But, what I was more interested in doing was a completely self-contained RPG core book, which can be expanded with supplements, but does not rely on them.<br /><br />As it stands, the book includes more than 60 creatures (all of which can be PCs, if you're so inclined) nearly 100 spells, numerous enchanted treasures, a full system for nautical adventuring, and more.<br /><br />Trimming/dropping some of that could have got it down to 100 pages, but then it would have -needed- supplements later.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy the game in any case. I'm very much looking forward to what people have to say about it when it comes out.Ben Monroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097272298961101924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-48971869236773038512012-03-25T07:49:29.575-04:002012-03-25T07:49:29.575-04:00I really enjoyed the original MagicWorld way back ...I really enjoyed the original MagicWorld way back when. With BRP basic booklet it was really all the fantasy RPG someone with a little imagination needed who wasn't in the mood for true D&D.<br />I'd be happier to see the new core book clocking in under 100 pages and adding on later in supplements. But I liked the recentish giant BRP goldbook so I'm not really complaining.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-85536504044047107102012-03-24T00:11:40.984-04:002012-03-24T00:11:40.984-04:00Yay!
