I've never tried using a significantly modified system before. I guess its because my perception is that it would be difficult to engage others interest in the system. It would seem to me -- although I'm clearly speaking from ignorance -- that a potential player would first have to read and understand the system and then understand which parts of the system would not be used and why. Perhaps this approach works best when there is an established group thats understands the modified system and then individual new players are added over time so the new player simply integrates into the group dynamic so you have this peer pressure dynamic going on.
Does anyone have an experience to share selling a modified system to a brand new group? This seems like a tall order given that the only thing gamers love more than gaming is complaining about gaming rules... LOL.
On a related note about BRP... I'm a big Chaosium fan. I buy their stuff just for the pure enjoyment of reading it not to mention using it as gaming materials.
I use The Omni System as a genre generic universal system. Its very rules lite as well. I prefer this type of approach when actually gaming but I love to read specific titles for creative inspiration.

Urgh...
I hope this discussion board doesn't turn into so much ad space. I mean isn't that what the profile is for?
Individuals from all over the US are posting to these boards so putting an ad up is somewhat pointless.
