BRP is my old school.  Back in 1980 when my pals were playing AD&D1, I was being my own little brand of swine - "this game doesn't need alignments, anyone can use weapons, anyone can use spells, there are no character classes!" I ran for my fellow teens the Borderlands campaign under Chaosium RQ2 and we had a blast.

I've been very pleased lately with both the pro-published BRP iterations (Mongoose RQ, RQ6, BRP Gold Book, Magic World) as well as fan clones (OpenQuest).  I want to both generate interest, find out and support fan projects, worlds and adventures, and otherwise do what I can to support one of my favorite strains of trad gaming.

Who here is either playing or writing BRP related stuff?

I'm playing in a Call of Cthulhu campaign currently. Not GMing anything in it at the moment but I don't doubt I will sooner or later.

I'm seriously considering running Masks of Nyarlathotep this year, or failing this, a pulpy CoC game centered around the ill-fated Fawcett expedition which sought a lost city in the wetlands of central Brazil.

I'm also toying with the idea of a "prehistoric fantasy" mini-campaign using RQ6, with shamanistic primitives (Old Europeans) and theistic nomads (Proto-Indo-Europeans) warring over the Old World and setting their differences apart when civilized, sorcerous Atlanteans fresh off the boat start waving bronze swords, taking slaves and summoning demons and building pyramids and generally behaving like civilized, sorcerous assholes.

Various iterations of BRP do great at variouskinds of spirit magic and have actually attempted to tackle stone age people as PCs, so this looks awesome.  I'd game it in a heartbeat.

We wrapped up our CoC by Gaslight-campaign a few months ago.
Now I run RQ6 with the die-hards in a Borderlands-hack. I'm more than a bit excited about the mythic Greece and Byzantine-books TDM has in the works.

Middle of last year, I finished up a long campaign in MRQII. The setting concept was: what happens when you're on a neolithic or paleolithic continent with very sporadic contact with early bronze age traders? Then what should arrive crashing into the neolithic world? The fallout of a religious conflict between bronze age necromancers and a new messianic after-life religion that, for obvious reasons, sees necromancy as the worst of offences. And these new religionists has some very powerful spirit magic and start attacking the paleolithic realm of myth and... and...

Anyway, the background campaign was inspired from just reading the MRQII rulebook. What RQ gives you is a way to combine the macroworld of legend, myth, history, etc. but focuses on the microworld lives of common people - people who were thrust into the big picture and became heroic because of it.

It's a really powerful game, and RQ6 is better yet.

Any news on Magic World?  I want to pick up that and the BRP gold book in one fell swoop when it finally comes out.

I have played Vikings with MRQII in 2012 and I am planning a major RQ6 game set in our shared world of Gwenthia in 2013.

I'll soon be running an in-house mini campaign for my Swedish group using the forthcoming Monster Island. I haven't decided yet whether to have them roll up 1930's pulp characters or the more traditional S&S types... but after washing ashore they should have a lot of fun running from huge beasts, looting ancient tombs, and being horrified by the local native traditions.

I run BRP/RQ/CoC campaigns all the time, but I'm currently in a lull since I'm not involved in a gaming group. I could rattle off some of the  campaigns I've run using d100 systems over the past few years...

• 2012 - Masks of Nyarlathotep using Call of Cthulhu.
• 2011 - a short Old West/Cthulhu campaign using a houseruled CoC system.
• 2010 - a S&S campaign using MRQ2 and Xoth Publishing's Spider God's Bride.
• 2009 - a fantasy homebrewed setting that used a mish-mash of BRP Gold Book and RQ3.
• 2008 - I ran Pagan Publishing's Coming Full Circle using CoC.
  

As for writing, I contributed an adventure to the RQ6 Book of Quests which is due out in another month or two.

This post, on BRP Central, is the latest word I've seen on Magic World.

In addition to what people are saying here, some other places to talk BRP related games are:

I've been running a fantasy campaign using BRP/Stormbringer. We're on hiatus though until the end of the month.

I'd like to start up a COC campaign again, but probably won't get to that till Spring.

I'm getting ready to run Swords of Cydoria (swords-and-planet-and-sorcery, sort of).

Holy shit! How come I never heard of this?

It reads like BRP Encounter Critical and I mean this in the best possible way (I love me some EC).
