Why Isn't Basic Roleplaying Listed on the fantasygrounds.com Home Page?

[kronovan]

The BRP ruleset should really be listed on the home page under Multi-genre Game Systems. I realize this ruleset has an on maintenance status, but having recently bought it I've found it functional enough to run a BRP campaign. Is it that much more on maintenance than N.E.W. WOIN, which is listed under that heading on the home page?

i suggest you raise the subject on Basicroleplaying.org, too. Commitment by the game producer is another important factor in determining priorities for rulesets.

It was one of the older systems that has been around for a very long time and doesn't necessarily represent what the newer rulesets offer. Several of the key modules were also delisted by request of Chaosium since they were out of print and no longer available for sale.

I submitted a support ticket with Smitheworks on this issue, with the result that Basic Roleplaying is now listed on the front webpage under the Multi-genre Game Systems heading. So it looks like not including BRP on the front webpage, was simply a mistake.

How interested in Chaosium in supporting VTT platforms at present? I received a copy of the BRP Universal Game Engine edition, which is mostly open content now, and while I believe I own the current BRP system a new one wouldn't hurt. There are also at least five different publishsers of BRP-based material out there. Is there sufficient interest to make it worth SW's and Chaosium's time?

They are definitely interested in getting all of their content on FG. In order to do so, however, we would need to work with engaged community developers. We just don’t have the bandwidth to do all the game systems we would like to support internally.

If you or anyone else is interested, please contact [email protected].

It's times like this I wish I could code... But this does look like a cat-belling situation, doesn't it?

Is the rules set the older golden book, or the more recent one? If the older, is there any plans on updating it?

I think the previous comments answered that question, and so does the image on the store. It is the old Gold edition, and unless a community developer steps up to update it, currently it will stay that way.
