I ran across this and thought wow!

Alephtar Games Plans For 2012 (https://www.alephtargames.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=70%3Aplans-2012&catid=1%3Alatest-news&Itemid=1&lang=en)
The result of all this is that Alephtar Games will once again concentrate on a single game system, that is Basic Roleplaying by Chaosium. You might wonder why we chose BRP among the many d100 systems that are on the market at the moment, especially because it is the only one that is not free for third party licensors (!). The reason is simple, and it is the fact that Chaosium is the only company that has a clearly defined – albeit slowly implemented – plan for moving its production to new platforms and technologies. BRP is the only d100 ruleset to have an official online version, with its Fantasy Grounds expansion module, and Chaosium is the only d100 publisher to be actively seeking to expand in the new market of portable devices. As the ultimate goal of Alephtar Games is not that of revelling in the past glories of the Good Ol' Days, but attracting new players and introducing them to a solid, traditional-yet-evolving style of play, our choice is inevitably to look for the broadest possible variety of formats for our products.
I think the job being done to improve FG and make sure that game publishers can make decisions like this deserves some recognition. Good job and thanks for all you do!
