ReplyDeleteI always liked their rules, although I only played CoC regularly, and that was 15+ years ago. However, I will never figure out their SIZ stat, that thing is just all over the place...
ReplyDeleteThere's also lots of free supplements for Basic roleplaying on these two sites:

And even if you don't read German (or merely fail your Read Languages roll), the German Cthulhu quickstart rules are worth a look:

Basic Roleplaying is an RPG system in the way that GURPS is (though less widely aimed and physics-y).
ReplyDeleteBRP isn't really 'based' on any Chaosium game, it's more of a compendium of Stormbringer!, Call of Cthulhu and RuneQuest have in common. In the case of BRP-Lite it's a fairly boiled down set of options.
BRP/d100 are some of my favorites.
If I remember right, SIZ is based on mass. It's not "all over the place." And at least it isn't like STR in D&D somehow giving one greater accuracy when hitting.
