I think it's pretty good. Back in the day, I ran a lot of BRP (Runequest 2nd, Elfquest, Stormbringer and Elric, CoC). I've also run Mythras stuff. That said, I haven't run BRP by itself, though I have the BGB, and now have the UGE in my hands. I'm currently running a campaign in Savage Worlds...

Ah, I see. Have to reread the section on Soft and Hard armor as well; I realize systems are starting to mix in my head and I'm thinking of Savage Worlds a lot.

I personally find the first part okay mechanically; it means the extra damage (enchancement) doesn’t matter unless you hit. For the second, that’s okay too, since criticals represent something different damage-wise than straight damage through the Scale system (though I’ll be honest and say I...

That pretty much fits what the Aeon Society is for (though, given the hopeful theme, as you said, I feel like any of the presented organizations would do, really). Don't have my Aeon book yet but I also really like the hopeful feel of the game settings; I've injested enough jaded grimdark...

Thanks for the welcome! Also, yeah, the old one was...weird, mechanically. It's one reason it took me so long to get around to this new version from Onxy Path; the old one had so many mechanical weirdnesses (the whole botch thing, or weapon dice added to weapon rolls, meaning the more deadly a...

For my purposes, I specifically want to talk about Core, Aberrant and Aeon, and of course, I'm talking the latest versions using Onxypath. Basically, I REALLY like the system. Like, I really enjoy it so far from what I'm reading. Aberrant is a touch crunchier than I expected. Lots of pieces to...

Will take a look. Trying to at least come up with a table I like and figuring out how to get REP (since the game seems to imply one can...).

Interesting find! In reading the book, in the equipment section, I found the Salaries table, and the REP values there for different jobs and ranks seem more...logical? These I think I can follow. Just need to make a chart for it.

Well, yeah, I know. Sort of poking at the logic, to make sure I get it, before designing my own.

As said, new to the game but a long time gamer (30+ years). Just discovered OLD and NEW (ordered the books, which will arrive shortly, but reading the PDFs now). On page 50 of NEW, I noticed they mention linking REP and rank - that's awesome! I love it! However... From what I can tell, you...
