Been away for over a year! Now am adapting material to BRP and the worlds beyond system. I like the skill system and character creation is easy as well. Any insights from anyone?

Never heard of that until now, the only thing I could find was;

What material are you adapting?

I've actually had this on the back of my mind for a long long time.  As a fan of RuneQuest I really like the BRP mechanics.  I have the hit locations for all the core for races written out somewhere.  I'll see if I can find them.

Almost as long as the time between issues of the Star Frontiersman, I'll bet. Tongue out

I'm a big fan of BRP and have been since I started running Call of Cthulhu.  Good luck.

I provided hit locations as both a d100 and a d20 so you can use whichever.  Obviously BRP uses the d20 but since Star Frontiers is d100 based, you could use these hit locations as an optional rule in SF.

Thanks did a thumbnail for Klingons and XCom. It's at BRP central    I just got the book Worlds Beyond, with that and Other Suns etc, wont be hard. And Since the SF system is basically % , the only real problems I have noticed is trying to translate the original rolls to BRP as they are load to the low side, as compared to BRP.
