Message: <blockquote data-quote="aramis erak" data-source="post: 9246640" data-attributes="member: 6779310">Greg Stafford, one of the founders of The Chaosium (now having dropped the definite article in most uses), is the author of Pendragon (1e, 3e, 4e, 5e, and much of 6e. There is officially no 2e), is also the co-author of the original 1980 Basic Role Playing, by Greg Stafford and Lynn Willis. Greg has stated categorically in several occasions that Pendragon is BRP derived. It's not even that far from that BRP...Both use a single hit point total.The Att List for Pendragon drops Int and Power from the 7 standard BRP atts, changes Charisma to Appearance,  leaving Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Size and App the same, and in the same range. (Size being 2d6+6 is in line with later BRP settings, but the 1980 BRP used 3d6 for all)Pendragon drops the "Impaling" level of success (also called "Special Success" in some later BRP line games) but keeps CF, F, S, CS...Both set a default set of skills to specific levels; BRP's are in increments of 5... Pendragon's are culturally determined, rather than species related. Worlds of Wonder was a 1981 boxed set, with 3 settings and the 1980 BRP. Those settings are Magic World, Future World, and Super World. The reason these are worth mention is that Drakkar och Demoner was a translation and minor alteration, under license, of BRP 1e & Magic World. Into Swedish. The 4th edition of DoD has moved to a 1d20 instead of 1d100 mechanic, dropping size as a numeric (but making it a label). It also is known in it's new English translation as Dragonbane...Note also, the RuneQuest line always has had more skills than the original BRP, or even all of WoW...And most of the other BRP family were built off of a RuneQuest base.[HR][/HR]As for Mouse Guard...Advancement in Mouse Guard requires Level-1 failures and level successes, all with consequences set, no skill can get more than one mark per combat.Training time isn't accounted for directly, but the winter phase provides some training.</blockquote>
