The Laundry is the world's only ISO9001-approved occult intelligence agency. As a Laundry officer, you're empowered and bound to investigate bizarre cults, thwart misguided experiments, exorcise demons from computer networks or the brains of voters, and ensure that the world doesn't get destroyed ahead of schedule... and come in under budget, or the Auditors will eat your soul. You can't efficiently protect the United Kingdom from the scum of the multiverse (in an efficient, enterprise-focussed sustainable customer-facing manner) without this employee's handbook. Inside, you'll find: " Advice on tradecraft, tactics, and safe sorcery " New equipment and training courses " Things with tentacles, some of which may be your co-workers " Rules for civilians, external contractors and non-Laundry personnel " Archival notes on the Laundry, including rules for running historical games " Maddening forms and eldritch bureaucracy " And more! The Laundry Files: Agent's Handbook - for those employees who, on the whole, would prefer not to be devoured by alien space gods. Everyone else, form an orderly queue for Cthulhu.

Like Fighting Fire with a Molotov Cocktail Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, that happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain, happy the town whose wizards are all ashes, and happy the line manager whose wizards hath filled in their timesheets for this Sabbat-night. The Laundry―that top-secret, bottom-drawer branch of British espionage―was founded to ensure that magic is kept under control, and that no-one summons the Great Old Ones ahead of schedule. The best way to fight magic is with more magic, which is a little like fighting fire by hitting it with a molotov cocktail. License to Summon explores the dark side of Computational Demonology and arcane science within the Laundry, as well as the magic of other agencies... and other entities. • New spells, new gadgets, new ways to end the world! • The game of Lovecraftian spy thrillers, with a touch of zombies, long-lost Nazis, terrorist cults, foreign agents, and Her Majesty’s Civil Service • Fans of The Laundry Files novels, by Hugo-award winning novelist Charles Stross, will love this game; fans of Paranoia will dig the touch of geeky, The Office-style humor • Compatible with Call of Cthulhu, and with a ton of crossover sales potential!

The forces of fascism have overwhelmed Europe. Britain fights on desperately, and every man and woman must do what is necessary to avoid defeat. In forgotten corners, darkness stirs. The cycles of the ancient god-things are measured in millennia, but those who serve them plot to take advantage of the chaos of conflict to advance their own schemes. For an unlucky few, the war collides with evils out of time, and they see and learn things that humanity is ill-prepared to encounter. The truly unlucky survive, and come to the attention of a certain spymaster, code letter N, who has plans for them. Pressed into service with British intelligence, they are thrown into a desperate two-front war against the Axis forces and the insidious menace of the Cthulhu Mythos. World War Cthulhu: The Darkest Hour is a World War 2 setting book for Call of Cthulhu from the multi-award-winning team of Dominic McDowall, Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan, Jason Durall, Stuart Boon, Martin Dougherty &amp; Ken Spencer (writers) and Jon Hodgson, Paul Bourne, Scott Neil, Scott Purdy &amp; Steffon Worthington (artists). You'll need a copy of the Call of Cthulhu rules to make full use of this setting.

Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying is a core rulesbook that gathers in one place the rules, modules, and options for one of the original and most influential role playing gaming systems in the world. 
Basic Roleplaying is designed to be intuitive and easy to play. While character attributes follow a 3D6 curve, most of the other Basic Roleplaying mechanics are even simpler. Virtually all rolls determining success or failure of a task are determined via the roll of percentile dice. The core virtues of the system are timeless. Primary characteristics of Basic Roleplaying that have emerged from decades of play, across many different varieties of the system are as follows: the system is remarkably friendly to newcomers, and it is easy to describe the basics of the game system, and the percentile mechanics, to non-gamers. Players of other game systems often find Basic Roleplaying to be much less mechanistic and less of a barrier to the actual act of roleplaying. Less time spent on game systems usually equals more time available for roleplaying and thinking in character. Most of the information players need to know is present on their character sheets. Characters tend to evolve based on practicing the skills they use the most. They do not arbitrarily gain experience in skills and qualities based on ephemeral elements such as levels or experience ranks. Combat can be very quick and deadly, and often the deciding blow in a conflict is the one to land first. 
Basic Roleplaying is remarkably modular: levels of complexity can be added or removed as needed, and the core system works equally well with considerable detail as it does with a minimal amount of rules. The internal consistency of Basic Roleplaying allows for rules judgments to be made rapidly and with little searching through the rulebook for special cases. 
This book represents a first for Basic Roleplaying: a system complete in one book, without a defined setting. Previously, Basic Roleplaying has been an integral part of stand-alone games, usually with rich and deep world settings. Due to differences in these settings, Basic Roleplaying has had many different incarnations. Variant and sometimes contradictory rules have emerged between versions, to better support one particular setting over another. 
Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying system reconciles these different flavors of the system and brings many variant rules together into the covers of one book, something that has never been done before. Some of these rules are provided as optional extensions, some as alternate systems, and others have been integrated into the core system. By design this work is not a reinvention of Basic Roleplaying or a significant evolution of the system, but instead a collected and complete version, without setting, provided as a guide to players and gamemasters everywhere and compatible with most Basic Roleplaying games. 
It also allows the gamemaster the ability to create his or her own game world (or worlds), to adapt others from fiction, films, or even translate settings from other roleplaying games into Basic Roleplaying.

Welcome to Chaosium s Basic Roleplaying Quick-Start Edition, a booklet that collects the essential rules for BRP and presents them in abbreviated form. 
This book comprises a basic roleplaying game system, a framework of rules aimed at allowing players to enact a sort of improvisational radio theater only without microphones and with dice determining wheÂther the characters succeed or fail at what they attempt to do. In roleplaying games, one player takes on the role of the gamemaster (GM), while the other player(s) assume the roles of player characters (PCs) in the game. The gamemaster also acts out the roles of characters who aren t being guided by players: these are called non-player characters (NPCs). 
From its origin, Basic Roleplaying was designed to be intuitive and easy to play. Character attributes follow a 3D6 curve, and the other Basic Roleplaying mechanics are even simpler. Virtually all rolls determining success or failure of a task are determined via the roll of percentile dice. This means that there s less fiddling with dice of different types, and the concept of a percentile chance of success is extremely easy for beginners and experienced players to grasp. 
Use this booklet to introduce new players to BRP, or hand it out to your established group for quick and dirty character creation.

Basic Roleplaying: The Chaosium Roleplaying System

Create. Explore. Play. 
Basic Roleplaying (BRP) is a system of core rules for tabletop roleplaying. Whether you’re a seasoned roleplaying veteran or new to the hobby, Basic Roleplaying has everything you need for years of entertainment. 
What's Inside 
Basic Roleplaying: Universal Game Engine is the complete guide to BRP―the same system that powers Call of Cthulhu, RuneQuest, Pendragon, Rivers of London, and countless others. 
BRP’s Universal Game Engine is available royalty-free for personal and commercial use under the ORC license. Use these rules, and focus on creating your worlds, scenarios and even books to sell! 
This book contains the core system rules, as well as character creation, advancement, monsters and antagonists, as well as GameMaster advice. 
A Seamless Core Mechanic 
In BRP, success and failure are always determined by the roll of a D100. Comparing that roll to the relevant Skill, Characteristic, Ability, or Power, you succeed if you roll under the target number. 
This means every stat on your character sheet clearly indicates to you the likelihood of success. 
Natural Character Growth 
Characters in a BRP game evolve based on what they do in-game. If you fire a gun, that skill may increase. 
If you want your character to learn magic, get better at driving cars, lassoing horses, or even repairing a spaceship, then your character will do so by using those skills! 
Deadly & Tactical Combat 
The core BRP rules present easy-to-learn and equally easy-to-teach combat mechanics that allow players to react to attacks―you don’t just have to wait for your turn in order to have an impact on combat! 
Conflict in BRP can be deadly, and every roll (attacking, fighting back, dodging or otherwise) is integral. This makes for a thrilling, high-octane experience with a system that does not slowdown the overall flow of play. 
Build The Game You Want 
With mechanics for magic, psychic powers, mutations, superpowers, weapons, equipment, and vehicles applicable to any setting and genre, Basic Roleplaying: Universal Game Engine is adaptable to any world of your choosing―either previously established, or created from scratch.
