Awesome P.A. RPG that I can't Play!!! : P

Awhile back my buddy Joe sent me this really cool Post Apocalyptic RPG. It is called Mutant Undergangens Arvtagare. If your going huh? That's understandable because it is in Swedish!! It looks like a very Gamma Worldesque game set in a Post Apocalyptic Europe, particularly in and around Sweden. Lots of support for it at one time over in Sweden, but it now seems to be Out of Print.  So I guess the chances of this being ever officially translated to English are slim to none. Aahh the humanity!
 In trying to interpret the rules (I don't read Swedish) it seems to be based off of the BRP system. The art is quite good. Here are some pictures to show you what I'm talking about.













Pretty cool!  I can at least use it as inspiration for my Mutant Future or other Post Apocalyptic Campaigns.
Thanks Joe!

Latest Acquisitions...Bargains!!


     Here's the latest additions to my RPG collection.  All three of the above were acquired at bargain prices!  I know the systems are all over the place, guess I'm just an eclectic gamer!  Everstone is one I had not heard of before, until I saw Tetsubo talk about it over on his Youtube Channel.  It is d20 based, specifically off of the BESM d20 system. While lately I have shied away from 3.x based games this one looked pretty interesting and I couldn't resist the price.  $5 bucks!  That's right I picked this up for only $5 and its a hardback book.  The art is pretty good, and the whole setting has some cool features to it, reminds me in some ways of the Eberron setting, but I like this setting better than Eberron. Anyways check out Tetsubo's post if you want more info about it, he goes into a pretty detailed review of the game.  Next is the Basic Roleplaying System Core Rulebook, AncientVaults hooked me up with this copy for a great price.  I haven't had time to really read much of it, but it looks like a pretty solid system and I saw where there is a recently released P.A. Campaign released for BRP called Rubble & Ruin, so I may have to check that out.  Finally I recently found the Savage Worlds pre-Explorer's edition of 50 Fathoms in the bargain bin at my FLGS.  One of my gaming buds (Derelict Man) gave it a good review and for the price I had to pick it up.  I am glad I did.  It's a great book, awesome resource for Savage Worlds. Now I've just got to find the time to play some of these games.  *sigh*
Good Gaming -B

Is BRP right for me??



 I'm looking for a gritty, universal system that is rules lite but will let me tinker with it as needed.  I need something that allows for mutations, as well as, magic. Something that lets me mix and match genres, and is easy for me, the GM to work up my own critters/races and monsters. I need something that is easy for folks unfamiliar with the rules to pick up quickly as well.  Oh and I don't want to have to do MATH in combat!!

Could anyone give me some info about BRP??  I've heard it might be what I am looking for.

 I just downloaded the quickstart rules and am looking them over but thought some of you esteemed folks that have played it or have it could give me some feedback.


  I've never played CoC or the other Chaosium system games (sorry those are some of the few classic RPG's that I've never played), So telling me its like CoC or Elric won't really help me.
Thanks in advance!
