not looking to totally rewrite it or make it 100% like HarnMaster just have much of the same information showing/displaying to match the HarnMaster rulebook.
I am NOT planning to really use this to run online games but am wanting to use it as the foundation/GM Tool for a Play by Post game to track PC's (their Stats, Skills and equipment mainly), maps, creatures and NPC's. I will be doing all the die rolling and such stuff based on player actions in the play by post.
Any ideas, recommendations or suggestions?
